With the preseason in the books, the 49ers turn their attention to deciding who will earn a spot on the 53-man roster. Here we predict who will make the cut.

The San Francisco 49ers’ preseason is over, with Chip Kelly’s team winning two of their four exhibition games in preparation for the 2016 campaign.

San Francisco has looked largely improved in a number of areas, particularly on both sides of the trenches and figures to be more competitive than in 2015, when the Niners finished 5-11.

There are still a number of holes on the roster, though, which Trent Baalke will aim to minimize the impact of as he makes the final decisions on who makes the 53-man roster.

Here we project who will make the final 53.
