        Below are my biggest camp battles as of now.<\/p>\n

        Starting Right Guard spot: I see the team having 3 players battling it out, with all 3 being locks to make the 2022 roster, those being, incumbent starter Daniel Brunskill, 2021 6th<\/sup>-rounder Jaylon Moore, & 2022 4th<\/sup>-rounder Spencer Burford, with Moore being my favorite to win the right guard spot.<\/p>\n

        Starting Strong Safety spot: I have 4 players battling it out for the strong safety spot, Tarvarius Moore, Talanoa Hufanga, George Odum, & Leon O\u2019Neal Jr., with Moore beijng my favorite to be the teams\u2019 new starting strong safety in 2022.<\/p>\n

        If the team decides to keep 6 wide receivers, I believe that the 2 with the best shot are free agent signees Malik Turner, & Marcus Johnson, with Turner being my favorite to win that potential spot.<\/p>\n

        The teams #3 tight end is another big question, they re-sign Ross Dwelley, Jordan Matthews, & Tanner Hudson, and added veterans Troy Fumagalli, & Tyler Kroft, & I have Dwelley as a lock as I don\u2019t see any of these 4 players beating him out, but it wouldn\u2019t shock me if someone does beat him out, or if the team goes with just 2 tight ends.<\/p>\n

        On the defensive line, there\u2019s a few camp battles in my eyes, first being the potential 6th<\/sup> EDGE rusher, with the competition being between Charles Omenihu, & Jordan Willis, with Omenihu being my favorite as of this moment, while Willis ends up on the practice squad.<\/p>\n

        The other battle on the d-line is the backup to Arik Armstead at the 3-Technique, with the 2 viable candidates being Kevin Givens, & Maurice Hurst Jr., with Givens being my favorite for this spot, while Hurst ends up on the practice squad.<\/p>\n

        If the 49ers keep 5 linebackers, I have the competition being between Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, & Jeremiah Gemmel, with Gemmel being my favorite to win the spot, if they keep 5 LBs.<\/p>\n

        In the secondary, the slot cornerback spot will be up for grabs, with the likes of Emmanuel Moseley, Samuel Womack III, Deommodore Lenoir, Darqueze Dennard, & Dontae Johnson battling, with Moseley being the guy who goes inside, with Ambry Thomas opposite Charvarius Ward.<\/p>\n

        And there you have it, my biggest camp battles as of now.<\/p>\n
