    One back was a young player, one was a vet all that time. Even going back to Foster and Smith in 2002. We're featuring Williams. There's no reason to drop a higher pick to backup a RB who's never really started.

    We need to add a decent veteran who can backup Williams and take a few carries per game to keep Williams fresh. There are plenty of guys out there who can do this and are cheap. I see no need to draft a running back in round one.

    I wouldn't mind having a Pittman as a vet backup. Nice third down back and he runs with some power, not to mention he can catch.

    ESPN's John Clayton expects the 49ers to sign free agent DeShaun Foster "in the next couple of days."

    San Francisco was quick to contact Foster after he was cut last Thursday. The Niners would reportedly use him as a complement to Frank Gore, but he'd be the biggest threat for carries Gore's faced since Kevan Barlow in '05.

    The Bucs were thinking about making a run at Bears quarterback Rex Grossman until Chicago re-signed him. DeShaun Foster is begging the Bucs for work at $2 million a season, while Jon Gruden is waiting and hoping that Denver releases WR Javon Walker later this week instead of paying him $6 million. If Walker is free, the Bucs will pursue him before chasing after Minnesota's Troy Williamson.

    And yeah, that whole thing about Pittman playing bumper-cars with his wife and child is not very comforting. Plus, he couldn't stay ahead of Graham on Tampa's depth chart.
