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.

Linebacker (5)

Kwon Alexander
Fred Warner
Dre Greenlaw
Mark Nzeocha
Azeez Al-Shaair

This group could get a shakeup depending on how camp plays out, but Alexander, Warner and Greenlaw appear locked in at the top of the depth chart going into the season.

Cuts: D. Flannigan-Fowles, Joey Alfieri, Joe Walker

Defensive line (10)

Arik Armstead
Javon Kinlaw (R)
Nick Bosa
Dee Ford
DJ Jones
Jullian Taylor
Solomon Thomas
Kevin Givens
Kerry Hyder
Ronald Blair

Blair’s torn ACL is going to be a factor going into the year and could change the roster calculus some. The top of this group is pretty set, but the depth is going to be essential to this group dominating again this season.

Cuts: Jonathan Kongbo, Willie Henry Jr, Alex Barrett, Ray Smith, Kentavius Street

Specialists (3)

P Mitch Wishnowsky
LS Kyle Nelson

There aren’t any threats to anyone here.

Cuts: None
