- **LCN:** Iāve found myself liking Kaelon Black to the 49ers quite a bit. Thatās an organization that consistently produces quality looks for running backs and puts them in a position to do what they do best. For Black, thatās just finding a hole and running, occasionally over people if theyāre in his way. Him being taken that high speaks to how viewed him in this draft. Iām also a fan of Sarratt to the given that heāll have an MVP throwing the ball his way while being able to show off what he can do as a run blocker.
