They wanted to watch some Alabama QB throw to their new RB. In all seriousness, with the reports that they would have taken Clyde Edwards-Helaire at 31 last year, I could see them trading up for Harris or Etienne. They'll need to surround their new Schaub/Kirk with all the offense talent they can get. I would hope they've learned by now that they get more production out of UDFAs and cast offs than they do with high-dollar RB's. There much better offensive weapons available in the second than any of the RB's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coaching staff has shown they can turn UDFA RBs into good plug and play RBs. I am interested to see what they could do with a top level RB talent. Remember the early McVay-Gurley days before his knee crapped out? Niners could not stop him.... Edited April 9, 2021 by XScutterX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really took a look at him been focusing at QB, Corner and Edge. And if you think about it our running backs have been as injuried as Jimmy. Maybe Kyle is sick of it lol.

Forge Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Apparently we have met with Dazz Newsome. I like it. I think it's more likely we draft Shi Smith, but I like Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people can't come across selecting a TE with a top 5 pick, let alone doing so while giving up 2 more first picks. That would mean a larger return for Pitts than what was paid for Mack, Ramsey, Tunsil, Adams, etc. in the non QB category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we hadn't traded up to get Aiyuk last year, the pick was going to be CEH according to MM. Shanny can't help himself. Most people know my stance on running backs, but I really think that second round pick is going to be a weapon, and if Harris is there (I know Y2 like Etienne there) I'm......kinda........not.....mad at it? Like...I wouldn't be up in arms about it to be honest at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Jordan smith 3 cone was supposedly 7.8. that makes no sense, but that legitimately could make him undraftable. I haven't seen the number confirmed anywhere, but if so, yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I have this weird feeling that if he falls into the 25+ area, we are going to trade up for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Shanahan seems to believe he needs to have top talent for his running game to get even stronger instead of going the cheap route with late round/udfa pick-ups making it already good.

Going to be cool when both Harris and Fields competing for rookie of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
