Instant Analysis of the 49ers 2022 53-Ma
The 49ers just announced their final cuts as well as their 53-man roster for 2022.Here are the final cuts:TE Troy FumagalliS Tashaun Gipson Sr.CB Dontae JohnsonWR Marcus JohnsonTE Tyler KroftOL Jordan MillsWR Willie Snead IVDL Akeem SpenceQB Nate SudfeldDL Kemoko TurayWR Malik TurnerDL Jordan WillisDL Kevin AtkinsDL Alex BarrettCB Tariq Castro-FieldsOL Alfredo GutierrezRB JaMycal HastyS Tayler HawkinsCB Qwuantrezz KnightWR Tay MartinLB Marcelino McCrary-BallLB Segun OlubiOL Jason PoeOL Justin SkuleOL Keaton SutherlandHere is the 53- German Marquez Jersey man roster:Quarterback (3): Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, Brock PurdyKeeping Garoppolo is the smart move, because the 49ers need a backup quarterback who can win a few games if Trey Lance gets injured. Nate Sudfeld isn’t that backup, so releasing him was a smart move, too. Not sure it was nece sary to carry a third quarterback and give Brock Purdy a spot on the team — I’m gue sing he would have cleared waivers and landed on the practice squad, but we’ll never know.Running back (5): Elijah Mitchell, Jeff Wilson Jr., Trey Sermon, Ty Davis-Price, Jordan Mason.Jordan Mason asbolutely earned a spot on this team — the undrafted rookie free agent was arguably the 49ers’ best running back this offseason. Trey Sermon might become a good running back one day, but he did not earn a spot on this team, because he’s not as good as JaMycal Hasty, and Hasty got cut.Fullback (1): Kyle JuszczykBest fullback in the league.Wide receiver (5): Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Ray-Ray McCloud, Jauan Jennings, Danny Gray.Keeping five wide receivers instead of six Bryan Shaw Jersey is a prudent move for a team that runs more than it pa ses.Tight end (3): George Kittle, Ro s Dwelley, Charlie WoernerSame three as last season.Offensive tackle (4): Trent Williams, Mike McGlinchey, Jaylon Moore, Colton McKivitzScroll to ContinueJordan Mills outplayed Moore in camp, but Moore is much younger and has potential to improve, so the 49ers kept him instead. Understandable.Guard (4): Spencer Burford, Daniel Brunskill, Aaron Banks, Nick ZakeljRookies Ian Desmond Jersey Spencer Burford and Nick Zakelj both improved as the preseason progre sed. Undrafted rookie Jason Poe played as well or better than both of them, but the 49ers released him, because they think he’ll land on their practice squad. He’d better.Center (1): Jake BrendelReplacing Alex Mack will be one gargantuan task.Defensive line (9): Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Javon Kinlaw, Samson Ebukam, Kevin Givens, Drake Jackson, Charles Omenihu, Ha san Ridgeway, Kerry Hyder.The odd man out is Kemoko Turay, who’s good but not good enough to be in the deepest defensive line in the NFL.Linebackers (6): Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, Azeez Al-Shaair, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Oren Burks, Curtis Robinson.The 49ers signed Burks this offseason to replace Marcell Harris, and so far Burks looks like a major upgrade at linebacker and on special teams.Cornerback (5): Charvarius Ward, Emmanuel Moseley, Samuel Womack, Deommodore Lenoir, Ambry Thomas.Womack and Lenoir both can play outside or in the slot, Pat Valaika Jersey so the 49ers kept five cornerbacks instead of six.Safety (4): Jimmie Ward, Talanoa Hufanga, George Odum, Tarvarius Moore.The 49ers still could sign Jaquiski Tartt, who recently got released by the Philadelphia Eagles, but that seems unlikely.Specialists (3): Robbie Gould, Mitch Wishnowsky, Taybor PepperNo surprises here.
