Hyde has already shown more than the likes of Shonn Greene ever has.Gurely is a great talent..despite the questions about his ACL. definitely will be picked between 10-20. ( i currently have him going to san diego at 17)
The only reason that its a questionable pick is because it would be the second year in a row the 9ers have spent a top 50 pick on a running back. When they have holes everywhere now.
But..the identity of the 9ers is ground and pound, and there is no guarantee on Hyde, so if he is the best player on your board,,take him. The best teams always take the BPA IMO, not reach for need. But the greater NFL media and fans will always criticise if teams dont draft for need.
If Hyde turns out to be Shonn Green and Gurley turns into marshawn lynch or jamaal charles and becomes a pro bowl back, then the decision pays off
Hyde is a starting tailback in the NFL
