The Sacramento Bee<\/a> is reporting that 49ers’ coach…<\/p>\n

Mike Singletary is desperately seeking a return man [like] Percy Harvin and Reggie Bush, [who] could be moved around the field like chess pieces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The paper goes on to predict the “chess piece” could be a rookie, like #1 pre-draft rated<\/a> fantasy football rookie, CJ Spiller.<\/p>\n

If the 49ers are bold, they might take running back C.J. Spiller of Clemson in the first round. Or they could wait and nab Cal’s Jahvid Best, USC’s Joe McKnight or Mississippi’s Dexter McCluster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
