But then we would be in the same asset allocation mess we just got out of. Sign one, draft another, and let Henry and Jones try to win the other spot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Am I the only one who would like to take a long hard look at Saquon if he becomes available? Adam peters went out and got McCaffrey and Ben johnson got gibbs last year. Having an electric back with good hands could potentially take a lot of pressure off a rookie quarterback. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe things changed for him but last year he supposedly wanted 14 million a year. for me even at 10 million a year, no thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a top receiver is considered more valuable than a running back and I also understand the durability concerns of a guy Taking that kind of abuse and also the longevity or lack thereof of the position but when above average receivers are making 20 plus million a year you'd think elite running backs would be worth 14. It seems kind of crazy to me not to take a gamble Where would the 49ers be without McCaffrey? 10 to 15 years ago when the drew Brees and Tom Bradys of the world were torching defenses for 5 touchdowns and 450 yards a game running backs became a dime a dozen but it feels like there's been a little shift back towards running backs being valuable again in the last 5 years or so, we'll see but if mclaurin is worth almost 23 million a year I say give Barkley 14 million, when healthy he's easily worth it.

Barkley is super overrated. He's been a bad pass-protector and doesn't run with toughness inside. He also has the injury history. Save the money and go with B-Rob and develop Rodriguez. Sign a cheap vet scat-back or draft one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Niners traded for CMac when they were already good and needed that last piece to get over the hump. We aren’t at that stage yet, so it doesn’t make sense to spend resources on him. Would rather draft a speed back in round 3 or 4. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac8887 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Is clowney a free agent at the end of the year? He has had a bit of a resurgence this year. It would be nice to have a proven veteran on the edge to go with our young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t intend to go crazy at other positions in FA and we have the $$$, he would be nice to have for the development of a young QB. Otherwise, if his signing were to eliminate say an OL or any other big position of need I would pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i just want to see some real blue chip playmakers so badly that I'm willing to overspend but it's likely not a smart decision. It's the reason I wanted Bijan robinson so badly last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, right now, I think we can still roll with B-Rob and take a pass cause he wasn't that far off in stats, at least for this past season. Saquon had 247 attempts, 962 yards, 6 TDs rushing and 41 receptions, 280 yards, 4 TDs compared to B-Robs 178 attempts, 733 yards, 5 TDs rushing and 36 receptions 368 yards, 4 TDs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I get the appeal of giving a young qb both a receiving weapon and a quality running game, but a rebuilding team signing a running back to a monster deal is probably a terrible move. I say probably because it’s possible he’s one of the outliers from what the analytics say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, this is a 2 back league. If it aint Saquon, we need another starter caliber RB. Whether it's Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler or whoever. Rookie RB class looks weak.

Thanks, that was the word I was missing. Homerun threat. We thought we were getting that with Gibson, but we only got that in his first year. I think BRob does great in the passing game, but he’s not a threat to take one to the house 1 minute ago, CapsSkins said: BRob-CRod-Scat Back is my plan for the RB room next year.

Also for the four teams in the conference championship games, KC is in the Super Bowl, they are a 1 back team, after Pacheco, the next leading rusher on the team is Mahomes. Baltimore, it's Lamar then Gus Edwards. 49ers, its McCaffrey. Detroit is Montgomery and Gibbs, the only team with two running backs in the top 20. So the argument that you need two featured backs cause it is a two back league is irrelevant, imo. Edited January 28 by HeHateMe75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were in the same game. His speed looked good on those plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle, Tenn, Clev, Clev, Balt. I don't see bringing him in on a one year deal helps us enough. Too many resources on an older one year mercenary is what you do when you are one or two steps from the big dance. I don't see Washington at that point for at least a year or two Edited January 29 by DWinzit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
