    With the 131st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the 49ers select South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore. While clearly not at full speed coming off his 2011 knee injury early this past season, Lattimore clearly possesses an outstanding burst out of his initial cut and very capable of getting into space before defenses are able to close off gaps. He is an aggressive, physical runner that does an excellent job of absorbing big hits and maintaining his balance and forward momentum. As a receiver out of the backfield he demonstrates natural hands and an ability to consistently find open zones in the defense where he can present himself as an easy target for his QB. He is an outstanding blocker, as he is quick to diagnose and attack the free man, and can sustain blocks with good punch and base as well as time cut blocks appropriately to take his man out at the thighs.

    Just IR him in 2013, and let him take over the world in 2014.

    With Gore there he won't have to carry.more the 150 times for a couple seasons. IR him, then give him about 150 carries in 2014 and let him take over in 15
