Watch that podcast I recently posted. Nuggets on McCaffery that'll probably help you see he's got a whole lot of potential.

I know exactly what he is. I've seen plenty. And you don't take a situational player top 10. 40 is a whole different discussion. I'm not taking a RB top 10 if he can't carry the ball 20 times a game from the backfield. If I want a slot WR, I'll get one who does that all the time. Not as an add on. I said my peace and respect your stance. We just disagree on this one. Nothing wrong with that. I could easily be wrong and it won't be the first or last time.

Jesus, Fournette is not the next Bo Jackson. I would like him at 8, but I'm not setting my expectations on a transcendental runningback from him.

He'll be a Stephen Davis type, but he's not Bo Jackson, or Adrian Peterson. Those hoping so will be greatly disappointed.

We disagree on this also. Not that he is Bo. No one is. But he is much better than Stephen Davis. I saw every snap of Davis in college. There is a reason he went 4 th round.

No problem. I enjoy discussions like these.

Not Davis as a prospect, but Davis in his prime.

I'm giving him far more credit than that. Davis was an intimidating powerful back in his prime, and Fournette can achieve that, or even go further than that. Not AP or Bo's level, but he'll be solid.

Even as much as I like Fournette, comparing him to an arguably top 5-10 RB of all time and possibly the single greatest athletic specimen in American Sports history would be too high a standard for any RB.

All these "the next Bo Jackson" posters... do they realize that who never had a 1000 yard season in the NFL? That he only had ONE career 100 yard game?

Bo is one of the great "what if" stories in NFL history, but I sure as hell hope that whoever we pick at #8 isn't "the next Bo Jackson" because that means he was a bust.

Undersized (though talented) running back at 8. Totally a Gettle type player and move. We need more threads to discuss him.

You really don't know Bo...lol. Sorry, couldn't resist. 

  He was hardly a bust. He was a 7th round pick. He told TB not to take him after they screwed him out of his SR year of baseball. That's on them. If he plays football full time, he would have been one of the best ever. Easily.

Better trade up to get him. Just give Cleveland Cam Newton and all our 1st round picks for the next 100 years to be safe.

The point I was making is that we've seen a white Stanford RB get hyped up by the media before. Much like McCaffrey.

I don't doubt his talent but he is not the 8th best player in this draft.

[OldNorthPowell]

Rich Cho agrees with me as well so it must be the right move to make in the draft

Agree, I'm simply saying that saying a guy is "the next Bo Jackson" isn't really a positive thing, especially when you're talking about a top 10 pick.

The guy had a ton of potential, but then he broke his leg off.
