Black's draft capital gives him edge over Jordan James for No. 2 RB role, but limited upside.

Black, a third-round rookie, is competing with second-year fifth-rounder Jordan James for the No. 2 running back role behind Christian McCaffrey. Black was one of the most overdrafted players of the spring draft. Both Black and James have similar skill-sets as early-down box checkers who don't catch many passes. Black has the advantage of being the 'new guy' with better draft capital, though James theoretically has more experience under Shanahan. The source notes this is not a particularly interesting battle, and if McCaffrey gets injured, it would lead to an ad hoc committee approach.
