The NFL draft has wrapped up, and the 49ers are closing in on a complete 90-man roster. That means it’s time to take a guess at what the 53-man roster will look like.
Undrafted rookies haven’t been announced yet, so they could wind up playing a role. A truncated offseason due to COVID-19 closures may also have an impact on how teams put their rosters together, favoring more experienced players to rookies.
San Francisco didn’t make many changes in the offseason, but there’ll definitely be some tweaks. Here’s our first guess at what the 49ers’ final roster will be:
Quarterback (3)
Jimmy Garoppolo
Nick Mullens
CJ Beathard
There’ll likely be a quarterback among the undrafted rookies once they’re announced. For now, all three 49ers quarterbacks stay on the roster with Garoppolo and Mullens the active duo on game days.
Cut: None
Running back (4)
Raheem Mostert
Tevin Coleman
Jerick McKinnon
Jeff Wilson Jr.
If McKinnon is healthy, he should make the club. There are two running backs among the reported undrafted rookies, so they’ll be thrown in the mix with a chance to contribute.
Cut: None
