Frank Gore’s carries will likely be reduced

Found May 02, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Frank Gore,  Brandon Jacobs,  Anthony Dixon,  Kendall Hunter,  LaMichael James
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have certainly bolstered themselves at the running back position this offseason by signing free agents Brandon Jacobs and Rock Carwright, who will certainly have to compete for a roster spot in training camp with both Anthony Dixon and Kendall Hunter. With the 49ers using a second round pick on former Oregon running back LaMichael James, I would expect him to have a pretty significant role in 2012. With the additions the 49ers have made at running back, it would make sense for them to cut down on how many carries Frank Gore will get in 2012, especially since he’s turning 29 this month.

30. WR AJ Jenkins DThis isn’t a D because “the 49ers could have gotten him later.” That’s not true. The Rams were very interested in him and probably would have taken him at 33. This is a D because I don’t think Jenkins was worth the spot. It would have been a bad pick if the Rams had taken him at 33 too. Jenkins is fast and a solid route runner, but he’s just a slot...
