With McDaniel here, who’s our RB next year?

Some to consider in the draft ...Spiller, Hall, Robinson, Cook, Walker. There's a sleeper on BYU. Can't remember his name.

I go back and forth between Spiller and Hall. Spiller might be the most complete. Hall will grind out yards. Robinson reminds me of Dillon in GB. Cook is the younger brother of Minnesota's back. He looks like a receiver catching the ball.
 
Barkley would be a great pickup - I'd also look into getting Foreman from the Titans. That guy is a beast. Derrick Henry clone.
 
The 49ers run game started 4 RB's, Deebo had a lot of carries, and Jimmy G and Lance both had 38 attempt. He's creative in how he generates solid team rushing numbers.

He does like a 3 down back though. Mitchell had some big games that went largely unnoticed because of Deebo.
 
I don't think there is anyone on the same level as Henry, at least not solely from a running standpoint.

Barkley? Like to have him, but it would really depend on the contract he would be looking for. He hasn't exactly been a "workhorse" type back the past two seasons.

However we approach it, we need a "between the tackles" power back.

Robinson would fit that. I think he's late 2nd, early 3rd depending on when the run starts for backs. Hall would work as well. He does everything pretty well.

I like the combo of Robinson and Cook, partly because I think Miami could use the top two picks for other needs.
 
I'm not sold on the power back prerequisite. An every down back, sure, but a power back takes a lot more hits and are therfore more likely to be injured. I like a power back, who can catch, as well. He'd be a rotational guy though.

What's up with Doaks?

Bigger guys, with "vision", and that kind of scoot don't grow on trees. Would love to have one, just not sure how realistic.

McDaniel said himself his #1 priority for RBs is speed. Now whether his vision for the Fins offense is the same as it was is another story...

Do you know off hand who are the fastest rb's in this draft? Spiller, Cook, someone else?
