1st-year 49ers who may not even play a single snap for San Francisco

No. 1: 49ers offensive tackle Matt Pryor
After losing Mike McGlinchey to the Denver Broncos in NFL free agency, the Niners seem content to give the starting right tackle job to one of their backups, Colton McKivitz, who won't have too much competition to secure the role out of training camp.
Unless another free-agent pickup, former Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle, Matt Pryor has something to say about it.
Pryor is an intriguing case. While he has long odds at upending McKivitz for the starting right tackle spot, the former could feasibly secure a swing-tackle role, and San Francisco needs someone to do that.
However, with a one-year deal worth up to only $1.13 million with zero in dead money, if cut, according to Over the Cap, Pryor's security with the 49ers is anything but guaranteed.
In Pryor's case, the landing spot is pretty wide. He has the remote possibility of starting over McKivitz but realisticaly being the primary backup tackle.
Or Pryor could be off the roster altogether as little more than an afterthought this offseason.
