Late round RB's

Mostert is amazing, but is close to 30. Wilson and Hasty have shown flashes, but haven't struck me enough to feel confidence if they have to carry the load.

So RB is a need, but have other bigger ones to fill in early rounds. Unless an elite talent like N.Harris falls to the 49ers second pick.

What quality RB would you want in rounds 5/6/7, that could be #2 in Shanahan's offense ?
Lets not forget Wayne Gallman. That signing allows us to not draft a RB at all, and instead make some UDFA calls. I think you are more looking for a guy that could make the team. Maybe a special teams contributor. Someone like Jake Funk. Or a guy with huge upside. I'd take the uber athletes like Eli Mitchell and Nwangwu and try to see if we can develop another Mostert.
Jaret Patterson, Buffalo (5th-7th round)
Khalil Herbert, Virginia Tech late 5th early 6th
I hope Chuba Hubbard falls to us in the 3rd

This. I'd even go him in the 4th

This, he has star potential and would fit our run scheme perfect.
Kene Nwangwu, Iowa St
This guy had the fastest 40 of any RB. He's pretty stout as well at 5-11 220.
Jaret Patterson, Elijah Mitchell, Demetric Felton, and Chuba Hubbard.

This and this. I would draft both of them. Herbert in the 5th, Nwangwu in the 7th, let them compete for spots. Nwangwu could start out as a special teams gunner, he's got the speed and physicality for it before eventually stepping into the RB rotation, much like what Mostert did.

At RB you'd have Mostert, Wilson, Gallman and Herbert.
Khalil Herbert is my vote
These are a couple more I am watching

Jermar Jefferson RB Oregon State - was one of their meetings

Pooka Williams RB Kansas - has some off field issues though
Zonovan Knight
NC State, 5'11/210 lbs
I like this kid in late Day 3! Reminds me of last year's Javonte Williams.
Pros:
- Great Vision!!
- One cut north-south runner
- Good Balance with some Power
- Patient Runner
- Rarely gets taken down on first contact
- Shifty (jump cut is impressive)
- Great Burst, Accelerate Quickly
- Underrated Receiver (Good Route Runner)
- Kick Returner

Cons:
- Lacks Breakaway Speed
- Runs a little high sometimes

Herbert and Mitchell instead of Sermon and Mitchell sure would look nice
