Oh... With that said, Harbaugh needs to retain Rathman as RBs coach. I'm sure Rathman and Tomsula are the ones Harbaugh will want to keep though.

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.
What about Hynoski From Pitt. He can run, block and catch. I read that Havili needs to improve on his blocking and Marecic needs to improve on his pass catching.

North Carolina TE/FB/H-back Zach Pianalto. Terrific receiver and a strong blocker. If not for an injury, he would've been in talks for being an earlier pick for teams looking for a new FB.
He should be available to pick with one of our four 7th round picks.

Could Brit Miller be brought back? He wasn't a bad blocker and was a pretty good receiver out of the backfield.

Why stop there? I wonder what William Floyd is doing.

i like the kid from USC (Havili) and the kid from UNC.. But i even like the fact that Harbaugh for an insurance just incase his "perfect player" gets drafted by another team..

That's my take on it. marecic is gonna be a Niner... But...just in case we need a 2nd. and/or 3rd. option.. I like the strategy too.. hey maybe we get 2 rookie FB's
