San Francisco 49ers: Predicting Cornerback Depth Chart for 2016

The 49ers have 10 cornerbacks competing for roster spots in 2016, here we look at how the depth chart will likely shake out ahead of the new campaign.

Cornerback is a problem area for the San Francisco 49ers going into the 2016 season. Defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil may have 10 players competing for roster spots, but with the inexperience the Niners have at the position, deciding on a final depth chart promises to be a difficult exercise for Chip Kelly and his staff.

Three of the players vying for a place on the 53 are rookies, while Marcus Cromartie and Chris Davis are practice squad guys pressed into service in 2015 because of injuries.
