My 2012 49ers 53-Man Roster and Practice Squad Prediction

Looks pretty good... and likely. Few nitpicks...

- Not sure Colin Jones makes it over Mike Thomas
- Not sure I'd trust Reuland to clear waivers (maybe bump off Cartwright to make room?)
- really starting to like Tyms over Palmer for the ps
- no Cam Johnson at least on the ps? (or ya think someone else snags him?)
- sure hope Ian W can slip waivers too

Looks good, and is probably realistic.

I would do the following.

Drop Tukufua- The team needs a run stuffy NT, Ian Willaims is the best purse NT of the back up. RJF, Dobbs can back up the 3-4 DE spots, Ian Williams is back up NT. I think Tukufua would be eligible for PS also. Just my opinion, Tukufua has not stood out to me this pre season.

I would keep Konrad Rheuland. I think he is the future #2 TE, why risk losing him. I would cut Kyle Williams to make room for Rheuland. Harbaugh is a TE not WR happy coach, Rheuland is needed.

I hope you're right about our three qb's

Not so sure I agree with having Rock Cartwright on the 53 man roster. I think LaMichael James will be the speedy break away RB. Who is gonna be your backup Center? Just in case anything happens to Goodwin. Overall a really good job Pat.

Really starting to like this DL idea. RJF can do a bit of NT anchoring and DE penetrating, but it may be best to get him down to 290-ish and keep him as a DE. He shows a nice burst and ability to get after the QB from the DE spot. Ian really looks worth keeping, and is as you say, more of a NT plugger. Tukuafu is not a bad DL, but I struggle to see making room on the 53 for him. I don't want us losing RJF, so I hope we have an extension planned out for him later.

Realistic.

I feel they keep IWillaims and send Tukufua to PS.

Oldman , Colin jones is a stud special teamer

I agree with cam Johnson , we keep him

Believe me, I know. I love watching # 43 running down returners. But.. if he really is as 1-dimensional as he seems to be? I don't know about keeping him over some other, more useful player. I'm sure we have other options that can sprint downfield in a hurry to do a close enough efficient job that Jones can do.

LMJ has shown nothing thus far to prove he can be an immediate impact, nor is ready/caught up with the speed of an NFL game (kid needs a year to get things together). -Looking at how limited/green/inexperienced we are at PR/KR, Rock is a 'lock' (specially with all the injury scares we could see at RB this year).

WR Nathan Palmer, Chris Owusu, and Michael Thomas will not see our PS. If we cut them they won't last a week on the street. Kourtnei Brown and Ian Williams might not either, but it's possible. Other wise good mock. Imma release mines after the 1st cut-downs. The 1st cut-downs will say a lot.
