Better start looking for a FB | Page 3

Now that we're returning to the true WCO we're going to need a FB that can do more than just run into linebackers especially in seeing how harbaugh used Maecic at Stanford. Any thoughts on any potential free agents or draft prospects to find our next rathman or will Floyd? As far as I know Leonard weaver s the best WCO FB now and he commanded a huge salary.

Eagles might be releasing him, or would trade him for a 5th, best WCO FB in the league. (LOL, he ran all over us in Singletary's coaching debut against Seattle!)

LOL we were all over him a few years ago

Besides Byham who is already on the roster. Here are the top 3 prospects from the Great Blue Draft Report:

Stanley Havili 6-0, 230 4.65 Southern California
Owen Marecic 6-1, 235 4.85 Stanford (LB)
Shaun Chapas 6-1, 245 4.65 Georgia

Havili is the most versatile and the best receiver out of the group. Marecic is good but not exceptional and Chapas is someone I know nothing about. Between Byham and one of these three, the Niners should have the position covered next year.

To be honest, i think he's good but he seems winded after playing on both sides of the ball!

This. Pro Bowl caliber FB..

This...

- 98

Remember when Rathman had 70 catches for the Niners that one year? I think it was '89.. Byham is capable of that in the WCO. Beef him up, work on his blocking, bigger shoulder pads lol

Yeah, I wants Marecic, he'd be more in tune to the system than any other (of course) from day one.
