49ers get a work horse in Kelvin Taylor, NFL Alum Fred Taylor's son

The 49ers waited until later in the draft to pick up a running back, but when they did, they got one with a pretty good pedigree.

The San Francisco 49ers waited until late on Day 3 of the draft to select a running back. Kelvin Taylor, son of prominent NFL alum Fred Taylor was the player they chose.
