Of course Hill can always line-up in the backfield and fill that home run rushing threat role as well.

Exactly! We needed Kamara or Marlon Mack. Here we are still just plodding along 10-15 yards at a time.

If he can get 10-15 yards a pop, that'd be a massive improvement. You only rely on an RB being a "deep threat" when your QB is lily-armed Alex Smith. With Mahomes, you already have the ultimate "home run threat".


Kareem Hunt is quicker through the hole than Ware, making him an improvement day one. Solid pickup for KC

To me, this pick is for Alex Smith.

This team needs a guy right now that can move the chains and keep drives alive.
Alex Smith can not consistently do that.

This kid, on third and short, might be able to do it.

I just watched all those videos. He is very unique. Everything that has been said about his balance, vision, quickness through the hole, etc. is all true.

I laughed out loud while watching the "Draft Day 2017" video. At about the 7:50 mark he is sprinting to the goal line but is about to be caught from behind just before he scores. But he senses the defender closing in on him and uses a reverse stiff arm to secure his way into the end zone.

For that reason I'm not concerned that he doesn't have top end speed because his awareness more than makes up for it. Seems like he has a bag of tricks he can use to pick up those extra yards. He looks like a heck of a football player.

Watched a bunch of film on him. Impressive ball security and runs like Frank Gore. Unless West really steps up his game, Kareem will be the split carry back with Ware before the season is over.

That was my Hunt comparison. Frank Gore.

What successful QB hasn't had RB(s) that could move the chains? ROFL

You heard of Marshawn Lynch? Pierce/Rice? Blount/Lewis ? Freeman/Coleman? Anderson/Hillman? Frank Gore? You check out how dominant that Panthers run game was in their SB quest?

We just witnessed Ware/West take a nosedive in efficiency (5ypc -> 4pc) total TD's went to less than half what they produced in 2015.

You think Dorsey is going to stand pat with that? Common sense.

The more I watch, the more excited to see him play. I was big on Joe Williams as a late round pick but this guy is much, much closer to game ready than him. Ware/Hunt are going to punish linebackers.

You thought we should draft Joe Williams in the 3rd round, you ****ing reerun.

TigeRRUppeRRcut 04-30-2017 12:15 PM

Niners traded up to snag him in the 4th. In any normal draft not stacked with RB's, he would've been an early 3rd. The upside on Joe Williams is impressive.

This pick is receiving praise all over the place, pretty much everything I'm seeing around the net is calling him a starter
