49ers training camp: Re-projecting cornerback depth chart

The San Francisco 49ers cornerback position had a few questions entering training camp. With the picture a bit clearer, Niner Noise offers up the latest depth chart predictions for this group.

Cornerback is a bit of a mystery for the San Francisco 49ers heading into the 2017 season.

Aside from No. 1 corner Rashard Robinson, the Niners have a number of different competitions and options to round out the depth chart.

Robinson is a clear-cut starter, and that’s just fine. But the remaining spots at this position were completely up for grabs, and it wasn’t as if San Francisco had legitimate starting material opposite the second-year pro.

Two weeks into training camp, we’re starting to get a clearer picture on how this roster turns out. A number of players have started to separate themselves from the competition.

So, in this slideshow, we’ll break down the latest cornerback depth chart projections for Week 1 this season.

First, here’s the list of cornerbacks on San Francisco’s roster (* denotes rookie):

• Adrian Colbert*
• Will Davis
• Zach Franklin*
• Prince Charles Iworah
• Dontae Johnson
• Keith Reaser
• Will Redmond
• Rashard Robinson
• K’Waun Williams
• Ahkello Witherspoon*

Let’s assume the 49ers keep five cornerbacks on their 53-man roster. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the only true shoo-in at this position, Robinson.
