Wait until cut down to 53.

Baalke:
CB Jimmie Ward
DL Arik Armstead
DL Ronald Blair
DL DeForest Buckner
LB Eli Harold
OL Joshua Garnett
RB Raheem Mostert
S Jaquiski Tartt
ST Kyle Nelson
ST Bradley Pinion
TE Garrett Celek
WR Aaron Burbridge

Only Buckner, Blair, Tartt, Celek and Pinion are the only ones who are worth a damn.

I'd add Nelson to that list.

Gotta hand it to Baalke. He had a great eye for long snappers!!!

11 players left - wow. And we haven't even gotten down to cut-down day yet.

Note that as the Baalke players are being purged, the injuries are going down too.

Seriously.

By the way, which of the last 11 do you think might not make the 53?

Updated!

I think the list will be dramatically lower by the end of 2019's TC.

S Jaquiski Tartt

WR Aaron Burbridge

Just realized... No matter what, chances are, there will always be two...

And, Celek and Pinion aren't bad... not awesome, but not bad

Nelson is a solid LS that isn't going anywhere, either.

Of the 11 holdovers, only eight of them were drafted by the team. There's a very good chance Burbidge will be cut, Ward's option shouldn't have been picked up and Armstead will probably not be here next year. So, after two full seasons and offseasons and three drafts by the new regime, Baalke will have eight players left on the roster and two of them will be a long snapper and punter (and that's assuming a guy like Blair holds on). Also of the eight still on the 2019 roster, only FIVE Baalke draft picks will remain.

He was a guy who stockpiled picks, almost never signed free agents and let players walk that should have been resigned (Delanie Walker, Frank Gore). What did he have to show for all those draft picks? He left one legit blue chipper, one other quality starter, a decent punter, and then guys like Blair and Garnett. He should never be allowed anywhere near an NFL draft for any team ever again. Since he doesn't have an eye for talent at least his interpersonal skills by all accounts are outstanding.

Contrast that with the new regime. Witherspoon, Foster and Colbert are all legit defensive starters. Foster could be out the league in another year or two, but still. Kittle is a quality TE. Taylor is a decent slot receiver. If there are 26 guys who are starters or guys that come in on specific downs (e.g. 2nd TE), then this team got around least six of those guys from the 2017 draft. For 2018, I feel good already about Old Man McGlinchey, Eagle Eye Cherry and Fred Warner. Then there are guys like Reed, James and Taylor who could produce as the season progresses.
