Today we continue our 9-part series of ranking the 49ers roster, from 1-90, and today we are at 60-51.<\/p>\n
2021 Cap Number: $850,000
\nChance At Making Active Roster: 50\/50<\/p>\n
Analysis<\/strong>: Johnson is a guy that the 49ers seem to just keep bringing back, whether it was under the Jim Harbaugh\/Trent Baalke era, or now under the Kyle Shanahan\/John Lynch era, and while he hasn\u2019t been the best player, he did show he can be a solid backup, especially at the slot, so if the 49ers decide to keep 6 cornerbacks, Johnson is the likely that player, if not, he’s likely to be on the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: Analysis<\/strong>: With the injury to Tarvarius Moore, it opened the backup free safety spot, which should come down to Mayden, Tony Jefferson, & Tavon Wilson, Mayden is likely the longshot of the 3, but I expect Mayden to at least make the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $1,244,118 Analysis<\/strong>: I have Harris as pretty much being a lock, unless he doesn\u2019t look good in training camp, and preseason, with someone like Tavon Wilson potentially taking his roster spot, but Harris provides versatility that Wilson doesn\u2019t, that being the ability to also play linebacker.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $850,000 Analysis<\/strong>: The 49ers traded for Willis last year when they were desperate for EDGE rushers, and while he wasn\u2019t impressive, he wasn\u2019t bad, but the issue is, he\u2019s been suspended for the first 6 games of the 2021 season, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if the 49ers decide to keep him, or cut him, wait the 6 weeks, and re-sign him after his suspension is up.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $660,000 Analysis<\/strong>: Jennings has said to have looked really good during the 49ers OTAs, and he\u2019s one of those guys who had the difficult 2020 offseason do to COVID-19, but I do think Jennings has what it takes to be a contributor, potentially as a slot wide receiver, but we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $939,143 Analysis<\/strong>: I really liked James when the 49ers drafted him as a 7th-rounder out of Middle Tennessee State, but since then, he\u2019s only shown flashes of being a good slot WR, and since taking over as the teams Punt Returner, he\u2019s had a muff in the Super Bowl, and he lost one in 2020 that led to points, so I can\u2019t justify saying he\u2019s a lock, he needs to prove he can be consistent, because the 49ers only have 2 wide receivers they can trust, Brandon Aiyuk, & Deebo Samuel.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $825,258 Analysis<\/strong>: I really like Woerner, I think due to the odd 2020 offseason, he just didn\u2019t have the chances needed to be ready to be thrown into playing his rookie year, and while I have him as a 50\/50, I do think he makes the roster, but he will have to improve on his blocking, which is something he prides himself on, so if he does that, he\u2019ll be a lock for the 2021 roster.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $780,000 Analysis<\/strong>: This one sucks, because he\u2019s my highest rated player that I don\u2019t have as a lock or even 50\/50 to make the roster, mainly due to the fact that there are 4 backs ahead of him, so hopefully, baring injuries, he\u2019s brought back to the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $900,000 Analysis<\/strong>: Like with Mayden, Tavon Wilson will be battling for the backup free safety spot, but also he will battle with Marcell Harris for a backup strong safety spot if he doesn\u2019t get the backup free safety spot, if not, he\u2019s definitely a practice squad candidate.<\/p>\n 2021 Cap Number: $850,000 Analysis<\/strong>: Jefferson will be battling with both Jared Mayden & Tavon Wilson for the backup free safety spot, and he should be looked at as the favorite for that spot.<\/p>\n59.
