If he gets enough playing time in the preseason he might beat out Ridgeway or Givens.

Yea I spoke too soon. He may beat out Ridgeway. I think Givens is a lock with Hurst's injury.

The 53 3.0

QB (2) Lance, Sudfeld
Prediction- 49ers still might bring in a Veteran to back Lance.

RB/FB (5) Mitchell, Juszczk, Davis-Price, Sermon, Mason
Prediction-They want to protect Mason who is skilled at running inside/outside zone as well as pass receiving. He surely would be picked up by Seahawks who need a RB. I have Wilson out and Hasty out. One or both could make PS.

WR (5) Deebo, Aiyuk, Jennings, Ray-Ray, Gray
Prediction- No need to have over 5 WRs with such a heavy run game.

TE (3) Kittle, Kroft, Dwelley
Prediction- Mathews was my hot take to make team prior to injury. Still think he would have made 53. Woerner ends up on PUP at start of season. Dwelley may squeak in again if Tanner Hudson doesn't beat him out.

OL (9) Williams, McGlinchey, Moore, Banks, Burford, Brunskill, Brendel, Zakelj, McKivitz
Prediction- Still think they go with 9 OL. Burford looks entrenched at RG. They won't take a chance of losing Zakelj. Obviously, 49ers hope Brendel wins Center job even though Brunskill is out performing him in terms of blocking. If Brunskill could snap the ball, he'd beat him out. So we'll see.

DL (11) Bosa, Kinlaw, Armstead, Jackson, Ebukam, Givens, Omenihu, Ridegeway, Turray, Willis, Nkemdiche
Prediction- If we went with 10, Willis would be out but they love Willis. I think Nkemdiche needs to stay to have a back up NT for Kinlaw. Givens has trouble holding the point of attack from double teams and Ridgeway is good in spurts, but lacks endurance and is injury prone.

LB (5) Warner, Greenlaw, Al-Shaair, Burks, Flannigan-Fowles
Prediction- Added the 5th LB back in with a change in the DB selections.

CB (6) C.Ward, Mosley, Thomas, Womack, Lenoir, D.Johnson (CB/S)
Prediction- Strategically, as predicted, Verrett is put on PUP. New take on what's being reported at training camp. J.Ward has been taking a lot a snaps against WRs especially during one on ones. He may be the guy who comes down to cover the slot on 3 WR sets with both Hufanga and Moore coming in. Moore is looking good. Womack is now sharing snaps with Dennard on the 1st team maybe trying to see if they can slip Dennard onto the PS. This allows an extra slot to add to another position group which I did with LBs.

S (4) J.Ward, Hufanga, Odum, Moore
Prediction- Ward opens the season covering the slot on 3 WR sets.

ST (3) Wishnowsky, Gould, Pepper

I don't see Hyder not making it, Nkemdiche is a longer shot IMO, of the two, Hyder makes it IMO.

I see Hyder being a guy who can play DT/DE. He's gonna make the team.

You gotta make the squad only then will I learn how to pronounce you. Learned my lesson with Darqueze.

yay Jimmy is coming back

Now we ALL have to redo our predictions...

🤣 3 QBs? Trade nasty Nate?

49ers 53 Man Roster Announced and Updated with Trey Sermon Cut! Thanks for Looking and appreciate all your guys support!

Matt Maiocco's Pre Draft 53. While there are specific needs, Lynch/Shanahan have done a good job of going into the draft allowing them to pick best player available.

Quarterback (3): Trey Lance, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold

Regardless of the to-be-determined order to open the season, the 49ers are virtually guaranteed to keep three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. These are the three.

Running back (4): Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, Jordan Mason, Ty Davis-Price

Sure, the 49ers can add a veteran on a minimum salary or an undrafted rookie, but these are clearly the four backs who are ticketed for the regular-season roster.

Fullback (1): Kyle Juszczyk

Not-so-bold prediction for the upcoming season is that Juszczyk will be selected to his eighth consecutive Pro Bowl. No backup is required here.

Wide receiver (6): Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud, Danny Gray, Tay Martin

The onus is on Gray to win a roster spot after he spent his rookie season learning the playbook and how to work as a professional. Martin appeared in two games after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. There should be considerable competition for the last couple spots at receiver.

Tight end (3): George Kittle, Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley

The 49ers can be expected to keep a fourth tight end, as they have in the past. If the 49ers keep their late-third-round picks at Nos. 99, 101 and 102, it is reasonable that tight end would be one of the positions for them to target.

Offensive line (8): Trent Williams, Aaron Banks, Jake Brendel, Spencer Burford, Colton McKivitz, Jaylon Moore, Jon Feliciano, Nick Zakelj

There is some uncertainty at right tackle, where McKivitz and Moore likely will compete to replace Mike McGlinchey. The 49ers figure to increase competition via the draft. Also, the door is wide open for someone up from the practice squad, such as Jason Poe, to win a backup role.

Defensive line (10): Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave, Arik Armstead, Clelin Ferrell, Javon Kinlaw, Drake Jackson, Kevin Givens, T.Y. McGill, Kalia Davis (NFI), Austin Bryant

The 49ers lost four significant contributors along the defensive line. They signed three veterans and also have high hopes for Davis to make an impact after spending last season working his way back from an ACL tear. The 49ers can be expected to continue to add players, including a draft pick or two, to head into camp with healthy competition.

Linebacker (5): Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, Oren Burks, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Curtis Robinson

Burks, one of the 49ers' core special-teams players, took over as the 49ers' third linebacker when Azeez Al-Shaair was unavailable. This is a spot where the 49ers also figure to add a draft pick or priority free agent. And expect Marcelino McCrary-Ball to make a spirited bid for a roster spot.

Cornerback (6): Charvarius Ward, Deommodore Lenoir, Sam Womack, Isaiah Oliver, Ambry Thomas, A.J. Parker

The above six probably will not be the top six when the 49ers break camp. Parker is listed because he played 20 games (seven starts) over the past two seasons with the Detroit Lions. The 49ers can be expected to target this position in the draft. Also, keep an eye on versatile defender Qwuantrezz Knight, who spent his rookie season on the practice squad.

Safety (4): Talanoa Hufanga, Tashaun Gipson, George Odum, Myles Hartsfield

The 49ers brought back Gipson on a one-year deal while Jimmie Ward left for the Houston Texans in free agency. Hartsfield started 19 games the past two seasons for Carolina but was let go as a restricted free agent. The 49ers would be wise to find a player in the draft they can spend a year developing for a potential starting role a year from now (see Hufanga, 2021).

Specialists (3): K Zane Gonzalez, P Mitch Wishnowsky, LS Taybor Pepper

Perhaps, Gonzalez will be the team's kicker this season. Perhaps, not. How early is too early for the 49ers to draft a kicker? Is it even worth it to draft a kicker? The 49ers have not selected one since Jeff Chandler (fourth round) in 2002.

Book it.

Edit: Might need to find a spot for Colleto.

@NC you like Fisher as a OT and not a G?

My guess is we could probably stash Colleto bc the FB position is still not valued. But have to be careful there bc this is likely Juice's last year
