The 49ers’ unofficial depth chart was released Tuesday. It’s considered unofficial because the team’s communications staff compiles it. There’s some information to be gleaned from it and some interesting hypotheticals that arise, but the 49ers have the unique Jimmy Garoppolo situation which added a wrinkle of intrigue to that unofficial chart.
Garoppolo is included in the group of quarterbacks, but the club has him listed last behind Trey Lance, Nate Sudfeld and rookie seventh-round pick Brock Purdy. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, who said he spends zero time on the unofficial depth chart, offered a succinct explanation for Garoppolo’s inclusion.
