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.

Cornerback (5)

Richard Sherman
K’Waun Williams
Ahkello Witherspoon
Emmanuel Moseley
DJ Reed

There are a ton of interesting names to watch in this group. This group of five stands out for now, but it’s easy to see the team carrying more than five, and winding up with players like Dontae Johnson, Jason Verrett or Tim Harris on the roster.

Cuts: Jason Verrett, Dontae Johnson, Teez Tabor, Tim Harris, Jermaine Kelly

Safety (4)

Jimmie Ward
Jaquiski Tartt
Tarvarius Moore
Marcell Harris

There are a couple reported UDFA signings that can play safety. DJ Reed has also spent time at free safety. This group appears pretty locked in, but injuries are still a concern for this group going into camp.

Cuts: Chris Edwards, Derrick Kindred, Jacob Thieneman
