So... RB in the 1st or 2nd round

[Trench Knife]

We have glaring needs at OL, LB and WR... but McDaniel builds his offense on a power running game, and our RB's are trash!

Thoughts on Walker, Hall or Spiller in the first couple of rounds?

 

[FinPhan54]

McDaniel had a 6th rounder as his leading rusher this year

Shanahan's have a history of mid round RB's going for 1000 yards

Devonta Freeman was the RB on the ATL SB team (round 4)


As much as I would love Kenneth Walker, I think we are more likely going to take a RB late day 2, early day 3

 

[Kamelion4291]

Shanahan never prioritized RB either.

 

[Mike McDaniel]

McDaniel and Shanahan made studs out of undrafted free agent RBs. Much like Shanahan's old man in Denver in the late 90s, the system is more important to producing yards than the player

I suspect they might like Spiller in round 2. I think he brings a style they will like. Let's see what he runs at the combine.

Doaks!

The most important thing is the O-line and scheme. Our guys are capable of producing if they have holes the size of trucks for them.

 

[Orange Fin Bad]

I would have done that last season for Harris, but I don't see spending high picks on RB.

I would like to see 4 RBs on the roster next season. One of them should be Duke Johnson. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting 1 or 2 and bringing in a proven vet that McDaniel believes is a good fit as a FA. Would also not oppose keeping Gaskin as one of our 4 RBs.

 

[Finsup4ever]

Jerome Ford day 3

 

[circumstances]

Spend some of that free agent money on a proven stud and save those valuable high draft picks.

Who's available?

 

[silver McNibblets]

Breece Hall is RB1.

Would absolutely re-sign both Duke Johnson and Phil Lindsay.

 

[where's th'fish]

Here we go again. The running wasn't working, so we pick up a couple of street free agents and things change dramatically. Obviously what we learned from that is that we definitely need a first round RB.

Nope. 1st round RBs are for contenders looking for an edge. They're terrible for middle-of-the-pack teams or whatever we are.

 

[Dolphin Mule]

Doaks!

Let's at least see what he can do.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I would say 2nd or 3rd round. Watching a lot of SF games, their running backs are very instinctive. They see cutback lanes etc.

So, who are the most instinctive backs in the draft?

 

[-81- McMichael]

Breece Hall is RB1.

Would absolutely re-sign both Duke Johnson and Phil Lindsay.

Him or if we want a bruising 1st and 2nd down back then Kenny Walker from Michigan State. Not sure of his pass blocking skills or catching skills though.
