A positive - Chase Brown

Brown is probably good enough given those issues.

Very true. We will still need to draft a RB but probably cannot afford to do it early for a guy like Ashton Jeanty dang it all. Love this guy.

Probably have to draft Defense or Interior O-line in the first couple rounds.

My exact thoughts. Shanahan makes every RB look decent in that scheme. Wish we had a new OC that could do a shadow of that scheme.

Yeah, not fully expecting him to replicate his career 5.3ypc if he comes here, but even if he has some dropoff that's still a good number. 

I will say Jeff Wilson, Raheem Mostert, and Matt Breida left the 49ers and found some success with the Dolphins (apparently their GM just likes taking the 49ers RB depth in FA, lol). I don't think it's quite a full blown Mike Shanahan's- RBs-at-the-Broncos type situation.

Ultimately we need a new coaching staff to go with the more talent.

Yes, a new coaching staff with a decent scheme and Mason might be a good add for us at RB.

I don't disagree about the size difference. Pacheco is and was considered a power back coming out of college. Not that Madden is the end all be all, but go look at what type of back Pacheco is rated as on Madden. He's considered a power back. He's powerfully built and so is Brown, but Pacheco moves piles forward while Brown has yet to discover that consistently. 

I'm not knocking the kid. He's one of my favorite players on this team. Wts, he could use a little hep!  Hilarious

Jalen Hurts is a QB and is one of the most powerful dudes on the Eagles. Dude squats like a million pounds.

Pacheco runs crazy hard no doubt. Much more powerful than Chase Brown and yes like you I like Chase Brown a ton. Some players are just 
different. Jalen Hurts might be the most powerful running QB ever and that is why it is automatic when the Eagles run the brotherly shove.

Go look up Jonah Coleman, RB at Washington. Bowling ball thumper at 5'9", 230 lbs.
At 1168 yards from scrimmage this year after 1154 last year.
I got him pegged as a Day 3 pick in my latest mock.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

Unless we change the scheme on offense RB picks are kinda wasted. If they get under center more, run more and actually break tendencies on play calling (so the defense has to guess a little and can't just tee off) then maybe a big power back is a good call later in the draft.

I would argue a Day 3 pick on a RB isn't really a waste because those picks almost amount to nothing anyway.
But I assume you are referring to a Rd 1-3 pick, right?
If so, I agree.

I really like Chase Brown. He seems like the kind of guy who gives it everything on each play, works hard and is tenacious... definitely glad to see the season he's put together.

That said, he's not an RB1... ideally he'll be a complimentary RB2 to share the load with a 'full time' RB1. Zack Moss is not that guy, and so to my mind we ideally do some shopping for an answer at RB in the offseason.

But Chase Brown is definitely one of the (limited) positives to this season.
