Is there really not a thread for this guy yet?! Dude is a stud who will come fairly cheap! He's looking for a bigger role and I think KS can utilize all of his talents! If we let Hyde go, I'd be all for seeing who comes out on top between him, Breida, Williams, and a rookie.

McKinnon isn't a probowl player that can demand such things.

I really hope Lynch and Shanahan go after McKinnon, he's got all of the tools to be a feature back. But I think there will be a bunch of teams requesting his services that I doubt Lynch would want to compete with.

Kid would be a dangerous weapon for KS! I hope they take the chance.

I think Crowell will be a better option but I am not opposed to either Lewis, Crowell, or McKinnon ( in that order).

Facts. But it looks like we are going after Lewis smh. I think the Garoppolo connection seals it

Lewis is the better pass catcher of the 3, something I think we value in our offense. Last season our RB's were awful in the pass game, led the league in drops and had some of the worst avg's.

If we get Lewis, then I'm convinced that they're all in on Joe Williams. I want McKinnon, but I don't wanna overpay for him.

Or they're just prepared to draft a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round
