Here's my latest, with Luter on PUP.

QB(3): Purdy, Lance, & Darnold
RB(4): CMC, Mitchell, Mason, & TDP
FB(1): Juice
WR(6): Deebo, BA, JJ, Ray-Ray, Gray, & Bell
TE(3): Kittle, Latu, & Willis
OL(8): Trent, Banks, Brendel, Burford, McKivitz, Feliciano, Zakelj, Pryor
DL(10): Bosa, Hargrave, AA, Drake, Ferrell, Bryant, Beal, Kinlaw, Givens, & Davis
LB(5): Fred, Dre, Burks, Winters, & Graham
CB(5): Mooney, Lenoir, Oliver, Womack, & Ambry
S(5): Gipson, Huf, Brown, Odum, & Hartsfield
ST(3): Moody, Wish, & Pepper

I like it. Think my decisions are coming down to do we keep 4 TEs? (Woerner in. One of Bryant/Beal/Hyder, Out-meaning carry 9 DL) How may Safties to start the season? I know Hartsfield is Wilkes guy but do we need 5 S? Keep an eye on Jamison if they go 6 Cbs instead of 5 S to start while Luter heals. He has versatility ST ace at Texas. Can't remember if he played S at all. I feel like he did?
I also like McCrary-Ball over Graham for experience factor. But if Graham and Winters make him expendable then tip of the hat go get 'em kid!

Hey AB! I just posted a video on a Roster Projection. The link is below but here is my 53 Man Roster

QB: Purdy, Lance, Darnold
RB: CMC, Mitchell, Mason, TDP, Juszczyk
TE: Kittle, Latu, Woerner, Willis
WR: Deebo, Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray, Gray
OL: Trent, Banks, Brendel, Burford, McKivitz, Feliciano, Pryor, Moore
DT: Hargrave, Armstead, Kinlaw, Givens, Davis
EDGE: Bosa, Drake, Ferrell, Bryant, Beal Jr
LB: Warner, Greenlaw, Burks, Winters, Graham
CB: Mooney, Lenoir, Oliver, Womack Ambry
S: Hufanga, Gipson, Brown, Odom, Hartsfield
ST: Moody, Wishnowsky, Taybor

For those who want to hear/see my rationale feel free to check out the video!

Pre-Pre-Season Guess, as of right now:

Offense
(3) QB: Purdy, Lance, Darnold
(5) RB: CMC, Mitchell, Mason, TDP, Juszczyk
(3) TE: Kittle, Latu, Willis
(6) WR: Samuel, Aiyuk, Jennings, McCloud, Gray, Ronnie Bell
(8) OL: Trent Williams, Banks, Brendel, Burford, McKivitz, Feliciano, Pryor, Moore

Defense
(5) DT: Hargrave, Armstead, Kinlaw, Givens, Davis
(5) EDGE: Bosa, Drake, Hyder, Beal Jr, Alex Barrett
(5) LB: Warner, Greenlaw, Burks, McCrary-Ball, Winters
(5) CB: Mooney, Lenoir, Oliver, Womack, Jamison
(5) S: Hufanga, Gipson, Brown, Odom, Hartsfield

(3) ST: Moody, Wishnowsky, Taybor

PUP: CB Darrell Luter

Every year it gets harder.

QB (3): Purdy, Lance, Darnold
RB (4): McCaffrey, Mitchell, Davis-Price, Mason
FB (1): Juszczyk
WR (6): Aiyuk, Deebo, Jennings, McCloud, Gray, Bell
TE (4): Kittle, Latu, Woerner, Willis
OL (8): Williams, Banks, Brendel, Burford, McKivitz, Feliciano, Pryor, Moore

DL (10): Bosa, Hargrave, Armstead, Jackson, Givens, Kinlaw, Ferrell, Beal, Hyder, Davis
LB (5): Warner, Greenlaw, Burks, McCrary, Winters
CB (5): Ward, Lenoir, Oliver, Womack, Luter
S (4): Gipson, Hufanga, Brown, Odum

K (1): Moody
P (1): Wishnowsky
LS (1): Pepper

I think the 8th OL spot will be a battle between Moore, Fisher, and Zakelj. I hope to see a lot of Zakelj in the preseason. With being able to activate an extra OL from the PS on gameday there's no reason to carry 9.

I wouldn't mind cutting Hyder to try to get him on the PS in order to carry Hartsfield for STs.

If Luter is still on PUP I'll go with Ambry.

I think the following players are locked into roster spots for the 53 as of now.

1. QB 13 Brock Purdy
2. QB 5 Trey Lance
3. QB 14 Sam Darnold
4. RB 23 Christian McCaffrey
5. RB 25 Elijah Mitchell
6. RB 32 Tyrion Davis-Price
7. RB 24 Jordan Mason
8. FB 44 Kyle Juszcyzk
9. WR 19 Deebo Samuel
10. WR 11 Brandon Aiyuk
11. WR 15 Jauan Jennings
12. WR 3 Ray-Ray McCloud III
13. TE 85 George Kittle
14. TE 81 Cameron Latu
15. C 64 Jake Brendel
16. C 55 Jon Feliciano
17. LG 65 Aaron Banks
18. RG 74 Spencer Burford
19. LT 71 Trent Williams
20. RT 68 Colton McKivitz
21. DE 97 Nick Bosa
22. DE 95 Drake Jackson
23. DE 94 Clelin Ferrell
24. IDL 98 Javon Hargrave
25. IDL 91 Arik Armstead
26. IDL 90 Kevin Givens
27. IDL 99 Javon Kinlaw
28. LB 54 Fred Warner
29. LB 57 Dre Greenlaw
30. LB 48 Oren Burks
31. CB 7 Charvarius Ward
32. CB 2 Deommodore Lenoir
33. CB 26 Isaiah Oliver
34. CB 0 Samuel Womack III
35. FS 31 Tashaun Gipson Sr.
36. FS 27 Ji'Ayir Brown
37. SS 29 Talanoa Hufanga
38. SS 30 George Odum
39. PK 4 Jake Moody
40. P 18 Mitch Wishnowsky
41. LS 46 Taybor Pepper

That's 41 spots, leaving 10 open spots.

Guys I have as having a real shot are.

1. WR 6 Danny Gray
2. WR 10 Ronnie Bell
3. TE 82 Ross Dwelley
4. TE 9 Brayden Willis
5. TE 89 Charlie Woerner
6. LG 63 Nick Zakelj
7. LG 51 Jason Poe
8. G 66 Joey Fisher
9. T 76 Jaylon Moore
10. T 75 Matt Pryor
11. DE 56 Austin Bryant
12. DE 58 Alex Barrett
13. DE 92 Kerry Hyder Jr.
14. DE 55 Robert Beal Jr.
15. IDL 93 Kalia Davis
16. IDL 96 T.Y. McGill Jr.
17. LB 40 Marcelino McCrary-Ball
18. LB 53 Dee Winters
19. LB 50 Jalen Graham
20. LB 45 Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
21. CB 22 D'Shawn Jamison
22. CB 28 Darrell Luter Jr.
23. CB 20 Ambry Thomas
24. FS 38 Myles Hartsfield

The rest seem to be camp bodies IMO.

Not bad, I really hope we don't keep 4 TEs, I'd rather use the extra spot on someone like Jamison or Hartsfield, to have 10 DL.

Good thing with Hyder, he doesn't go thru waivers, so he would just sign back to the PS, but I'm rooting for him to make it, same with McGill. I know I have Ferrell as a lock, but I'd love to see Hyder & Beal take his & Bryant's spots.

The top 4 should be
Bengals
Dolphins
Eagles
Niners

And I don't think the Eagles' WRs are really much better than Niners'. If Brown and Smith are better than Deebo and Aiyuk it's minimal.

I think this is the winner NC. I've been reading that TY McGill having a good camp too, as well as Barrett. I also would love to see Poe make the roster over Zakelj.

Same. I was torn on McGill vs. youth in Kalia Davis but I went with youth given we picked up McGill very late last year and can probably add him to the PS or keep him on speed dial again if needed.

I think Moore makes it over Watson if healthy, Watson to PS, doubt we keep 9 OL, not when we have to keep 3 QBs, but that's me.

No real issues except Taco Charlton, I'd still put Beal on the 53 somehow, doubt we go 9 DL, likely 10 DL, but this will be a tough cutdown, hoping since it's all at once, we can sneak some guys thru waivers.

McGill has $400K GTD, doesn't mean much, they'd likely get it back since he'd be on the PS IMO, doesn't need to go thru waivers. Heck Dwelley has $700K GTD, hope they can trade him and DFF to get out of the base salary GTD amounts.

I'm very much splitting hairs on Moore and Watson. Foerster just never mentions Moore so I'm going with the guy he's at least spoken about thus far. LOL

We kept 10 OL to start last year with 3 QB's: https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/archive/262/SF

Beal has been injured and isn't getting any run (like Luter). Late starts are very hard to overcome for these young guys at this stage esp. when facing vets who are ball'n right off the plane. I went with 9 DL because they usually keep like 5 on the PS (including veterans) and they always get called up and have never been poached.

Great points. Dwelley and DFF just aren't it.
