    2. Black has nice explosion and can squeak through tiny holes. Looks like his pass pro is the best in the class too. I think he has a chance to win #2.

    3. I don't see much after his initial explosion, and his pass pro is going to be hampered by his small stature in the NFL. As for his ability to squeak through holes, I think it was due more to the OL in front of him in college.

    4. I like Black. Powerful runner with good burst, and nice pop in his blocking. All those traits will translate.

      Main thing I don't love is he can be impatient. But that seems to be s consistent theme with the RBs Shanahan looks for.

    5. I think his power translates well at the college level but won't at the NFL level due to his size.

    6. No, but given he looks to be a one-dimensional back, I'd prefer that he was bigger.

  2. Shanahan all but confirmed Romello Height's multi-purpose role.

  3. If you are disappointed like me on the Black pick, I'm telling myself this:

    "We will get an UDFA RB who will get a 1000 yards. So don't worry." :)

  4. Overall I'd give day 2 a C for the 49ers. While I like Stribling and Black, can't ignore that this still feels high for both to me. Let's just say I don't consider either of them to be "value" picks. But, I do also think both guys will be 49ers through at least their rookie contracts, which is to say I think they are pretty high floor guys.

    Height was probably the best perceived "value" of the three, but I think also has the highest bust potential. Getting to play as an OLB/ edge hybrid could actually help him, and I would recommend Morris uses a lot of stunts to help him keep bodies off him.
