C Marcus Martin: This dude has not showed any promise since he arrived 3 years ago. He got a shot at a starting gig when Kilgore went down N he never took advantage of it. I'd rather take my chances with a rookie who will come in much hungrier like Balducci. Ive seen enough of Martin to know if Kilgore goes down the O-line will suffer bcuz of his play.
DT Tony Jerod- Eddie: Another player that for some reason keeps finding a way to stay on the 53 man roster he add absolutely nothing to the defense whether its run stopping or putting pressure on the QB. Ronald Blair would be an upgrade over this guy.
G Brandon Thomas: Just like Marcus Martin this guy seems not fit to play this game. Both came in with high expectations N both have dissapointed in a major way this guy was suppose to be a steal when we drafted him in the 3rd round, projected late 1st round early 2nd round pick never was the same after blowing out his knee. Dude does not deserve a roster spot.
T Erik Pears: We all saw how horrible this guy is last season doesnt matter what position he plays he add no value to this team whatsover. With Anthony Davis back N the selection of John Theus this guy is expendable. Not to mention he is also 34 already
RB Shaun Draughn: The late FA addtion darling of the Zone. Yes he played a decent roll last year after loosing like 20 backs to injuries, BUT what i see this guy lacks is explosiveness to hit the hole on a consistant basis he is not a bruiser between the tackels type of guy. This guy seems more a pass catching back rather than a complete package back like Hyde. I really think Dujuan Harris can fill the void with that #2 spot guy can run in between the tackles outside N can pass catch as well he can do it all. There is not enough room for with this guy if Kelly wants to keep his other young bucks like Mike Davis N Kelvin Taylor. This makes him the odd man out.
TE Vance McDonald: Alot of you are going to disagree saying this guy is still learning the game he is still young, yeah i get it, but in my mind we have better suited TE's to help out in the passing game as well in the running department. Both Celek N Miller can fill that void. Blake Bell is just getting his feet wet. With his 1st full season as TE under his belt i expect the kid to just get better as the season progresses. He can be that red zone target we have lacked for quite a while, back to McDonald his inconsistency to hang on to the football can really hurt the team through the year. I really dont see him being a legit starter let alone a contributor on offense unless we are going to run all day long N just forgo the passing game as a whole.
WR Jerome Simpson: His past problems off the field are enough to want this guy off the roster. 2nd he has never taken full advantage of his opportunities to become a full time roster 7 years in this league N has bounced from team to team since entering the league. Yes hes had a great camp but the above reasons are enough for us to just move forward another thing he is a FA after this season is over i dont think the Niner brass wants to extend this 30 year old player with baggage. If Kelly really wants to keep the youth movement going then he has to look the other way N just cut the guy. Young Cats like Smelter, White, Cajuste, Treggs are ready to advantage of making this squad.
OLB Corey Lemonier: How in the hell did i forget to add this worthless bum on this list. I guess its a big question mark like every year how in the hell does this guy continue to make the final roster.
Honorable Mention WR Quinton Patton
