49ers trade for RB Kapri Bibbs

We got Trent Taylor from that pick so...

Bibbs was insurance before the draft. If bibbs was still the top guy right now I would be really worried

You gotta look at the big picture, overall we gained more than we lost.

It was part of the deal that allowed us to get Adam peters to come to the Bay Area

If that was how we got Taylor it was a good deal. Man i like that kid, all 5'8" . Think amendola - like.

Agree wth that too, but blocked on his name. Thx ATT. Yup, that is the body size, hands and moves. Amazing at 5'8" a guy in NFL can actually catch passes. He belongs here.

exactly!

If Breada, and Williams didn't have it at this level, we would be saying how say that trade was. Last season we came to camp with Hyde, and a bunch of rejects, and losers. Hyde responded by being a little heavy, and being complacent in his starting role. We entered camp with a talented stable of hungry running backs, all who just might be capable of playing some snaps at the pro level, and Hyde responded by coming to camp lean, hungry and ready to go!

If Bibbs turns out to be nothing but camp fodder then, so be it, consider it cheap insurance, against the performance of Bread, and Williams. Either on of the rookies could have been a bust....but damn they looked pretty good last night!

Enough said.

TT is going to be a real weapon this season.

That's very small potatoes compared to the talent Lynch got in the draft and the UDFA's he signed...if that's your only beef against what JL did, it's a very small blip on the radar.

Pinion and Bibbs were playing keep away on the block punt recovery.

Bibbs might be a decent back but we might never know because of Williams, Breida, and hyde.
