You're not being a pain. I did miss that. My apologies. If that's the case, then they could indeed take a back. Let's look at the 49ers actions, then: Coleman is in the last year of his deal and has not been re-upped, McKinnon restructured per reports and goes through '21, Breida was granted a second-round tender just a few weeks ago, and Mostert just singed for three years at $8.7 million in late January with one million signing and three million guaranteed. Jeff Wilson was retained (I thought he'd been released, but he wasn't).
Does that sound like they're drafting a back as an organizational philosophy? More importantly, do Dobbins and Akers look better to you than Tevin Coleman, McKinnon, Mostert, Breida, and Wilson?
I'm not sure. I'm at least skeptical. They're all dispensable commodities the way their contracts run, but that's the rub: Do the 9ers want to commit capital to the backs or the lines and the edges? League and club trend goes towards dispensable contracts for RBs, investment in other areas. It depends, I guess on what salaries demand in the second round. If they're in keeping with these contracts, then I can see it.
