Today we end our 9-part series where I rank each player, from 1-91, & of course today we end up ranking players 1-10.<\/p>\n
Note: The reason I\u2019m doing 91 is because the 49ers are able to carry Alfredo Gutierrez on their roster without him counting against the 90-man limit.<\/p>\n
2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$3,800,000 Analysis: <\/strong>The 49ers prized free agent addition, Ward was one of the top cornerbacks available, and the 49ers got him on a 3-year deal, worth $13.5 million a year, and he\u2019s only gotten better, & better each year, so expect him to be the teams\u2019 #1 cornerback.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$12,935,588 Analysis: <\/strong>Jimmie is one of the most underrated safeties in the NFL, he is also the teams\u2019 best cover-man, he isn\u2019t a big INT guy, but he\u2019s a playmaker on defense, a hard hitter, good tackler, so he\u2019ll be here in 2022, as for 2023, that\u2019s another question to be answered another day.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$2,958,750 Analysis<\/strong>: Juice is more than a fullback, he\u2019s a pure weapon, so versatile, as he can run with the ball, catch it, lineup at tight end, in the slot, & of course run blocking, he does everything & anything, so expect Juice to be around for a while.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$3,417,641 Analysis: <\/strong>Aiyuk had a very good second season in the bay, he put up over 820 receiving yards, and had 5 touchdowns, he\u2019s a clear playmaker, he\u2019s sure handed, and a great all-around weapon, so expect Brandon to be a 49er for a long time.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$9,756,000 Analysis: <\/strong>Man, Arik proved he\u2019s worth the $17 million a year deal he got in 2020, as he was a beast once he was moved to his best position, the 3-Technique in DeMeco Ryans\u2019 defense, no he didn\u2019t have double digit sacks, but he was still dominant in the rush defense.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$8,134,588 Analysis: <\/strong>Despite having somewhat of a down year, he still left the team in tackles with 124 total tackles, and he\u2019s well worth the $19.045 million a year contract extension that he received last summer, & he\u2019s one of the best linebackers in the NFL, right there with Indianapolis Colts\u2019 Darius Leonard.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$7,679,765 Analysis: <\/strong>Kittle didn\u2019t have his best season in 2021, as he missed 3 games, yet still finished with 910 receiving yards, & 6 touchdowns, while being one of the main reasons, along with Trent Williams, & Kyle Juszcyzk, that the running game was so dynamic in 2021, & he\u2019s still the best all-around tight end in the NFL.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$14,031,765 Analysis: <\/strong>Trent had such a great year in 2021, he proved that he\u2019s well worth that $23.01 million a year contract he got last offseason, and he\u2019s clearly the NFL\u2019s best Tackle, he was named an All-Pro, & a Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number:<\/strong> $10,805,564 Analysis: <\/strong>Bosa has been an absolute beast, he had 9 sacks his rookie year, and last season he showed that the torn ACL was fully healthy, where he had 15.5 sacks, and expect Nick to be rewarded with a huge contract extension, as he\u2019s on the of the best, if not the best edge rushers in the NFL.<\/p>\n 2022 Cap Number: <\/strong>$4,890,519 Analysis: <\/strong>Deebo had one of the best seasons in recent memory, combining for over 1700 yards between receiving, & rushing, with 14 total touchdowns, and even though he\u2019s asked for a trade, it didn\u2019t happen, and it won\u2019t happen, as Deebo will be a 49er for a long time, as I 100% believe the 49ers extend Deebo.<\/p>\n
