Agreed. Don't think we will have to give him as much due to not being in a bidding war

Agree and he is already the top paid FB in the league.

Interesting post.

Maybe they can find someone to groom behind Juice?

Thing about these types of players, they can usually be found later in the draft.

Maybe Jeff Wilson Jr can be that guy...No need to look for him in the draft

Right now, I see him as a runner only. But it would be pretty wise for Wilson to pick up that position. He'd pretty much secure a spot here longterm.

This.

Juice is hands down the best fullback in the league. The only thing I worry about is how much longer he'll be able to do it. Dude has had a ton of concussions.

Not a bad idea to look out for someone to spell him/eventually replace him.

Alec Ingold was someone I suggested the 49ers target as a possible replacement for Juice in the future.

Unfortunately, he got picked up by the Raiders and is having a strong season.

Agreed. Need to at least explore the options for sure

Fullback is not a popular position in college offenses. The best option is to take a TE and make them into a FB. It will be easy to find a good blocker but not one that also can run and catch.
