DeMarco Murray

WillistheWall · 2011-01-14T03:19:32-08:00

What do you guys think about Demarco Murray? I'm a huge fan of this guy, he kind of reminds me of Ricky Watters. Keep in mind I'm a younger fan and I didn't see more of Watters than some random games on youtube and the 49ers america's game of 1994, and the superbowl he helped us win. But he runs really well, is a good athlete and he can catch the ball too. He can do a lot of different things. I know we already have Gore but he's not going to last forever. Obviously Murray wouldn't be the pick at #7 but I wish we could get him somehow. He is sick.

I've seen plenty of him. Every year you think he'll break out, then he gets hurt. His skill set is ideal for the WCO, but his durability is a huge concern. He could be a good gamble much like Gore was, but I wouldn't spend anything higher than a 4th on him.

Haha yeah that's true, always nicked up with some injury. But as part of a RB rotation where maybe he gets 10-15 touches a game, I'm aboard that boat. Set sail for championship.

Add me to the list.

I think the concern is whether he can be an every down back, which I dont believe he can. I do believe he can be one of the best third down backs in the league. Now what is his value and where should he be drafted. I'd say mid 2nd, but I think he'll go earlier than that.

I think if we wanted to move Gore for another pick or two DeMarco would be at the top of my list for RBs to draft. Talented and as you mentioned durability being an issue, we avoid pounding him up the middle and use Dixon for those plays.
Seeing how Sing had such a huge part in last years draft, 2 OL, an RB and a blocking TE, it wouldn't surprise me if Harbaugh took a long hard look at the backfield and sent Gore or Dixon out the door. If he could resign Westbrook and draft a younger "westbrook like" player I could see him keeping one power guy and shelling out the other.
