Christian Mccaffrey is a more logical choice

No tackle is worthy of a top 10 pick at the moment. Robinson is on Richardson travel ban so that means the closest possible tackle close to being top `10 isnt on our radar. Are you really thinking of KR with our highest drafted RB since stewart? If so so i believe Dalvin Cook can do almost everything McCaffrey and is better between the tackles.

I don't like the tackles in this draft and no way in hell should any of them be taken in the top 10. That being said I wouldn't even want to trade down in the first to draft Cam Robinson because I don't think he will make a great left tackle in the NFL, maybe a great right tackle. I also wouldn't mind drafting Mccaffrey in the 2nd if we take a guy like Jamal Adams in the first but there's a good chance McCaffrey won't be there on day 2.

Any GM that takes Mccaffrey in the top 15, damn near top 25 is asking to get fired. And I'm a Mccaffrey fan.

Its kinda like the GMs that took Perriman, Dorsett, or Agholor in first just because of speed. I swear people were raving everyday that each guy is what our offense needs. And all 3 are looking like busts, albeit the first two haven't shown that they can stay healthy.

I know Mccaffery gets rave reviews about his work ethic and IQ but you can't take him any earlier then late mid to bottom of the first. And since the op stated a boost in the return game I suggest we take a look at Victor Bolden, he's a 5'9 recevier/return specialist thats been clocked to be faster than tyreke hill

McCaffrey would be an upgrade to Fozzy. I can't see us taking him at 8. He isn't big enough to be the focal point of a pro running attack. He is a willing blocker, but not a great blocker (but of course he can improve).  The team that drafts McCaffrey is going to have to be committed to keeping him in the flow of their offense on a consistent basis. I don't believe we're that team. But if he falls to 40, I'd consider him (even if we draft Fournette).

I dont think Stew is going anywhere any time soon. I believe he will restructure...I think Maccaffrey would be available in RD 2, maybe not at the 8th pick, but close. Fozzy goes packing and we use him immediately on 3rds/when stew gets hurt/and in our return game. Gettleman will stick to his BPA approach at 8 in RD 1.

Id be okay with it only with 2 scenarios Fournette is gone at 8.. we trade down into the late teens early 20s and take him or take him in the 2nd round at 8 if hes there. 

Basically, and our ST needs an absolute OVERHAUL, plugging in a KR/PR isnt going to do much of anything. Our ST hasnt been ranked relatively high (even middle of the pack) since 2008.

      Shaq Thompson to Enter Free Agency

      He said himself in his interviews today that he is more of a chess piece to move around and mentioned he's been working a lot with Nolan Smith jr.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how we move back:  First, Offensive tackle is not good in free agency.  The Draft: The Jets need a LT.  Will Campbell is the consensus best Tackle in the draft, and they take him.  All those other teams (I count 6-8 who need a T--and I see KC STARVING for one after the Super Bowl) decide they need to move up to get the best pure LT in the draft, Kelvin Banks out of Texas.  After Banks and Campbell, there is a pretty sharp drop in talent level, dropping from A players to B players. The next two OTs are Right Tackles, so anyone needing a LT would have to hope the fifth overall OT, Wyatt Milum (arguably) would be there at the end of the first round.  Knowing that so many bidders are doing the same thing and they all have phones, I honestly think that Campbell or Banks is there when the Panthers pick and the phone will be ringing.  If they both go before the Panthers pick, crickets.  Here is the Math: Likely to be gone when Panthers pick: Ward, QB Carter, Edge Sanders, QB Graham, DL Hunter, WR/CB Likely to be available when Panthers pick:  There are 2 picks before the Panthers pick once those five get gone.  Among those are these players: McMillan WR Johnson, CB Will Campbell, OT James Pearce, Edge Javon Walker, Superhero.  If we only had 10 more.  (LB) Kelvin Banks, OT Now, if I am a GM on a team that needs an OT, I feel fairly strong that an OT is not going in the top 5.  I am working on potential trades for the seventh and eighth picks, ready to make a deal as soon as Campbell or Banks goes off the board. The Raiders pick 6th--they have needs at OT, WR, and CB if you assume they sign a QB in free agency; I think Darnold goes there, personally.   Regardless, there are no QBs worth #7 overall (unless Sanders falls), so they will draft an OT or CB--in my view,.  They are going to shop in free agency with a lot of $$$.  I am guessing they get their CB then.  the Raiders' will likely draft OT Campbell, but do not rule out TMac:   Biggest Weaknesses: Quarterback Offensive Tackle Cornerback Wide Receiver Running Back The Jets pick 8th.  Of course, their phone will be ringing off the hook for Banks if this happens, and the Jets have many needs now that Rodgers and Adams are gone.  While they too need an OT, they have more pressing needs as well.  Edge rusher is their biggest need listed here after QB, but their defense was ranked #3 in the NFL last year (I was surprised).  Their offense was ranked 23rd.  They will be focused on revamping the Offense with the losses of Rodgers and Adams.  I see them taking a T or Tmac.  Biggest Weaknesses: Quarterback Edge-Rusher Wide Receiver Safety Interior Defensive Line Offensive Tackle In this scenario, the only ways the Panthers can trade back is: 1. If the Raiders do not take an OT and the Jets do. 2. If the Jets refuse trade offers and take the best available edge or WR at #7. 3. Both OTs are gone and a team wants the best CB or WR in the draft and is willing trade up.  I do not see a lot of depth in this draft at CB or #1 WR.  What may cause the Panthers to stay put and pick:  1. Edge.  They see Pearce or Green as part of the second-tier edges and need one of them. 2. They like TMac and see the offense taking the next step with him, knowing they can address IDL in round 2 and have Clowney and Wonnum for another season.  3.  The do not re-sign Mike Jax and need an outside CB and have the chance to draft Johnson to pair with Horn.  4.  They fall in love with Walker and Evero develops a boner on how to use him properly.  From this perspective, I would give the chance of trade back slightly under 50% I would speculate that if we draft, we take Pearce, Johnson, or McMillan.  I do not see Walker being a good fit here, but I understand why some of you like him.
