So
1/ Ward is counted on as starting CB until Dick is back 2/ JJ is not expected to make the team, otherwise they'd have signed Reid

Sounds like some insurance at SS in case Harris and James aren't fully healthy.

Wilcox, McKinnon, Breida.

We Georgia Southern Now! 60% of the players in the NFL from that school now play for the 49ers. Better start learning that Eagles fight song.

I won't be surprised if he makes the roster.

"215-pound safety with corner feet," Mayock described. "I think he's an immediate starter in the NFL, he can help you on special teams. This is a guy that I've really enjoyed watching." A running back/slot receiver his first three seasons at Georgia Southern, Wilcox moved to strong safety as a senior and was a first-team all-league pick by the Southern Conference coaches. He also brings to the table kickoff return value.
