UDFA Jeffrey Wilson RB

Shop 49ers game tickets
A 5th is basically a 1st rounder for this team. I am guessing it's because Adam Peters makes the selections on day 3, and Kyle picks running backs and gadget players with 3rd rounders

Productive but I we want to beat the Bills/Chiefs, right? Am I missing something?

Let's Just hope the others can stay healthy so we won't have to go overboard with the usage of McCaffrey.

not really liking the idea of moving him with the uncertainty of Mitchell, and the high usage were gonna put CMC through. i thought we could of used Wilson to help spell them

They drafted TDP and looks like they like him enough to make the move

I think they believe TDP and Mason are ready for more work. And Mitchell coming back. I like the move tbh.

I think both of you are spot on with an and/or scenario here.

Wilson and CMC were dangerous when lined up together. When both came out of the backfield one was going to be open. Wilson was busting loose on runs and it seems as though he was running much harder than early in the season. I hope Mitchell is fully healthy because Wilson balled.

Don't worry we have Mason and Price who have hardly played in the NFL, and Elijah Mitchell who has been banged up....we're ready to go!

Jeff wilson was having a great season. Miami is building a powerhouse over there. They getting chubb too
Now watch Mitchell has a setback and CMC gets hurt.

The saving grace will be that we always turn 5th round picks into pro bowlers.

Still have Deebo
I don't think it's worth a 5th to not have Wilson as insurance, but I also get that it was a crowded RB room with Mitchell coming back.

Just sucks that we play him and all the ex-49er Dolphins in just a month. We know how that often goes.

Just gotta think about it as CMC/5th in 2023 for Wilson/2nd 2023/3rd 2023/4th 2023/5th 2024. Definitely a deal I would have made.

+Mitchell coming back soon.

That's the big take away.

Yeah, the revenge players have all gotten revenge this year on us. Good point.

I don't know what we have in Mason and Price. I do know that we let two good backs exit in Mostert and Wilson.

I see this trade as a vote of confidence to TDP and/or Mason. I hope it's not thinking Eli is good to go and will be healthy for the rest of the season, that would be naive.

I actually like what I have seen from TDP in the limited reps he has gotten. Mason I am not sure about because we have only seen him get 1 carry this season. But it did go for 7 yards. I think it's pass blocking that Kyle doesn't trust with them yet.

5th rounder = 1st rounder for the 49ers.
We weren't keeping 5 RB's, Wilson was an UFA after this season and we weren't keeping him. We got something for him while we could and we can never have too many 5th round picks.

Good luck to him, hope he goes well.
