49ers waive rookie Jauan Jennings, announce other moves in roster cut-down
Most of the San Francisco 49ers' most recent draft class made it through the 53-player roster cut-down. The lone casualty was the team's seventh-round selection out of Tennessee — wide receiver
Jauan Jennings. Although, the rookie could land on the practice squad, should he clear waivers.
Below is a list of the team's roster moves as it worked to reach the 53-player limit.
Released or waived:
The 49ers also announced that they have waived/injured OL Ross Reynolds, activated WR
Deebo Samuel from the Active/Non-Football Injury List, and placed DL Ronald Blair, C
Weston Richburg, and DL Jullian Taylor on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Fowler: 49ers' draft moves could change plans for Jimmy Garoppolo

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is set to earn about $25 million this year. Whomever they pick at No. 3 overall will have a cap hit of about $6.2 million in 2021, per OverTheCap.com. If the gap between the two players isn't seen as great—and a lot of that may depend on actually getting the rookie into the building and seeing how fast he can progress—that could accelerate the plan to part ways with Garoppolo.
Maybe something happens before the draft. Maybe it happens during, after, or even next year. For now, the 49ers sound comfortable keeping Garoppolo around for another season while their rookie quarterback sits and learns. It's a prudent plan considering the roster is built to compete for a championship right now.
