You should check out Pierre Strong Jr. out of South Dakota State, a 5'11 207 lbs burner who runs a 4.38 with pads on. Has good vision and elusiveness. Can be had in the late 3rd to 6th rounds.

TY, I will take a look at his videos now.

I'm ok with this, I wasn't a fan of Gallman getting cut before last season.

I'd actually prefer him over Hasty and Sermon.

Way too early to give up on Sermon.

Pierre Strong Jr looks good but it also sounds like he's flying up draft boards after his combine performance.

No doubt, and I'm sure he'll receive plenty of opportunities next season to prove himself

not really. not fast enough for oz, not strong enough for power.

Nice farewell. Good-luck in Miami and don't rush your recovery. Thanks for the memories and highlights. You were fabulous.

Getting over this will take a while.

Welcome, glad you're impressed. Yeah, he's moving up, but should still be available at the Niners picks at #105 and #134.

But if not, there's other promising prospects out there.

Oh, I agree. There's always a back story. There's always a drama. Always a soap opera. I agree with you 100-percent.

I also agree that both John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are better than good at spotting RB talent through the draft or on the waiver wire, signing that talent and developing it.

That's why I'm not so worried about the loss of Raheem and the other free agent losses.

It begins with the contract disagreement two years ago. IMO, that had more to do with his leaving than the injury prob last fall.

Look, the whole point of my first and second post was the following:

Raheem Mostert was a NOBODY. He had been a Practice Squad and preseason player ONLY for YEARS in the NFL. If Kyle Shanahan had not signed him, nobody ever would have heard of Raheem Mostert. He would have been like hundreds of other no-name players who pass through the NFL and never get the chance to make a name for themselves. He had done ZERO in the league before Shanahan signed him.

What does Shanahan do for him? Besides signing him? He turns Raheem into a DANG star! Raheem WHO? Nobody had ever heard of this guy. He was an unknown who went from NFL roster to NFL roster, never getting the chance to make an impact. But what does Shanahan do? He gives him his chance. He gives him that shot to make an impact. He designs an entire rushing attack that's imprinted with the name FOR YOU, RAHEEM.

How many players get that kind of opportunity in the NFL? Taint many!

So, how does Raheem repay Shanahan for showing faith in him? For giving him a chance? HE HOLDS OUT FOR MORE MONEY! That's what he does. Raheem Mostert lost me after that. I was never in his corner after that. He bit the hand that fed him. Then he compounded the issue by contradicting Shanahan on the severity of the knee injury. Could it have been miscommunication? Maybe. But who are we kidding? If I'm Raheem Mostert, I don't let it get that far. I don't contradict the ONE and ONLY coach who gave me a chance. And I certainly DO NOT hold out for more money.

Raheem blew it. He wrote his ticket out of town. He stamped it.

I definitely will miss Mosert, but if he truely wimped out over the knee injury, then I can see why the FO didn't keep him. Good luck in MIA.

Yea he runs like Raheem and has a similar frame. I think he would fit great in this offense coupled with Eli Mitchell. I'm hoping we get reinforcements on the O/D line with our first few picks so as you said #105 or #134 would be a good spot.

Kyle's dad made a career of taking nobodies and turning them into RB stars. Kyle did it once here already. Let's see if he can make it a trend. Next one up.

he was good but demanded alot of money and was often injured.

It really is crazy how Raheem went from special teams player to one of the greatest wide zone runners ever.
