49ers’ O-line maintains crucial continuity heading into 2024

ORLANDO, Fla. — The 49ers featured one of the better offensive lines in the NFL during the 2023 season. And there still is plenty of room for improvement after San Francisco's offense ranked second in the NFL in total yards and third in points scored during the 2023 regular season. The 49ers re-signed veteran right guard Jon Feliciano to ensure their best five offensive linemen from last season have a chance to remain together. Even if San Francisco does not find a starting-caliber offensive lineman in the draft, the unit should be better just because of continuity. "The more O-line play together, the better they get," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said at the NFL Annual Meeting. "It's the one position where five guys really have to work a lot through practice in the offseason, training camp and throughout the year." "You watch an O-line in the last half of the year and compare it to the first, they usually get better, if they stay healthy. We've been able to do that for the most part. Excited to get our group back. We'll always keep looking to add and improve through the draft, to get more competition in there. But I've been real happy with our group."

Dane Brugler of The Athletic believes the 49ers will use the second-round pick, No. 63 overall, to bolster their defense. He projects former Georgia cornerback Kamari Lassiter to join San Francisco with the selection.

The San Francisco 49ers appear to have found their quarterback. It was a bumpy road on the journey to locate him, too. There was the up-and-down tenure of Jimmy Garoppolo, whose relationship with Head Coach Kyle Shanahan seemed dysfunctional, at times. Then there was the short-lived Trey Lance experiment.
Garoppolo and Lance are no longer being with the team, and one major reason is the emergence of Brock Purdy as the team's QB. Purdy finished his second season with a trip to the Super Bowl, after having a Pro Bowl season in which he finished with 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also led the league in multiple statistics, including passer rating (113.0) and QBR (72.8). Additionally, Purdy finished fourth in NFL MVP voting.

We were just on the conference call with OL Dominick Puni and he suggested that you guys are probably looking at him as a guard, obviously he played tackle as well. What's the plan for him?
John Lynch: "Yeah, our belief is that we're going to start him on the inside as a guard. But the cool thing about Dominick is, it's not often you can say this about a player, that he can play all five. And we believe that's the case with him. He snapped in practice, he snapped in the Senior Bowl

During the NFL owners' meetings, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York noted the significant rise in quarterback salaries in recent years. However, he acknowledged the market value of such players, recognizing that he'll have to sign a substantial check for his young quarterback, Brock Purdy, next year.
York stated, "And to me, the quarterback is the most important position, not just in football, but in all sports, and those guys should be paid a lot."
Last week, Brock Purdy addressed York's comments, showing no concern about the financial implications that will arise next year. Instead, he
