My big concern with Lattimore is his running style. Whenever he changes direction, his legs go at a real low angle to the ground, which I think puts a ton of stress on his knees. That is to say, that his knee injuries aren't just freak injuries, but that it's a problem that may continue.

Sounds like the 4 time pro bowler running back we have. I bet Franky will teach him to run and protect himself. He got a year or two to learn.

Well, i was concidering that now that the Running backs can no longer duck their heads into the would-be tackler,that maybe,Just maybe, a more up-right style of running like Mr. L. has, won't be as bad...just a thought

This draft has just the right amount of sexy.

I'm kind of surprised that Baalke hasn't been more active trading today.

Swope's concussions have to be a big deal.

If the Niners pick up another WR, look for Tyrone Goard to be their selection. 6th round target.

How about Rodney Smith?

There goes AJ Klein

Manningham cut

I guess this means Harbaugh was not serious about Lockette. Oh noes...

Two zone favorites going down.

I HOPE that the WR group is loaded to the point where someone good gets cut. That's how you improve.

But honestly, I wouldn't mind carrying 7 WRs until we develop more of them. I want to have at least 4 guys that I KNOW are good. If that takes carrying 7 WRs for a while to sort out which ones are worth keeping, then fine.

I don't want to spend another offseason hoping undrafted guys and aging vets we just picked up will perform. I want to know who our guys are and what they can do as 9ers.

No way we draft another WR after the Patton steal. I think it was always going to be one WR in this draft, with Goard being the late rounder if nothing else came up.

CBS Sports give the Seahawks an A for the Jesse Williams pick...

Our safeties could easily come off the board before our pick.

If we end up with Poyer I will kiss Baalke's feet lol

Love Klien. Great pick

Nuts. Rams took McGee.

Lattimore is the next Frank Gore! We can afford to Redshirt him.

That is clearly their plan...put him on PUP list or IR for the year and have him fully recover. I would expect them to play Tank rather sparingly his first year so he can fully recover as well and ease into the league. Tank might make an impact in the playoffs though because by then, he should be healthy and relatively fresh. Both of these guys are going to have terrific mentors in J Smith, R McDonald, and F Gore.

Really, these are picks for 2014 and a way to stash away good players for the future.

Lattimore has a "never give up" mentality (much like Gore) and he really wants to make an impact in the NFL. Definitely boom or bust.

Kwame Geathers and Cory Grissom are pretty much the only NTs I wouldn't mind seeing in red and gold.
