# Brian Peacock: Peacock ranks the 49ers' top-100 candidates with Fred Warner now first ahead of Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams, expects all five to again make Locked On's NFL Top 100 (with Mike Evans added), and names Ricky Pearsall, Deshaun Stribling, Upton Stout and Dominick Puni as breakout candidates while projecting the receiver and running back depth chart.

13 checkable claims — 7 pro bowl and all-pro calls, 4 depth chart calls, 1 roster spot call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1.

> I really think this is the year where Fred Warner kinda becomes the number one guy
