Kareem Hunt was a pre draft favorite of mine and I would have preferred him over Wormley.

I like Wormley but you could see that selection coming from a mile. With Jernigan being traded and with the Harbaugh connection, I don't know, it always had a smack of nepotism.

It's unfortunate that there weren't many talented running backs or tight ends available in this year's draft class.

Bold predicc.

Terrence west rushes for 800 yards and wood head breaks 1000 scrimmage yards
Point of interest :
Terrance West had just over one thousand combined yards from scrimmage in 2016.
Surprised me to find he had thirty-four receptions.

It was considered elite at both position. I wasn't a fan of the RB class tbh but the TE class was the best in the last 10 years perhaps...

My only hope right now is that SF trades us Hyde for a 5th and he isn't injury prone with us and Roman turns him into an All Pro.

I know. It was an attempt at sarcasm.
Interestingly, Decosta suggested strongly that the team would have taken Dalvin Cook in round two, had he not been selected by Minnesota.

How in the world did I miss it, I'm an idiot.

its always difficult not to second guess the draft when things like this happened but jake butt and jeremy mcnicholls went in the 5th round - guys who would have made an impact on the roster given the injuries and while i like the siragusa and eluemunor picks its hard to see how they would improve the team at the moment more than those guys might have - but hindsight is of course 20:20

but now that we have these injuries its definitely not the time to give up yet more draft capital on a rb who probably wont start or be the number 1 receiving back - while it's not ideal, west is not a terrible 2 down guy and woodhead is maybe the best specialist 3rd down running back in the league so its not like we are dead in the water - as some have already said it will be the oline that makes or breaks this run game - the problem will be that we now have literally no depth at rb

but we can always hope that the conflicting reports mean that dixon will be able to boomerang off i/r at the end of the season to assist us in our playoff run to the superbowl :D:angel:
