With the first two weeks of the preseason in the books, it\u2019s time to take a look at what players have impressed me the most, and which players didn\u2019t impress me.<\/p>\n

First the 5 who have impressed me the most.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WR Ronnie Bell \u2013 Bell had a great game Saturday night, with 7 receptions for 114 yards, along with a nice kick return, he\u2019s shown great speed, and really, in my opinion, has locked up a roster spot.<\/li>\n
  2. LT Ilm Manning \u2013 The UDFA Manning has played well, not getting thrown around, unlike other offensive lineman on the team, he\u2019s handled himself well, keeping up in both pass protection, and run blocking, he has an upper hand at making the 53 as a backup tackle\/guard.<\/li>\n
  3. MLB Jalen Graham \u2013 The 7th<\/sup>-rounder out of Purdue has really shown a nose for the football, getting in on several tackles, and forcing a fumble, there\u2019s no way I see Graham passing waivers.<\/li>\n
  4. SLB Dee Winters \u2013 Winters, the teams\u2019 6th<\/sup>-rounder has also been good, on special teams, and defense, and like with Graham, I just can\u2019t see Winters clearing waivers.<\/li>\n
  5. CB D\u2019Shawn Jamison \u2013 Despite his muffed punt return Saturday night, he\u2019s looked really good thus far, he has such great speed, and has played both outside corner, and in the slot, I think the 49ers found a gem in Jamison, a UDFA out of Texas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now 5 players who just haven\u2019t impressed me.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. LG Nick Zakelj \u2013 Zakelj, a former 6th<\/sup>-round draft pick in 2022 just isn\u2019t really playing well, getting pushed around, I just have a hard time seeing him making the final 53, he\u2019s been that bad in my eyes.<\/li>\n
    2. DT Javon Kinlaw \u2013 Kinlaw really hasn\u2019t been impressive, he missed Saturday\u2019s game due to an illness, and he really should be a trade candidate, but due to his salary being fully guaranteed, I doubt he doesn\u2019t make the team, as the reports were he slimmed down, and has had a good camp.<\/li>\n
    3. SLB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles \u2013 I know he was given time with the ones this past Saturday, but for someone who was given $1.25 million guaranteed, he just doesn\u2019t look the part.<\/li>\n
    4. CB Isaiah Oliver \u2013 The 49ers gave Oliver over $2.9 million guaranteed, but he\u2019s failed to look like the player he was in Atlanta, where he was the 6th<\/sup> ranked cornerback in run defense, he just doesn\u2019t look good out there, he could be a cut, or trade candidate.<\/li>\n
    5. FS Myles Hartsfield \u2013 Another key acquisition by the 49ers this offseason, a Steve Wilks guy, just hasn\u2019t looked the part, sure he has had some nice plays, but other than that he\u2019s a liability in coverage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
