Anthony Dixon, RB (6th round), 49ers
Once mentioned in the same breath as power backs Toby Gerhart, Ben Tate and Jonathan Dwyer, Dixon's draft stock plummeted because of subpar measurables. The 49ers scooped him up on the hopes he could develop down the road. But Glen Coffee surprisingly retired and Dixon has played better than expected.
Niners coach Mike Singletary demands power running and has been hard on Dixon, who's slated to back up Frank Gore and Brian Westbrook. He might do more than that, however. After rushing for 100 yards against the Colts, Dixon showed good downhill instincts and power in another solid effort against the Vikings.

That's my boy Pee Wee Dixon.
