I think we just need to realize we are going to draft a RB every year in rounds 3-5 and none of us will be happy about it.

The 49ers run their backs into the ground and spit them out after a couple years.

This pick is literally admitting Sermon was a bust. I guess I like that they are admitting it, but man, we're using high picks on these guys...

That's not the worst part. The worst part is we didn't learn our lesson in terms of picking the correct scheme fit. At least Joe Williams looked like a solid zone runner.

Also he would have been there in rd 4, why take at #93?

And Sermon couldn't make it on to the field as a rookie. This is clear that they don't have a lot of faith in him turning out to be anything so they are investing in another BIG back.

So, the answer was to reach for a RB who looks as slow as Sermon, has ball-security issues and can't pass protect?

So why not get an OG because Banks did s**t

He's like Walsh, except Walsh wants a QB every year. Shanahan picks RB

We had 6 listed visits with RB and we reach for this guy instead. Makes me a little curious. Was he always a target, did we change our mind late?

Our other two were guys had visits with.

This feels very "out of left field" so not really sure what to think.

its rounds 3-5 where 5% of the picks have long careers

drafting a RB makes sense imo that way you never pay for that 2nd contract and stay young and fresh at the position

Is this guy not worth the pick? I don't know anything about him but I know the niners lose at least 2 running backs every year

I don't mind the pick at all, especially since our RB's seem to always get hurt. Now we can roll with Mitchell-Wilson-Sermon-Davis Price as our 4 RB's on the 53, and put Hasty on the PS.

It's next to impossible to justify this pick in the third. This is a theme for this regime—selecting players that they fall in love with well before they need to.
