        Below is my current projected roster.<\/p>\n

        OFFENSE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        QB(2): 5 Trey Lance(2024), & 7 Nate Sudfeld(2022)
        \nRB(4): 25 Elijah Mitchell(2024), 22 Jeff Wilson Jr.(2022), 28 Trey Sermon(2024), & 23 JaMycal Hasty(2022)

        \nRT(1): 69 Mike McGlinchey(2022)<\/p>\n

        DEFENSE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        DE(6): 97 Nick Bosa(2022), 56 Samson Ebukam(2022), 94 Jordan Willis(2022), 92 Charles Omenihu(2022), — Kerry Hyder Jr.(2022), & N\/A
        \nDT(3): 91 Arik Armstead(2024), 90 Kevin Givens(2022), & 96 Maurice Hurst Jr.(2022)
        \nNT(2): 99 Javon Kinlaw(2023), & — Hassan Ridgeway(2022)
        \nWLB(1): 57 Dre Greenlaw(2022)
        \nMLB(2): 54 Fred Warner(2026), & — Oren Burks(2023)
        \nSLB(2): 51 Azeez Al-Shaair(2022), & 45 Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles(2022)
        \nCB(6): 35 Charvarius Ward(2024), 4 Emmanuel Moseley(2022), 20 Ambry Thomas(2024), 38 Deommodore Lenoir(2024), 27 Dontae Johnson(2022), & N\/A
        \nFS(2): 1 Jimmie Ward(2022), & 33 Tarvarius Moore(2022)
        \nSS(2): 29 Talanoa Hufanga(2024), & 30 George Odum(2024)<\/p>\n

        SPECIAL TEAMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        PK(1): 9 Robbie Gould(2022)
        \nP(1): 18 Mitch Wishnowsky(2022)
        \nLS(1): 46 Taybor Pepper(2022)<\/p>\n

        I do have 54 spots, and the reasoning for this is, the fact that I don\u2019t know what position the 49ers would go with less, obvious answer may be defensive line, but the 10 + 1 other I have seem like a safe bet, but we\u2019ll see come September.<\/p>\n

        Ok, so with the 48 players I have making it, plus the 9 draft picks, the 49ers cap commitment would come to $178,552,056, plus $6,612,613 in dead money, for a total cap commitment of $185,164,669, which would give the 49ers $28,209,492 in cap room, and when we add in the teams practice squad, which should cost $2,902,500, that would leave the team with $25,306,992 in cap room for the 2022 season, but this doesn\u2019t include any other free agent addition, or extensions for Deebo Samuel, & Nick Bosa.<\/p>\n

        Now, that $25,306,992 is a good amount, with the likelihood that the 49ers would be able to carryover somewhere in the $12 million to $14 million range to 2023, which, under my projections from the article<\/a> I wrote a week or so ago, that would give the team either $34,141,669 with $12 million carryover, plus Alex Mack on the roster, or $36,141,669 with $14 million, carryover plus Alex Mack on the roster, but that\u2019s with just 35 potential players, with 51, they\u2019d have either $21,391,669 with $12 million carryover, plus Mack on the roster, or $23,391,669 with $14 million carryover, plus Mack on the roster.<\/p>\n

        Now, if Alex Mack does retire, then the 49ers would have either $47,466,669 with $12 million carryover, or $39,466,669 with $14 million carryover, but that\u2019s with just 34 players, so with 51 signed, they\u2019d have either $21,391,669 with $12 million carryover, or $23,391,669 with $14 million carryover.<\/p>\n

        Of course, this is depended upon the 49ers moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo, which saves the 49ers $25.55 million, but the 49ers can create more cap room, they can restructure Trent Williams($4.904 million saved), and Fred Warner($1,223,200 saved), or they can extend Jimmie Ward($6.224 million saved), which would mean that his $6.395 million pending dead money hit in 2023 would go away, and his cap number could be in the $6.395 million to $8 million range for 2023.<\/p>\n

        So, let me reiterate the fact that the 49ers SHOULD\u2019NT borrow cap room from the future, just top appease a fanbase that wants them to go out, and sign older washed up players, or injury prone players, the likes of Bobby Wagner, Stephon Gilmore, & Julio Jones, or go out and overpay Tyrann Mathieu, this way the 49ers have salary cap room to carryover into 2023, because they have to potentially replace some good players, or re-sign those players.<\/p>\n

        When it comes to the 2022 draft, the 49ers needs, in my eyes are as follows, they need to find a 5th<\/sup> & 6th<\/sup> wide receivers, a 3rd<\/sup> tight end, a center to groom behind Mack, an EDGE rusher to go opposite Nick Bosa long term, another young cornerback, & potentially a safety, either free safety or strong safety, and potentially a 5th<\/sup> linebacker if they feel Flannigan-Fowles isn\u2019t cutting it.<\/p>\n

        Next up is my updated mock draft.<\/p>\n

        RD 2(#61) \u2013 OG Dylan Parham, Memphis
        \nRD 3(#93) \u2013 WR Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, Kentucky

        \nFS(2): 1 Jimmie Ward(2022), & 33 Tarvarius Moore(2022)
        \nSS(2): 29 Talanoa Hufanga(2024), & 30 George Odum(2024)<\/p>\n

        SPECIAL TEAMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        PK(1): 9 Robbie Gould(2022)
        \nP(1): — Matt Araiza (2025)
        \nLS(1): 46 Taybor Pepper(2022)<\/p>\n

        PRACTICE SQUAD:<\/p>\n

        FB 40 Josh Hokit
        \nWR 86 Austin Mack
        \nWR \u2013 KeeSean Johnson
        \nTE 88 Jordan Matthews*
        \nTE 84 Tanner Hudson
        \nC 64 Jake Brendel*
        \nOT \u2013 Tyler Vrabel
        \nLT 67 Justin Skule*
        \nRT 77 Alfredo Gutierrez
        \nDE 58 Alex Barrett
        \nNT 78 Chris Slayton
        \nWLB 59 Curtis Robinson
        \nSLB 45 Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
        \nCB 43 Darqueze Dennard*
        \nCB \u2013 Ka\u2019dar Hollman*
        \nSS — Markquese Ball<\/p>\n

        With this 53-man roster, plus the practice squad, this would add to a total cap commitment of $177,789,520, plus $12,695,146 in dead money, for a total cap commitment of $190,484,666, leaving the 49ers $22,889,495 under their 2022 adjusted cap, which is plenty to operate during the season, in the $6 million to $8 million range, along with plenty to carryover, likely in the $12 million to $14 million.<\/p>\n

        If, for some reason the 49ers keep Jimmy Garoppolo, and his $26.95 million cap hit, they would have $1.4 million less in dead money, but another spot, say Dontae Johnson\u2019s at $335,000 saved, giving them $214,732,166 in cap commitments for their 53-man roster, 16-man practice squad, leaving them $2,478,005 over their 2022 adjusted cap.<\/p>\n

        But, these numbers don\u2019t include potential cap room used to extend Deebo Samuel, & Nick Bosa, which would come to about $2 million, so the 49ers would need to do one to two moves, either restructure or extend someone, they can restructure either left tackle Trent Williams($4.904 million saved), or middle linebacker Fred Warner($1,223,200 saved), or they could extend someone like defensive end Samson Ebukam($3.892 million saved), cornerback Emmanuel Moseley($2.692 million saved), or free safety Jimmie Ward($6.224 million saved).<\/p>\n

        But, as we know, we will likely see many roster moves made between now, and the beginning of the 2022 season.<\/p>\n
