    Not many Sanders ever. But last year I believe Peterson was still a good back with a long history even after his child spanking banishment.

    So never is a bit over the top IMO. Still with QB protection the top priority of the NFL the running back position is probably permanently diminished.

    The Carolina, Saints, and Dallas backs certainly provide evidence that talent will show itself.

    Looking more like a UFA each passing pick.

    Did he or Trey sign with an agent? Asking for a friend...

    Yeah I was using hyperbole when I said it but y'all understand what I'm saying right? Adrian Peterson got cut. Lenord Fournet got cut. Henry could be a hall of famer with Tennessee but if he ever gets hurt or even if his production slips I can see them cutting him and getting a younger back. RBs in the new NFL is an after thought now. Just above a safety/nickle back

    Do either of the two backs have an agent? If not, can they still return for a final year? Into round 6 and no pick and no reference to being top selections still out there. I thought Mitchell was considered the 4th or 5th best back to be drafted? What happened? Do they still go pro even if one of the last picks or return to play a final year if still eligible? We would be pretty formidable if they did and our success might make them more draftable. Just asking. I think I've only seen one SBC player drafted, a safety from App State.

    Well, 49ers just drafted Mitchell, so that answers my question, at least about him.

    I think you have to declare by a certain time frame. I would think once you declare you can't come back.

    To be fair Peterson was traded for more than production. His misguided excessive spanking made him a social disaster. Fournet didn’t live up to his draft hype. The QB has always been the most important player on most teams. They also are protected much better than running backs so their production generally lasts much longer than in the past.

    Mitchell a 49er.

    The railroad track was the tallest hill in Erath.

    Get ready for the hills of San Francisco.

    Talking heads from the mothership says great fit with Niners, with a chance to be a 1k yard back. That’s huge.

    Stay humble, grind and trust.
