And to listen to so many valuators, talk about the quality of the one he drafted, you have to believe this is a starting quality running back that can really be effective for us behind and alongside ETN. So I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to get a running back every year.

I also think you should always be churning your number three spot in the quarterback room. You should always have a jar on the shelf that you were developing. Obviously, we have one of the best quarterbacks in the league who is only going to get better. But what if he gets injured? you want to have competent back ups behind him. And you want to develop future trade capital with developmental quarterbacks.

I agree with this sentiment. Tank is here to push guys like Hasty and ofEarnest off the roster.

Keep the position young, cheap, and improving. It's odd considering how few people were confident in our RB not named Etienne this offseason, but there seems to be a bunch of huff about trying to make the room better.

I won't say take an RB every year just to say you did, but by no means should we be complacent about the RB that we had on the roster.

I get the idea and sentiment, but, with the 88th pick? That's a tough one there for me. He has to hit some impressive marks for me as a rookie to justify that. At least 175 total touches over the course of 17 games. This would average out to 10 opportunities per game for him to make something happen. 

I hope he comes out and kills it though. If he hits 800 yards of total offense off of those 175 touches and averages out 4.5 yards per clip? Not a bad deal I guess. Hopefully he hits 5+ TD's. My thinking though. With Strange being added, and clearly fitting that mold of H-Back with TE hands, and the blocking ability there?

We should see most of this RB group thrive. Should feel like last year's passing attack and philosophy meeting some of the things San Francisco likes to do from the backfield. Especially if Parish makes it and clears as an active FB on gamedays. 

That would be fun as hell man. Strange, Parish and any RB coming out of the backfield with the ability to fake some [BLEEP] and hit some nice underneath routes? I'll take that.
