Are people really saying McCaffrey is preferred over Fournette now?

There is no chance of defensive player taken at 8.

Fournette > OJ Howard > McCaffrey 

one of those 3 will be available and they will be picked via that order.

Not really, from what I am hearing. Defensive player just as likely.

My view is there will be an offensive player avaible that will have the same grade or higher 

unless somehow we move down to the 20s which isn't happening it will be offensive player lol!

I think this is manufactured for media hype. I suspect he'll go anywhere between 15 and 60.

McCaffery belongs in the second round.he's got to be the most over hyped player in the draft by a mile

I wouldn't go that far but yes, the media has hyped the hell out of this guy. Still like him but not at 8.

Who will have a longer career? McCaffrey or Fournette?

I'll play devil's advocate.

Fournette has already had nagging injury concerns. McCaffrey is basically a receiver/RB hybrid which could lengthen his career by taking less hits as a traditional RB. Plus his dad played for 13 seasons in the NFL so genetics are on his side.

McCaffrey on the other hand has had a ton more touches than Fournette in his college career and might have less "tread on the tires" so to say. For contrast DeAngelo Williams had a heavier college work load and has played for 11 NFL seasons.

Who will be the better player? Who knows. Just a question I wanted to pose.

IF Fournette remains healthy he will have the longer career.

This is outrageous

I like LF and I like CM, I think both will be good in the NFL but I think LF is literally made for the Panthers. I think he could be the player to put us over the edge from good to dominate again. He played 2 years with college level JAGs at QB. While LSU had weapons on the outside, they were unable to utilize them due to inept QBs and ATROCIOUS play calling and scheme. Defenses had one key and a single read on every play and he still dominated everyone but Bama. Put him in our offense and it makes everyone better. More opportunities for Benji,Funch, and Olsen. Plus giving Fournette running lanes for the first time in his upper level football career equals nightmare for defenses.

The real question is who will have a better career? Deangelo Williams played longer than Barry sanders but no one says he is the better player. 5 years of greatness is better than 10 years of average.

McCaffery at 12 is a very interesting option, especially if Howard is gone as well.  Having said that, Fournette fits what we want to do to a tee.

McCaffrey won't fall past the Saints

Fournette embodies our Keep pounding foundation and also our offensive scheme. 

Do you spend and invest in a heavy dude truck to get the job done or save and bargain for a crossover that you try to say "it may pull this or haul that here and there maybe, but it'll be good for family road trips that we take occasionally.

Personally I'm still not sure I would want any rb at 8 and I darn sure wouldn't trade up to get one. It would rob the team of probably 2 quality players theres no way a rb is worth it. 

[Saca312]

As long as we come out of this draft with a RB, TE, and possibly a slot WR, I'm happy.
