At some point, perhaps on the second day of the draft (April 26), the 49ers will select a running back to complement Frank Gore.
(Unless, they take a guy who is going to just walk around all day and tell Frank how great he is. In that case, they'll be getting a running back to compliment Frank.)
Here is what coach Mike Singletary told me at the combine about what he envisions: "Frank is a special running back. But I think it would help to have someone come in and share that load, maybe someone who has a different style - someone who adds another dimension to our running game. That would be very advantageous for us."
