(UPDATE) sources have told Todd McShay we're taking McCaffrey

[TheSpecialJuan]

Sources have told Todd McShay that the Carolina Panthers are getting a lot of buzz as being a possible landing spot for Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey at No. 8 overall.

ESPN's Todd McShay has heard the Panthers could select Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey with the No. 8 overall pick "even if LSU's Leonard Fournette is still on the board."

McShay notes McCaffrey could help fill the Panthers' need at running back as well as slot receiver, and current WRs coach Lance Taylor was McCaffrey's position coach in college. Either way, it is clear the Panthers are seriously considering adding a running back in the first round, and they seem certain to add a rusher early in the draft. Jonathan Stewart's days as the clear lead back seem to be at an end.

smoke by panthers for trade down

Soooo.....what you're saying is, we are definitely NOT taking McCaffrey. 

[Mother Grabber]

"a lot of buzz as a possible landing spot" =/= "we're taking."

[Saca312]

Jeremiah is also saying he's been told we're sold on McCaffrey.

Two different factions with two different interpretations on who we're taking.

[Smithers]

All this Fournette and McCaffrey talk basically guarantees that we are taking Jonathan Allen at 8.  

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

I've gotten to the point now where im not gonna be upset or shocked with anybody we pick at 8....LF, CMC, lattimore, Adams, Conley...whoever GMAN takes is prbly gonna be a solid contributor for years to come

why are you the all time worst at creating thread names? you basically just lie.

[MrBubba]

Drafting McCaffrey, and trading up for Fournette. Also trading down busy Thursday night.  

[Jeremy Igo]

Lol

[Growl]

they have got to move this crap up a week

 

it's just frustration at this point and frustration turns into apathy

At this point, I think the only dude I wouldn't be excited about is Conley. And that's essentially because I don't know a ton about the guy since he's been a late name.  Whoever we end up with, I'll trust the staff.

At this point I just think GMan is leaking all sorts of bs to cover up his real intentions
