He'll also be a great change of pace back. He'll never be an every down back, but with the two back systems becoming more prevalent, there aren't many "every down" backs in this league anymore.

Wow, Kaepernick's speed still amazes me. I know he won't get nearly as many options to run in pros, but I'm convinced he faster than his 40 has showed.

Also, I'm baffled as of now why Shane Vereen isn't getting much attention. Great speed, good size at 210, good receiver, and reminds me alot of Ray Rice.
I like what I see out of him.

Agreed, though he's still viewed by many as a 2nd-3rd round prospect. When Best got hurt a few years ago, I came away equally impressed with Vereen when he was thrown into the spotlight.

He reminds me a bit of Ronnie Brown.

Vereen is a nice back. I like him in the 2nd-3rd round area for a team.

In reality, this class isn't getting much love due to the lack of studs at the RB positon. However, there is a lot of backs that I am really fond of coming out.

One of my favourites with just pure potential for home run ability is Taiwan Jones.

He does look elusive. To bad he couldn't run at the combine.
I do have to lol at his facemask though:

Nic Grigsby would be my favorite.
I liked him when he first got there, back when Arizona had Tuitama (man, where is he now?).
But TBH I totally forgot about him until a few weeks ago. Still have to watch stuff on him.

You guys have to watch it. You can't see much, but the guy filming it is fucking hilarious!

Ahahaha, wow....

Yeah, I like Taiwan Jones. My other guy that a lot of people are sleeping on and that I see as possibly being a nice late pick-up is Bilal Powell from Louisville.

I also really like Roy Helu. He reminds me of the old school running backs. I want him.

Ras-I Dowling had an impressive Pro Day. Probably locked himself into the second round.

He is going to be a good 2nd round selection. The only question is his durability, and he has to prove that he isn't made of glass.

This draft seems pretty deep in DL and CB's.

RB seems a little weak to me, maybe it's just the lack of high-end talent that makes it seem that way

There is no superstar talent, but there is definitely some gems to be had in the 3rd-5th round type of area. Lots of very solid running backs there.

Corners are crazy weak though.
After the first 5 or 6, you'll have to reach if you want one in round 3.

I really like a few corners in this class. Curtis Marsh is going to be a fucking steal.
