WR Austin Watkins Jr.<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $668,333<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Watkins, I believed had a chance at making the teams roster when the 49ers signed him as a UDFA out of UAB, but with other WRs showing up during the teams short offseason workout program, I think he\u2019s more likely a longshot, but he should be brought back to the teams practice squad, where they can develop him.<\/p>\n<h3>79. DT Kentavius Street<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $1,002,550<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: The former 2018 4th-rounder out of N.C. State, just hasn\u2019t been able to carve out of a role with the 49ers since he first played for the 49ers in 2019, where it seemed like the 49ers forced Street into the game to try and see what he could bring, but unfortunately he just hasn\u2019t shown much, whether it\u2019s due to effects of his torn ACL he suffered during pre draft workouts, or just something to do with the player, he\u2019s unlikely to make the 2021 roster, baring injuries to the interior defensive line.<\/p>\n<h3>78. DE Daeshon Hall<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $850,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Another player on the defensive line that likely won\u2019t be on the active roster, unless injuries happen, or in Hall\u2019s case, if the team keeps 5 defensive ends on the opening day 53, but his best bet is to be signed to the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n<h3>77. DE Alex Barrett<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $780,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Another player on the defensive line that likely won\u2019t be on the active roster, unless injuries happen, or in Barrett\u2019s case, if the team keeps 5 defensive ends on the opening day 53, but his best bet is to be signed to the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n<h3>76. FS Kai Nacua<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $850,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Nacua is more than likely destined to be on the practice squad at best, as the team has the likes of former UDFA Jared Mayden, and vets Tony Jefferson &amp; Tavon Wilson ahead of him.<\/p>\n<h3>75. CB Tim Harris Jr.<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $660,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Here\u2019s another defensive back that\u2019s best shot is to make the teams practice squad, especially when the 49ers invested 2 draft picks into the cornerback room.<\/p>\n<h3>74. WR River Cracraft<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $850,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Cracraft appeared in a few games last year for the 49ers, but didn\u2019t really show much, so he\u2019s definitely a longshot to make the teams roster, so his best chance is to be brought back to the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n<h3>73. RG Dakoda Shepley<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $660,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Shepley, who was signed last year, when the CFL canceled their 2020 season, spent all of 2020 on the 49ers practice squad, and Shepley provides a lot of versatility, being able to play right guard, as well as center, but I think with the team drafting 3 interior offensive lineman in the last 2 drafts, makes it more likely that Shepley ends up on the 49ers practice squad.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>72. C Jake Brendel<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $850,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: Longshot<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Brendel, a 2020 opt-out, is likely the teams 3rd or 4th string center, depending on where the team views Dakoda Shepley, as a guard or center, but Brendel\u2019s best shot is to show something, so the team signs him to the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n<h3>71. QB Nate Sudfeld<\/h3>\n<p>2021 Cap Number: $850,000<br \/>\nChance At Making Active Roster: 50\/50<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>: Sudfeld was brought in from the Eagles, and was guaranteed $252,000, but that number is the exact same number that Sudfeld would make if he\u2019s signed to the teams practice squad, as he\u2019ll battle with Josh Rosen for the teams 3rd QB spot, but if he is on the teams practice squad, the team will lose $252,000, as the team won\u2019t get that back until 2022.<\/p>\n<p>So with all of this said, I thank everyone for reading article, as always you can follow me on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/49erscap\">@49erscap<\/a>, or leave a comment below, and I\u2019ll get back to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so yesterday we started ranking each player, from 1-90, where we started ranking players&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4,6,3,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analysis","category-exclusive","category-prediction","category-roster","category-salary-cap"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":94,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
