higher-ups in the NFL."Just about everyone has weighed in on the NFL Draft. ESPN’s Mike Sando recently sat down with some NFL executives and asked for their unfiltered opinions on every teams NFL Draft. Keep in mind https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Alfred-Morris-Jersey , these are anonymous, so they can say anything without any repercussions. What you’re about to read is a great example of that. Here’s what they had to say.One thing that I’m looking forward to is Bosa and Dee Ford lining up on the same side. Gus Bradley, Dan Quinn, and every defensive coordinator that has run the “Seattle Cover 3” defense has done. Robert Saleh hasn’t had a pair of pass rushers to do this.I don’t want to sugarcoat this. This is such a dumb quote. If you watched any San Francisco 49ers game in December, you would see No. 94 on defense playing inside. Week 17 against the Rams, Thomas comes off the bench on the third series and subs in for Deforest Buckner, noted defensive tackle. For the next two plays when the Niners went to their sub-package, Buckner played the one technique, over the outside shoulder of the center Weston Richburg Jersey , and Thomas played the three technique, where Buckner usually plays. Bosa and Thomas do not play the same positIon.Pretend Thomas was still playing on the edge. Knowing Dee Ford’s contract is team-friendly,if he flops, passing on Bosa is more of a gamble than anything.You could also look at this as just a best player available situation. That’s it. If Bosa is the best player on the board, take him. That is completely independent of Thomas, Q. Williams, or anyone, honestly.The more you hear people talk about Deebo, the more you fall in love with him. “Hard worker” Cassius Marsh Color Rush Jersey , and “tough kid” keep coming up. I can’t wait to watch Samuel in a Kyle Shanahan offense. The offseason is over.

Here is our guess at who will make the opening day rosterPDTShareTweetShareShare49ers 53-man roster projection heading into training campPhoto by Ezra Shaw/Getty ImagesAfter the NFL Draft, we projected how the depth chart for the San Francisco 49ers would look entering the season. With OTAs, minicamp, and everything in between, a lot can change in a month. Let’s start on offense:I think the surprise cut could very well be Jordan Matthews. Great guy. Great teammate. I’m struggling to find what he does that will separate himself from the rest of the receivers. Matthews is better down the field receiver than Trent Taylor, but he doesn’t have the upside of Jalen Hurd. I wouldn’t count on Richie James making the roster.Garrett Celek shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise here. He’ll be coming off back surgery. The 49ers drafted Smith, they also have Toilolo, and there’s also Tyree Mayfield as an H-back if needed.Erik Magnuson is left off as Mike Person can play center. Willie Beavers can play both guard and tackle https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Brock-Coyle-Jersey , but I don’t see the team giving up on Joshua Garnett.DefenseIt’ll come down to a numbers game on defense. With Arik Armstead and Solomon Thomas able to play both inside and out, I suspect the 49ers will carry one less defensive linemen.I have a feeling Greenlaw plays more snaps than Smith this season, even if he doesn’t “start.” Leaving Adrian Colbert off is a big surprise here. He’s currently running with the starters as Ward is sidelined. As training camp goes on, I don’t see Moore running with the third team here. Colbert was the toughest player to leave off this projection. The positional flexibility between Moore and Reed will keep them on the roster.The final three spots are for Robbie Gould, Mitch Wishnowsky, and long snapper Colin Holba.This is tough to project with the injury history for a lot of the players. This projection will likely look different come August when we do this one final time. For now, I’d feel good about most of these projections.
