# Brian Peacock: Peacock lays out their projected 53-man roster for the 49ers, position by position: three specialists, three quarterbacks (including Curtis Rourke), five running backs, six receivers (cutting Christian Kirk), three tight ends (cutting Braden Willis), nine offensive linemen, ten defensive linemen (with Mykel Williams on PUP), five linebackers, six cornerbacks and four safeties. They also predict a new player will take center snaps in preseason week three. **Claimed:** Aug 25, 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/54fe25d3-ee92-4327-a98d-ee10bec76be6/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c&awEpisodeId=54fe25d3-ee92-4327-a98d-ee10bec76be6&feed=P83yLSb_ 58 checkable claims — 51 roster spot calls and 7 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 56 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 44 of 58 have settled so far, averaging 84.1 out of 100, against 79.5 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > So there's my prediction for the forty niners tenth. Bosa, Sammo, White, Hite, Hosea, West, Collins, James Thompson Junior, the undrafted rookie, Grayson Holt from the fourth rounder, and Obo Okoronkwo with Michael Williams on public. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
