If the 49ers Go Running Back in the First Round, Who Should They Take?

The 49ers have the No. 2 overall pick entering the 2017 NFL Draft.

With a talent deficient roster in many areas, including key positions like quarterback and linebacker (both inside and outside), most pundits don’t see the team selecting a running back in the first round.

However, despite having elite skills, RB Carlos Hyde has not exactly been the poster child for durability.

Out of a total 48 games that span his three-year career, he has only appeared in 34, or roughly 70-percent, of them. That doesn’t exactly scream bell cow.
