Episode notes
McCaffrey Still Untouchable
- Christian McCaffrey remains the unquestioned lead back for the 49ers and stays a top-five RB in drafts.
- Who backs him up is unsettled between Isaac Garendo and Brian Robinson, making backup value low for most drafters.
Garendo Vs. Robinson Role Fit
- Isaac Garendo excelled as San Francisco's backup last year, averaging over 5 yards per carry on zone runs.
- Brian Robinson performed better on power gap runs, so role fit depends on the 49ers' play-calling mix.
Don’t Panic On Draft Day
- Don’t panic and move McCaffrey down in drafts because of the Robinson trade.
- If you want a bench handcuff, you can wait and choose between Garendo or Robinson late in drafts.
