RB Brian Robinson Jr. - SF (1 Viewer)

I know he is Bill, but how do you pronounce it? Jackery, JaKorry?

 

[menobrown]

Washington took on some of the salary to move him

This makes a lot more sense to me now.

Niners must like guys who get shot.

Totally forgot that angle.

Once they fill their punch card they get a compensatory draft pick

Maybe but I don't think they can bank on a comp pick for what he likely gets in FA next year vs anyone they might sign. Probably best case of a 7th IF they don't sign someone who cancels him out.

I think this trade shows that handcuffing isn’t always a guarantee unless it’s a guy like Charbonnet. So many backfield depths charts in flux.

Or draft on the Wednesday before the season starts lol

Hes better than he’s perceived right now. Im buying this low.

 

[FarFromHome]

Gonna be super hard to buy low right now due to ego. Lots of drafts are over and lots of owners spent a 7th to 9th round pick on him. Ego won't allow them to dump him for your wr5. Too soon.

 

[Wingnut]

Nice value move

Per Spotrac, the Commanders will retain $1.25 million of Robinson’s $3.406 million salary in 2025. Washington incurs a dead cap of $1.53 million in 2025, while the 49ers will pay Robinson $2.156 million this season. It’s essentially a one-year deal for Robinson, who is an undrafted free agent in 2026.

With the land rush for Bill, Ekeler is a late round target for me now.

Of everyone, he seems to be the one with a solid role.

Both my leagues haven’t drafted yet, I’m buying him way low.

 

[Ahmad Rashad]

I got him for the minimum $1 in an auction draft on Monday when everyone knew he'd be traded away. I also got CMC, so now have his handcuff for cheap.

https://x.com/nwagoner/status/1959473706125939021?s=61

Interesting. Given that he was trading for a 2nd before this mess, I wonder if his value is kind of unchanged as an important handcuff?

 

[fatness]

"We brought him here to be our two back," Shanahan told reporters in a press conference after Saturday's preseason finale. "Always been a big fan of Brian. Loved him coming out of college. He's done really well going against him and we were pumped that he was available and we were pumped that we were able to get him.”

Signs of the depth chart shift were clear in Saturday's game when Guerendo was playing special teams in his preseason debut. If he's going to be active on game days behind Christian McCaffrey and Robinson, it's going to require special teams contributions. Guerendo played 124 special teams snaps last season and that appears to be what his primary role will be with the rest of the 49ers' RB room healthy.

Brob lost the RB3/4 floor in Washington, but he gained a higher ceiling if something were to happen to CMC. Brob is better than Mason, and we saw how he did in SF's offense.

I agree with you Mason is a more powerful RB a d pretty sure his career numbers are better then Robinsons

Plus he got traded and then instantly got an extension. He wasn't given away because he wasn't gonna make the roster.

The good news is that all of our opinions start to take shape in a couple of weeks! I'm all in on CMC and hope Brob doesn't sniff the playing field.

 

[tommyGunZ]

BRob being acquired by SF cemented me being comfortable taking CMC today at 7 in 1/2 ppr. Grabbed BRob in the 11th and now know I have that running game secure.

Coach Yac
“I’ve always liked Brian Robinson. In the context of this offense, with the one-cut and downhill elements, I like him. He’s tough, physical, and competitive. If by chance McCaffrey were to get hurt, in this offense you can line him up and he can be a volume back.” — Greg Cosell

I'm just here because a guy drafting last night was very excited to get B Robinson at 1.14 at the turn. And yes it was the guy who was doing some of the most trash-talking in the days leading up to the draft.

The B.Rob signing forced a ton of my pre-week 1 waiver drops to be Jordan James

Maybe I'm too forgiving of a person, but as a commissioner, I would have stopped the draft right there and made sure that person knew they were drafting BRIAN Robinson and not Bijan.

I dig what you're saying, but at 1.14 Bijan long gone if the group has a clue.

Probably, but maybe not in SF or 2-QB.

Bijan was 1.01

I sorta figured. This guy was all fired up to get BRob of the Commanders.

He’s still not going to drop that far. No more than 3-4 QB’s are going to go before that. He goes right around Gibbs and Chase in pretty much every draft.

Dynasty .. is he worth keeping on a roster or dumping him for Sean Tucker ?

I am rebuilding in a 16 team league and my RBs are nonexistent. Robinson was this team's #1 that I took over last year.

I'd keep him. Not that I don't like Tucker, but he's 3rd on the depth chart and struggles with pass protection. I'd want Robinson especially if I owned CMC.

Thanks... I do not own CMC. Tried trading Robinson to CMC owner, but wouldn't even deal Kendre Miller for him so stopped trying after that.

How could the person think they were drafting a guy who was already taken?

A person yelling out "Brian" when they clearly meant "Bijan" is one thing. Both are on the board, and it's pretty obvious who they wanted. You let that slide.

But in this case you'd have to admit the person wasn't paying attention to the draft that just started a few minutes earlier. The one they were in. The one where Bijan went early. That has to stick.

 

[Proteus]

I put this in the CMC thread, but no replies, and with waivers about to run, drop options matter.

Obviously the ceiling comes down if CMC were to miss time and Robinson gets plugged in.

But how far does the floor drop?

I'm wondering if he's even worth rostering as a handcuff since it just doesn't seem plausible that Robinson suddenly gets the targets CMC gets.

Am I missing something? Are CMC managers still holding on tight?

Of course he wouldn't get the target share CM gets. He's not best pass catcher,so maybe 3-4 targets a game. He'd still be good for 80 yards-100 total yards a game n possible td every game. He'd be a rb high-end rb 2,not a rb1 like CM. .

Agreed. You don't replace CMC of course but Robinson is a good runner and, a much better receiver than he gets credit for. In 41 games in Washington he caught 65 of 80 targets (81.3%) with a 9 y/r average. Not sure why he gets a rep for not being a very good receiver.

Clearly Guerrendo will have a role but, he hasn't seen an offensive snap all year and played exclusively on special teams. Think about it for a minute: Guerrendo was incumbent, looked good even but, Shanahan still trades a 6th* for Robinson and immediately inserts him ahead of all the other RBs on the roster. He's been in the system a month and his familiarity with it only increases with every additional day.

Yeah, I see a high RB2 outcome for him as well. I roster CMC, I have had Robinson on my roster since draft day and I don't see dropping him.

*I see people diminish the fact that it was a 6th round pick but, I call B.S. on that. People are talking up 6th-7th round rookie RBs all over this forum and Robinson is probably better than all of them. Certainly more proven. The JCM thread has been on tilt since Robinson was traded. Monangai, LaQuint, Brashard Smith get tons of run in the SP and now people are jumping on Tahj Brooks and Chase Brown isn't even injured. People love their 6th-7th RBs.

He may well be the most valuable, with the high odds he is the most likely to start (predictable asset) given CMC's injury history.

Plus add in SF's soft schedule this year and he could very well be a league winner.

 

[smcindoe]

Over a month since the last post in this thread, and obviously he's barely playing these days, but has the handcuff value changed?

 

[zamboni]

It's probably hard to say at this point. Shanahan was gung ho about him being the #2 back when they first traded for him, but who knows if that's changed or whether it would be an RBBC with Guerrendo if CMC did go down.
