uhh...I don't know that they fill any needs. McCaffrey is not a wide receiver. And he doesn't have the bulk to be a bell cow (or workhorse, or whatever fricking farm animal you want). Peppers can't rush the passer, can't cover, can't play SS. I haven't seen much tape on him, but from what I have seen, I am not impressed. He should have been a RB but he isn't. He's a hyper-athletic player without a position.

As much as I like McCaffrey, these picks fill none of our needs besides returner and good rb depth.

Nope, McCaffrey is a true dual threat his route running ability is better than majority of WR's in this draft.

The thing is... He isn't a wide out but he performs as one. He plays the slot and has extensive knowledge of the route tree. He has plenty of experience as a wide out as well he was used as one at Stanford.  

Easily,  he can make this bland offense potent. Dare I say not even Shula can fug this up.

McCaffery very well could get plenty of snaps from the slot. He can be put in the backfield, or in motion. There are a plethora of options to get him the ball in space.

 

We very well could be looking at 1500-2000 all purpose yards here. He has that level of talent. If they want the guy, take him.

 

As for Peppers. The kid is a thumper, and never misses a tackle. He is a football player, with outlandish talent and ability. He is probably the 3rd best S in this class. Do not underestimate this kid.

 

As much as I abhor UofM, I would take Peppers in a heartbeat. Thankfully, or not, we won't get a chance to draft him.

Man, my giddy goes into overdrive thinking about what McCaffery could bring to this Offense.

 

That said. The only player I would take over him would be a Stud DE. There are only 3 of those. So it will be interesting for me as this whole process plays out.

      Yeah but jumping up in the draft to get a project #2/3 WR is just plain not smart. I am down on XL because the thought was that he could be a potential #1 WR and he has been anything but that so far. Also, the idea of him as a slot is even more upsetting because you pass on several more productive slot guys(McConkey being the most obvious) that were TREMENDOUSLY more NFL ready. I was not a fan of the XL move at the time and I am not a fan of the decision in short term hindsight either. He is just simply going to have to be a guy that proves it on the field to me. McMillian was my #1 WR in this draft and I was a pro-McMillian guy. However, he isn't gonna get treated with baby gloves either. We are in the era of rookie WR's putting up 1k+ yd seasons with regularity. He's going to(barring injury) have to be one of the top 2 or 3 WR's in this class in terms of production. And that's being very generous to him. He really needs to be THE guy from this class. It isn't like he is gonna have a lot of guys taking catches away from him.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      Thought this was an interesting moment of candor. See the 2:00 min mark. TD said he made the decision that he wanted T-Mac as our 1st round pick back in January. Dan chimed in and said he made the decision early as well (indicating the same time frame).
