I'm going to throw this out there....why does everyone seem to act like we have no RB's? Portis old and injury prone, most likely gone. Betts and Rock are both just as old as Portis so if Shanahan is looking to get younger and faster then most likely they are gone as well.

Believe it or not Ganther is a good runner. He handled himself rather well. He was able to to make people miss him one on one and was able to be the power back we needed when it came time. Did you guys not see the same games in which he ran into a hole and would come out the back side for more yardage? or be overwhelmed by defensive players only to move the pocket. I think in Shanahan's system with a more updated blocking scheme and better, younger, healthier OL, I can see Ganther doing well.

Shanahan likes Alridge. I don't care how much you guys don't, or how much you guys think he's gone....Shanahan raved about him to Vinny. We have picked him up, cut him, picked him up, cut him, and picked him up. The last time I'm betting it was at the behest of Shanahan. I'm positive he will have a roll for that little speedy RB. Either taking it to the edge or simply getting him the ball in the open field beyond the DL and LB's.

If we can trade back and get more picks and still get the people we want I'm all for it. I do like the OP's scenario other then the RB pick. I might have gone either another OL, 3-4 LB, or DL (NT if possible).
