49ers 53-man roster projection 1.0: Post-NFL draft edition

The 49ers’ 53-man roster will look a lot like it did last year, with some significant shakeups.

Fullback (1)

Kyle Juszczyk

He’s not going anywhere considering his importance to the 49ers’ offense.

Cut: None

Wide receiver (7)

Jauan Jennings (R)
Trent Taylor
Jalen Hurd
Richie James Jr.

The receiving corps will be the most fascinating group to watch this offseason. These are the seven that stand out for now, but Dante Pettis is talented and aiming for a bounce-back season. It’s easy to see him landing on the roster. Hurd and Taylor are injury question marks, Jennings is a seventh-round rookie, and James’ biggest value to the club through two years is his kick return ability.

Cuts: Dante Pettis, Shawn Poindexter, Chris Thompson, Travis Benjamin
