Post-draft 53-man roster projection: How many draft picks make the roster?
Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesThe NFL Draft is behind us. We have a better idea about how the 49ers roster will look as we’re a couple of months away from training camp. It’s the beginning of May, but that won’t stop us from making a prediction on who will make the 49ers 53-man roster come Week 1.
Quarterbacks (3) - Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, Sam Darnold
Kyle Shanahan won’t put himself in another position like the NFC Championship in the event of an unforeseen injury, so he’ll make sacrifices at other positions.
The 49ers rolled with three on the active roster to begin this season last year, and 2023 won’t be any different with Purdy and Lance’s inexperience.
