lineup is coming into focus.

Christian McCaffrey leaves the run game alongside full-back Kyle Joshic, while Mike Evans, Ricky

Piersall, and Ricky DeJean Stribbling look strong.

At wide receiver.

George Kittle anchors tight end, unless he's banged up.

On the offensive line, Trent Williams, Jake Brendel, Dominic Pune, and Colton McIvitz

are mostly set, but left guard boils down to Carver Willis.

Versus Robert Jones, with Willis fitting the scheme well inside.

Defend shapes up Fierce up front, with Michael Williams, Osa Odidi Zua, Alfred Collins, and

Nick Bosa building a stout run defense.

Pass rush gets a speed boost from a mellow height sliding in.

Red Warner and Dre Greenlaw own minebacker, no real rookie threat there.

Cornerback turns into a battle royale.

Renardo Green, Deamaterl and War, and Upton Stout hold the spots for now, but new additions

like Ephesians.

Prysac, Jack Jones, and Nate Hobbs could shake things up under the new coach.

Safety goes to Malik Mustafa and G.A. your Brown, though depth remains thin without a

draft pick there.

safeties need a dime back option training camp will settle.

These spots and show which rookie step up big.
