The San Francisco 49ers signed RB Marcus Lattimore (South Carolina), the 131st overall selection in this year’s draft, to an undisclosed four-year deal Friday, May 31.

Our View: Lattimore had top 15 talent but suffered his second knee injury in two years and that caused him to fall in the draft. He’s buried on the depth chart right now but dynasty owners should be excited about his future. If Lattimore can return to form his skill set is a mix of Jonathan Stewart (Panthers) and Arian Foster (Texans). He could be in line for a bigger role in 2014.
