The Niners can take the gamble on taking him in the 4th round. They are in no hurry to get him to play right away......Thought it was a good move......He was definitely the best back out there before his injury.

More exited about getting Patton. But nothing wrong with a flyer. God Balke is good....Comment -
The NFC West is going to be the best division in 2013.......Looks like all the teams in the division are doing well in the draft.Comment -

yeah the 49ers should get an A+ on their off season so far. They are making moves!Comment -
Gotta like it when a team on the cusp of winning a championship has the ownership behind making any and all changes necessary to put them over the top.Originally posted by Big BearComment -
Great picks overall. The rich getting richerComment -
smart move
they dont need him for next two years.
we have enough time to get him back to 100% health.
He is easily the best back in the draft.Comment -
The nfc west is looking tough. Good job in the offseason.Comment -
Go Niners! Loved this year's draft.Comment -
Why didn't the NY Giants pick up that TE from Notre Dame in the first round?
That guy looks like Jimmy Graham out there.Comment -
Yeah I am a huge Lattimore fan and I was hoping he would win the Heisman last year...then he got hurt. He will be an ABSOLUTE ANIMAL in the pro's. Mark my words.Comment -
Best situation in the NFL for Lattimore......Gets to spend a year rehabbing with a top organization and gets to learn from Frank Gore who had similar knee problems
Also, someone mentioned that San Fran's zone read system is all about North-South 1 cut running which fits Lattimore perfectly
Rooting hard for Latti.....Great player and a better person
San Fran had one hell of a draft btw.....Talent all over the placeComment -
lattimore will be playing by week 4 and making a difference

I don't know about this. Considering his most recent form you can't say he's better than Johnathan Franklin. He may, in reflection, be a better pick but I'd still rather have Franklin given the choice.Originally posted by vyomguyComment -
With Gore, Hunter, and James....I doubt Franklin would have made much of an impact in 2013 anyway. Lattimore is worth the gamble over Franklin for the Niners because for 2014 and beyond, he has a chance to be a much better player IF his injuries don't affect him too muchOriginally posted by tatddy
Lattimore would have been a first round pick if he didn't get hurt......Easily the most talent of any RB in this class by far.
Risky, but well worth the gamble for SFComment -
Jjust glad the kid is getting a shotComment -
I lot like Michael Bush in game and injury historyComment -
49ers will be scary good this year, the dynasty is back.Comment -
Him and James will be dynamic 1-2 punch in a few years. Loved the wr from La Tech. Was hoping Pats would've grabbed him over the kid from Marshall.Comment -
He wasn't the same player after his first knee injury.Comment -
I like Lattimore and I read in plenty of places he could be back to his old self in 1-2 yearsComment -
Lattimore was amazing to watch even after his first knee injury. He really was drafted into the perfect situation because he could've gone anywhere from not being drafted due to the knee concern or drafted to a rb needy team looking for value and trying to push him to play this season. With the great trainers the niners have he'll be back and plowing through defenses, hopefully before the end of the 2013-14 season. The niners killed this draft. Drafting tank will give justin smith breaks through the season, which he rarely saw for the last few seasons, and that'll help ensure he's healthy for the postseason which really screwed the niners over during their super bowl run. The Niners got better than last year, even after losing Goldson, Sopoaga and Francois. With the draft picks looking good for next year as well, the new Niners dynasty is beginning before our eyes....NFC west is going to be fun to watch next year.Comment
