We’re continuing the 9-part series where I rank each player, from 1-91, & of course today we’re ranking players 61-70.
Note: The reason I’m doing 91 is because the 49ers are able to carry Alfredo Gutierrez on their roster without him counting against the 90-man limit.

RT 67 Justin Skule(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $939,887
Chance of making Roster: Longshot
Analysis: The 49ers have added too many offensive lineman for Skule to make the team, but the practice squad is still an option.
- LS 46 Taybor Pepper(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $1,120,00
Chance of making Roster: Lock
Analysis: The 49ers didn’t bring in anyone to compete with Pepper, that we know of, so he’s a lock to make the team.
-
P 18 Mitch Wishnowsky(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $1,156,018
Chance of making Roster: Lock
Analysis: The 49ers didn’t bring in anyone at punter, so the job is clearlyt still Wishnowsky’s.
-
SLB 45 Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $895,000
Chance of making Roster: 50/50
Analysis: If Flannigan-Fowles is to make the team, he needs to beat out UDFAs Jeremiah Gemmel, & Segun Olubi, along with Curtis Robinson for a potential 5th LB spot.
-
RB 23 JaMycal Hasty(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $895,000
Chance of making Roster: 50/50
Analysis: As you can tell, I’m not a big fan of Hasty, which is why I’m happy that the 49ers brought back Jeff Wilson Jr., & drafted a back this year, so I don’t see him on the 53, but he could make it, Kyle Shanahan seems to like him.
-
QB 14 Brock Purdy(2025)
2022 Cap Number: $724,253
Chance of making Roster: Longshot
Analysis: Unless there’s an injury, Purdy should begin on the teams’ practice squad, and be developed into the potential #2 QB for 2023, & beyond.
-
QB 7 Nate Sudfeld(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $2,000,000
Chance of making Roster: Lock
Analysis: The 49ers gave Sudfeld a fully guaranteed 1-year deal, worth $2 million, so he’s going to be the backup to Trey Lance in 2022.
-
CB 31 Darqueze Dennard(2022)
2022 Cap Number: $895,000
Chance of making Roster: 50/50
Analysis: Dennard has a chance to make the roster, especially as a nickel back/slot cornerback, but I see him on the practice squad.
-
WLB 47 Jeremiah Gemmel(2024)
2022 Cap Number: $711,666
Chance of making Roster: 50/50
Analysis: If Gemmel, a UDFA out of North Carolina, is going to make the team, he needs to show it on special teams, beat out Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Curtis Robinson, & Segun Olubi for a 5th LB spot.
-
C 62 Jason Poe(2024)
2022 Cap Number: $708,333
Chance of making Roster: 50/50
Analysis: Poe was signed as a UDFA out of Mercer, and he has a chance at being the teams’ backup center, but he’ll battle with the likes of Jake Brendel, Dohnovan West, & maybe Nick Zakelj.
