The Giants have agreed to a deal with running back Shaun Draughn, agent Sean Stellato tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Terms of the deal are not yet known. Last year, Draughn re-upped with the 49ers on an inexpensive one-year deal. 
Draughn, 29, appeared in all 16 games for the Niners last year, mainly in a reserve role. He ran for 196 yards off of 74 carries and found the end zone four times. He also added 29 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns.
The Giants are currently slated to start rising sophomore Paul Perkins with Shane Vereen, Orleans Darkwa, and George Winn in support. The G-Men have been expected to explore running back upgrades and the Draughn signing probably won’t stop them from continuing that search. This year’s draft has a number of talented running backs (especially at the top) and there are a handful of big name backs left in free agency, including Adrian Peterson, LeGarrette Blount, and Jamaal Charles.
Draughn’s defection will leave the 49ers searching for a new reserve to put behind starter Carlos Hyde. The Niners recently had Tim Hightower in for a visit and he could be a candidate for the role. Mike Davis and Raheem Mostert are also under contract.
The Giants are now slated to be the seventh NFL team of Draughn’s career. In addition to the Niners, the running back has previously suited up for the Chiefs, Ravens, Chargers, Browns, and Bears.
Go into the draft and get a power runner
Ho hum. not impressed. doesn’t appear to offer an aswer to running game problems. maybe special teams/
I agree, not impressed either, but was probably brought in to be a veteran presence to our young running backs, or just as a veteran to push Darkwa or Winn in camp. He’s not a special teams player so I just see him as n extra body that will probably not make it out of training camp. I’m sure that they will try and pick up a big power back somewhere in the 4-6 round of the draft.
This move and the Ellison signing have me confused as to what Jerry Reese is thinking. Stop wasting valuable cap space on guys who don’t bring much of anything to the table.
I’m not a fan of this move; however, the Ellison signing is good (not the length or the amount). Ellison is a really good blocker which we need on the offensive line. I don’t believe he was brought in for offensive production.
They have no top shelf RB or linebackers. When will reality set in for Reese
