Bottom line, we're going to lose some guys. I loaded the PS with WRs including Austin, JJ Nelson, White thinking that at least 1 will not be stolen off the practice squad which will allow Kyle to have one speed WR for Game one with Aiyuk and Deebo out. I think those 3 WRs will play along with accepting to go on the PS for at least one week. If they get claimed, they will have to be put on another team's 53 anyway which is a better place then where they were at before the 49ers picked them up.
Need to keep Beathard on 53 because with Covid, QBs are at a premium and he might actually be claimed. In a normal year, I wouldn't care. In fact, because of him being on the 53, I believe we will lose a D-lineman like Street or Givens. Probably, Street gets a mysterious injury and ends up on PUP.
Hasty is getting too much good pub. Kyle might risk losing Wilson to keep Hasty on the 53. Also D. Daniels might get swooped.
Change of Heart: 49ers playing up Harris so when they cut Cyprien, teams don't view him as a viable pick-up. Then they can re-sign Cyprien to a more cap friendly contract. I think the 49ers see Cyprien as a better option than Harris at this point and Harris should get through waivers easy enough to be placed on PS.
While Acy, Ahmed and Griffith were cut today, I think Kyle is throwing out a smoke screen by cutting them early so other teams feel they are not worth pursuing and they will be added to our PS after they pass through waivers.
