Could Grigson go after this guy? The 49er's are reportedly shopping him around.

[HtownColt]

Yea I seen that earlier today. But who knows what the market is for him. All he did last season for the most part was return kicks.

They are shopping him because Lattimore is probably 100% ready to go and that's a crowded backfield

[dw49]

Just what the doctor ordered. One less draft pick for Colts and one more for hers. To answer your question , I would say no way,

[NewColtsFan]

I'm in the "no" camp as well.

 

The 49ers are trading him because the kid wants to play and they've got no room for him.

 

Where do we have room?    And where will a draft pick come from?

 

Not a good fit at this time.....

[Gavin]

I wouldn't. He will be 25 by the time the season is under way. I'd much rather get Jerick Mckinnon who I think will be very good and is only 21, Or David Fluellen  who I believe is only 22 or Jeff Scott

[NewEra]

I'd seriously doubt it.

[CR91]

I want him in 2012, but I think the colts rather have dri archer with the 6th

[TKnight24]

I wouldn't. He will be 25 by the time the season is under way. I'd much rather get Jerick Mckinnon who I think will be very good and is only 21, Or David Fluellen who I believe is only 22 or Jeff Scott

He's basically 21 just like the other 2. James hasn't done anything in the NFL

[akcolt]

Dri Archer isn't going to be sitting there in the 6th you don't run a 4.2 40 put on the show he did at the combine maybe the 5th. Trent is going to be our running back. He is going to be a good one. Last year was a mess we had a different starting O Line like 8 games in a row he was hesitant you will get to see the real Trent Richardson this year.

 

If we want Dri it will have to be in the 5th he might go sooner. The small school kid I want is Tyler Starr.

[ColtsLegacy]

How many RBs do we need?

[akcolt]

Oh and no to James I am excited to see what Lattimore can do though

[wig]

Big fan of his but it makes no sense for the Colts.

[akcolt]

We have our backs so none but Archer would be like a Percy Harvin or McCluster type return kicks and work little plays for him in at WR and RB it would be exciting but I think this team needs to stick to nuts and bolts right now don't see the value in using one of our few picks on that type of player. We have TY and I really think Brazil is ready to break out

Brazill has to make the roster first

Hilton

Reggie

Nicks are the only locks at the moment

Whalen

Rogers

Brazill

1 of those 3 won't make the final 53

Don't see us carrying 6 WR's

[akcolt]

I could see us carrying 6 on the 53 man roster dressing 5 on game day in fact I think that is what most teams do. I think Brazil makes the roster. I think he is ready to break out. We will see. It is usually that third year for WR's

 

We will know more after the draft

Sorry to say it but i hope brazill doesnt make it.  I would rather see whalen and Rogers.  We already have the small speedy role in TY.  I would say Whalen is comparable to Collie and i think is perfect for being a possession receiver even though we have reggie for that.  As far as rogers, i like his big size and playmaking ability.  Nicks would be comparable to him, but we havent seen what Nicks will do for us yet.  I think those two will fill a better role for us than brazill will.  Those speedy receivers really can be done without but you need your possesion and route running receivers to be your money makers along with the bigger guys who can get up for it if need be.

 

But TY has shown his ups...he is super impressive.

 

All just my opinion though.

You make valid points though. It surely will be interesting to see how the WR spots fill out these next few months

They always keep 6 WRs to start the year.

Wayne, Bey, Hilton, Brazill, Reed, Whalen -2013

Wayne, Avery, Collie, Hilton, Brazill, Kris Adams -2012(and Nathan Palmer when Collie went out)

Ended seasons with like 5 WRs though

I disagree think we could very much could use a player like McCluster and Harvin. KR is one of our biggest needs. And Archer can fill that role and produce in other area on the field as well.

[lollygagger8]

NO MORE TRADING FOR RUNNINGBACKS. 

[Dark_Indy]

NO MORE TRADING FOR RUNNINGBACKS. 

 

For the love of god, this.

 

We have enough.

[SilentHill]

Yea, because we need another Running Back.

it might not be those six, but I'm fairly confident they start the season with six

[Gavin]

We probably get a Scat Back at some point to push Rainey

[HtownColt]

Push Rainey at what?

[Gavin]

Push Rainey at what?

Competition for Scat Back

[HtownColt]

Competition for Scat Back

No room for it, only thing Rainey has a chance at is a returner.

Bradshaw is most likely the 3rd down back and Ballard/Richardson are the early down backs. Rainey is not going to take snaps from those three. Even if one gets injured they are all capable of being every down backs and all are more than capable pass catchers.

I just don't see it.

were not gonna just carry 3 rb's

[HtownColt]

were not gonna just carry 3 rb's

Yea the 4th is going to be in competition at returner or be inactive on game days

[Gavin]

Yea the 4th is going to be in competition at returner or be inactive on game days

Which will be rainey or a late round draft pick in my opinion

[HtownColt]

Which will be rainey or a late round draft pick in my opinion

I think Brazill has the best chance as of now as our returner, didn't Rainey muffed like half of his returns(which wasn't many total but still) before getting hurt? you can't rely on a guy like that

[ProblChld32]

The Backfield is already Crowded here as well and i would rather not shell out any more picks at this point.

[Valpo2004]

pass, they are obviously getting rid of the worst of their RB's.  I don't think he would make us better or help us. 

[akcolt]

I disagree think we could very much could use a player like McCluster and Harvin. KR is one of our biggest needs. And Archer can fill that role and produce in other area on the field as well.

In a draft loaded in back end talent you think KR when we have Brazil is more of a priority than S, CB, OL and a Pass Rusher? I disagree. To me Archer would be a nice toy this team still needs to solidify more important spots. I could go for a CB with return skills. The kick return is rapidly being removed from the game completely. I would have no trouble with Archer if he was going in the 6/7 like some on here think. That's not happening. I think we lack depth at too many spots to take Archer over a CB S or OLB that can contribute

[SOMDColtsfan]

After letting Donald Brown walk? No way

[IinD]

Great college RB, not so much in the pros. Harbaugh would have gotten him reps if he was capable. Gore isn't Adrian Peterson.

I didn't say KR was more of a priority than S, OL, or Pass Rushers. But KR is one of our needs, and if Archer is available in the bottom of the 5th I think we should certainly consider drafting him. And starting a drive with good field position is important especially with the fact that we start our games slow.

[TKnight24]

Not so much about Gore being AP, James just doesn't fit

49ers are a power run team. Kendall Hunter (Or is it Dixon?) that is the #2 RB brings speed & power. James is only speed. And with Lattimore stepping in this year most likely, there's your power running backfield.

And if Lattimore isn't ready, 49ers may sign a FA back to a one year deal just to be a stop gap until the vision comes into a reality.

Lattimore will be the feature back when Gore hangs up the cleats

[NewColtsFan]

I don't think that this is enough of a sample size to know that's what they want/like to do or....  of if that's just the way things happen to work out.

 

I'm not saying you're wrong.    You may be entirely right.     I'm just saying there's no real way to know at this point......
