Aww shucks gosh darn it!!!

what will we do without him?

Also, good luck Jarryd Hayne, but no way you're even touching the competition at this point.

I like this kid. Got some skills. Seems like a Frank Gore type. Wasn't realky flashy yet a good smart runner

He was the next best RB on the board outside of Ajayi, but with the new news about Ajayi and how he may never play beyond his first contract, Davis would have leapfrogged Ajayi on my board.

Love the Davis pick. Good, patient runner with nice vision and great pass catching ability for a bigger back. Just needs to keep himself well-conditioned, but he has starter traits.

Some good inside linebackers we are passing on

nope lol

Maybe the players on the board aren't good enough to start over or challenge the players we already have.. BPA is always the way to go IMO

Exactly. No point of drafting "need" if the evaluated, remaining talent can't even beat out the current starters. You can never have too much solid depth in the National Football League

So out of this whole draft, there isn't one CB or ILB that are better than ours, or will be? I find that really hard to believe.

Finally a pick we can agree n be happy about. I just hope we finally got a RB from South Carolina that will actually stick around n wont retire on us.

Natural hands, quick feet, rare explosiveness. Complete back! @MikeDavisRB @49ers

He is a Hearst clone.

Excellent pick. Last 3 picks have been pretty pretty pretty good.

- Effective jump cut and stop-start move to make penetrating defender miss in backfield
- Shows a second gear

- Keeps momentum forward and runs behind pads
- Tough to bring down when he has momentum behind him
- Consistently drops his pads before entering crowd, and is strong enough in lower body to drive forward for extra yards
- Effective spin move.

- Soft hands on screens thrown high and away

ESPN´s Take

Davis possesses a well-rounded skill set. At 5-9 and 217 pounds, he runs with a low center of gravity and has quality power as an inside runner. Davis also shows very good patience and vision as a runner and brings versatility as a receiver in the passing game.

True, but we can only make one pick. They must feel very high on Michael Wilhoite as a starter and NaVorro Bowman's recovery. We still have three rounds to go.

Absolutely love this pick.

Yeah baby!
