Fullback
Hunter Luepke, North Dakota State
I wrote about Luepke last September after the Bison lost at Arizona by three points. He had 21 touches for 180 yards and three touchdowns. He almost single-handedly won them a game against a Pac-12 opponent. A part of what I wrote then: "Luepke is a battering ram who should remind NFL offensive coordinators of the super-versatile Kyle Juszczyk." I stand by that. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has gotten the best out of Juszczyk, putting him in positions to succeed. Luepke, 6-1 and 230 pounds, is the top-ranked fullback in this class.
Projection: Not every team uses a traditional fullback these days, so Luepke is going to need to find a team that covets him. I see him going in Round 4 or 5.
Lol your hate for zeke still gets you off!
Doesnt it make you excited to see talented you backs and think of the possibilities instead of the dread of Zeke plodding around at the expense of more talented backs?
OUCH!!
Good point, but looking forward to seeing the kid. Never know, we might be looking at a real star.
There is a dropoff, no doubt about that. Offensive linemen take time to develop, before you realize they are not what you hoped for. Or they are!
Pollard, Deuce, Hunter, Jones is an intriguing and versatile RB room. lots of possibilities.
I see Oline as the big weakness of this team.
I'd be more excited if I was sure Pollard would bounce back 100%
No worries at all. His injury is nothing that is going to affect him going forward. Small fracture in the small bone of the lower leg. Wasnt a clean break all the way through.
Yea maybe and maybe not. I've heard Doctors amd other players who've had that injury thT say that's not a guarantee. But I'd be glad if yoir right
