Top 50 Position Battles: 49ers backup RB
#28. 49ers backup RB: Michael Robinson vs. Maurice Hicks vs. Thomas Clayton
Hicks is better on third downs, but Robinson looks more likely to handle most of the workload if Frank Gore is hurt. The former quarterback predictably didn’t understand the game that well as a rookie, but has good physical skills.
Clayton has a lot more talent than the average sixth-round pick, so he can’t be discounted here. He’s a between-the-tackles runner that should make the team. Gore owners want to watch this battle closely and draft the winner.

Having gore and being up against my cap even before we start our draft this handcuff is imperative. I just dont think we will know who it untill gore actually gets hurt. I Will be reading your opinions on it with interest for the next month. Draft Day august 25th. I hope we know by then.
