49ers 53-man roster projection: The Niners should keep an extra lineman on both sides of the ball

The preseason is over. The 49ers have to get to 53 players on its roster before Tuesday at 1 p.m. PT.

The roster cuts should come pouring in throughout the next 30 hours. Until then, here is what I believe is the best 53-man roster San Francisco can field this season.

There’s no denying my natural bias plays a part in these decisions, and there’s risk rolling with youth at specific positions, but I’ll run those risks and bet on the young guys improving the more they play.

Quarterback (2): Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance

I think Kyle Shanahan breaks his tendencies here and rolls with two quarterbacks.
