# Brian Peacock: Peacock ranks the 49ers' top-100 candidates with Fred Warner now first ahead of Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams, expects all five to again make Locked On's NFL Top 100 (with Mike Evans added), and names Ricky Pearsall, Deshaun Stribling, Upton Stout and Dominick Puni as breakout candidates while projecting the receiver and running back depth chart. **Claimed:** Jun 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Brian Peacock — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/brian-peacock **Outlet:** Locked On 49ers (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-49ers-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/f9f75c/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c/episodes/95300864-bec1-4779-b382-084142c3aaca/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c&awEpisodeId=95300864-bec1-4779-b382-084142c3aaca&feed=P83yLSb_ 13 checkable claims — 7 pro bowl and all-pro calls, 4 depth chart calls, 1 roster spot call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1. > I really think this is the year where Fred Warner kinda becomes the number one guy *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **De'Zhaun Stribling to be 4th on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: De'Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Mike Evans to make Locked On NFL Top 100** - Kind: Pro Bowl and All-Pro Calls · About: Mike Evans, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trent Williams to make Locked On NFL Top 100** - Kind: Pro Bowl and All-Pro Calls · About: Trent Williams, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ricky Pearsall to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - “And in a list like this bread Warner one, he's my new number one here.
