At this rate Fournette will be off the board before Cleveland picks at #1.

Yes please, and Praise Jesus!!!

I could see Shanahan doing this only because he doesn't currently have a QB. His offense functions better with speedy backs.

Ironically we'd have a ring if he had just run the fugging ball, so fug him to the tune of 25 points.

28-3.

To me the top 3 best prospects are Garrett, Fournette, and Lattimore. Fournette going 2nd overall would be exactly what I would expect.

49ers have needs everywhere and I don't believe that they really think Fournette is the second best player in the draft, especially a RB in today's game. Shanny and Lynch I would think are both more pass oriented thinkers, but it's possible. And highly doubt they are "ready to give up on Hyde." That just doesn't make any sense. If they took Fournette, him and Hyde would probably be used like Shanny used the Falcons' duo, but much better. Wouldn't "give up" on Hyde.

Great I hope they do- minimizes the chance we blow our load trading up for him

Go Cleveland, SF, Jax, or NYJ!

Send in that card!

Some of y'all have decided that the way to treat a couple of guys (Rivera/Shula) addicted to quaaludes and nembutal is to double their dosage or give them more pure, powerful quaaludes and nembutal.

Isn't Carlos Hyde the super spectacular immensely overrated tenth wonderful of the world that NFL reporters always try to make sound so wonderful?

I know they've moved on more towards David Johnson of the Cards now but...

Hyde is very good. Only threat on their offense the past few years and with a sh*tty run blocking line and still runs the ball damn well. Hurt often but that wouldn't be a huge enough concern to me that I'd go and take a HB at 2 over someone like Thomas or Adams. Which is why this report doesn't make sense and could easily be the 49ers trying to get the Browns to outthink themselves if they really want Fournette, letting the niners snag Garrett. Unlikely but could be the thinking behind the leak.

From someone who actually does have sources around the NFL

How early in the draft will Leonard Fournette be selected? If what I’m hearing comes true, much earlier than expected.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell me the San Francisco 49ers are very high on Fournette and are seriously considering using the second pick of the draft to acquire him. The new front office wants a bigger back to run the offense and they’re ready to give up on Carlos Hyde, who has had his struggles staying healthy since being drafted by the franchise in 2014.

Yeah that is real old. They have 4 rbs now they are not going Fournette.

Let them. That just pushes Thomas Adams further down to us.

They have a 2nd round pick in Hyde. I doubt they spend a 1st on a RB with the amount of holes in that roster.

49ers are drafting D. Watson

I hope so. I think we just need one QB to go ahead of our pick and we're GOLD!

Praying 1-2 of the teams above us go Mitchell and DeShaun to help slide some other options to us at #8.  I could see the 9ers and Jets going QB.  Wild Card would be Chargers. Rivers aint getting younger and with him verbally be upset about the move to LA as well.
