Hightower signs with 49ers
 
Are we going to draft a RB?

Pretty sure we were going to draft one anyway. May not he till rd 3 though. Have a feeling the kid from Tennessee or NCST.

Thanks for all the effort Hightower, you ran hard and made sure you left everything on the field when given a second chance in the NFL.

I am think more power like Hightower

Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma 6011 226 4.50 #25 rSo
Alvin Kamara RB/KR Tennessee 5102 215 4.56 #6 rJr
Brian Hill RB Wyoming 6010 219 4.54 #5 Jr
Marlon Mack RB South Florida 5113 213 4.50 #5 Jr
Jamaal Williams RB BYU 6005 220 4.53 #21 rSr
Jones, Aaron RB Utep 5084 208 4.50 #29 rJr
Justin Davis RB USC 6005 200 4.54 #22 Sr

I really like Brian Hill at pick 103 since we do not have a 4th

Brian Hill RB Wyoming 6010 219 4.54 #5 Jr

He is flying under the radar for the most part. solid size and loaded with power. A one cut guy that is a much better between the tackles. He does have a great ability to break tackles, pick the correct hole and a nose for the first down. He gets those hard earned yards and create yards when there does not look to be a hole. Wyoming did not throw to him much. He stayed in to block a lot and developed into one of the best pass blocking backs in the draft. This is probably the reason he was used as blocker more than a receiver. The few times they did he look pretty natural catching the ball. But short yardage and goal line duties look to be his ticket into the NFL. Pass protection and blitz pick up skill set will keep the door open to expanding his role. (4 - 5)

This pick would be opposite of everything saint. I would give the kid a shot but history is against him in B&G

I would totally trade 1 and 32 to get LF. I know I will be laughed at more than when I said we would draft Ingram but so be it.

I was gonna go with scorned. But since I really dislike that pick a more than even Peppers, I'd say there's a real good chance that could happen....

I'll be sure to put in a real bad word with Sean when he calls me on the night before draft day.

That would be a stupid trade and not a good move in the right direction.

Best of luck to Tim! He epitomized all of the great aspects of Saints football: heart, soul and the perseverance to battle back when no-one else wanted him. Proud to have called him a Saint!

He played well and I'm guessing got offered a little more than we wanted to pay. Good for him
We have a bit of a carousel going at backup RB, but I guess that's the nature of the position.

Good luck to Tim. He ran hard and pushed Ingram last season.

Hope he stays healthy and productive in Niner land.

Can't help but wish a guy like Hightower the best of luck, even with my least my favorite team the 49ers. He played great for us and it was one hell of a comeback to overcome those injuries.

He has my deepest respect. He epitomizes perseverance. Good luck.

We do fine picking up RB off the street. Doubt we waste much

An excellent player for us and I wish him the best of luck for the future!

Sorry to see him go! :-(
