Why would we sign Moss, Manningham, and Brandon Jacobs only to trade them away before the season starts? Makes no sense.

All 3 will be on the final roster. Only person who is questionable is Moss and he only gets cut if he isn't even a shell of his former self.

Jacobs is our only power back. He will be the goal ine back.

my new projected 53 man now with draft done

QB- Alex Smith, Josh Johnson and Colin Kaepernick
RB- Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James and Brandon Jacobs
FB- Bruce Miller
WR- Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, Mario Manningham and A.J. Jenkins
TE- Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker and Nate Byham(Backup FB)
C- Jonathan Goodwin and Jason Slowey
OG- MIke Iupati, Daniel Kilgore, Joe Looney and Mike Person
OT- Joe Staley, Anthony Davis and Alex Boone

DE- Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, Will Tukuafu and Demarcus Dobbs
NT- Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean Francois
OLB- Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Parys Haralson and Darius Fleming
ILB- Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Larry Grant and Tavares Gooden
CB- Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox and Tramaine Brock
S- Dashon Goldson, Donte Whitner, C.J. Spillman, Trenton Richardson and Colin Jones

ST- David Akers, Andy Lee, Brian Jennings, Ted Ginn Jr. and Rock Cartwright

Close calls, but left off, Ian Williams and Cam Johnson, as a UDFA and 7th Round Pick they need to prove in camp.

Before anyone says anything about Jones and Cartwright, they should make it based on STs, they are aces on STs.

Based on this 53 man, the following would the 7 inactives, QB Kaeperick, WR Jenkins, C Slowey, OG Person, DE Dobbs, CB Brock and S Richardson.

I couldn't find a spot for Jenkins on 46 man, he won't be used a lot, unless Moss busts or is hurt.

QB- Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Josh Johnson
RB- Frank Gore, LaMichael James, Brandon Jacobs, Kendall Hunter
FB- Bruce Miller
WR- A.J. Jenkins, Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, Mario Manningham, Ted Ginn, Kyle Williams
TE- Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Nate Byham
C- Jonathan Goodwin
OG- Mike Iupati, Daniel Kilgore, Joe Looney, Mike Person
OT- Joe Staley, Anthony Davis, Alex Boone

DE- Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, Will Tukuafu, Demarcus Dobbs
NT- Isaac Sopoaga, Ricky Jean Francois, Ian Williams
OLB- Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith, Parys Haralson, Darius Fleming
ILB- Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Larry Grant, Tavares Gooden
S- Dashon Goldson, Donte Whitner, C.J. Spillman, Colin Jones, Trenton Richardson
CB- Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox, Tramaine Brock

ST- David Akers, Andy Lee, Brian Jennings

Like last year, 25 each to offense and defense
Kyle Williams and Ian Williams for Rock Cartwright and Jason Slowey
Inactives are underlined (7 plus 3rd QB)
Jacobs may be inactive in some games
Kaep will beat out Johnson based on experience in the scheme
James will the first RB backup
Jenkins wasn't picked in R1 to sit on game day. He'll be a starter IMO.
Front office may pick up a large bodied NT from other team cuts to replace I. Williams

Slot Jacobs under FB? You can "slot" players anywhere you want, but if they can't play the position - then what help would that be?

good god,, we are not trading away the wide outs we just signed in the off season.this is not madden and fantasy fb where we trade players for players, sheesh

Dixon and Williams are toast

Im guessing Moss and Jacobs get cut. Kyle Williams to the dismay of people who cant get past the NFC Championship will make it. Ginn will be the one the bubble depending on how LJ does in the return game. I say he probably makes it due to his punt returning ability.

i do not see ginn getting cut as no one who we drafted is better than he is right now . If one of the kids goes crazy in pre season, maybe,, but that is just a maybe.Dixon may be gone but if the jacobs signing lights a fire under him,, than he stays and brandon is gone. Williams may be gone but it will have nothing to do with the nfc title game. i always said if you can find a fourth wide out better than him, he will leave.

Why would we keep them if another player on the roster outperforms them?

Looks pretty good to me. We could probably stash Slowey on the practice squad. Maybe Cam Johnson too depending how he does in preseason. Dobbs will have to play like he did last preseason, if not better, if he wants to stick around. Ian Williams will have to definitely play better to make it.
Agree on the offense except maybe some of the inactives. I dont see Hunter ever being inactive.

so what happens on the OL?

Staley-Iupati-Goodwin-?-Davis

Kilgore. And he'll make everyone who wanted a guard in the first round feel silly.

So Looney will be the backup RG...who becomes the primary backup at C....Person or Slowey
