so excited I like this pick reminds me of Edleman..Also reminds of Hoover if not more versatile!!

 

Edelman is an almost perfect comparison based on size/speed. He was drafted in the seventh round.

Hoover really isn't a good comparison. He was a bull in a china shop. McCaffrey is nowhere near the force he was. In any event, he went undrafted.

The only player with the same size/speeed/strength/skills I can think of like McCaffrey even mildly successful was Reggie Bush. If I'm really generous, I might use Gayle Sayers as a comparison. This style of runner tends not to thrive. When they have done well, they haven't held up well.

His style and skill set is more like LT or McCoy.

I just pray the guys who wanted him are right, improving the secondary imo was the best way to improve the overall team but you can't be mad with getting cam weapons, just hope he turns out better then you theo riddick's and james white's of the league

This is a terrible pick, IMO. McCaffrey is a 2nd round pick at best, not a feature back, and his absolute highest ceiling is Sproles. 

I hate this pick, it just strikes me as Shaq Thompson-esque, except on the offensive side of things. 

Hope to God I'm wrong, but I would far rather have had Barnett or Lattimore or even Howard.

I think you're wrong. Sproles was a revelation after a few years, and was never really featured. McCaffrey is coming in with much higher expectations from the get-go. Plus, who wouldn't take a younger, more advanced version of Sproles in his day? And lastly, Shaq hasn't played as much as you'd think because of the guys in front of him, but his day is coming. And he's still one of the better linebackers in the league.

People already bitching guy hasn't even hit the field or is even in charlotte,

[chknwing]

dont like the pick.  Shula does not know how to use McCaffery properly.  OJ Howard would have made the biggest impact on this team.  Now he will be killing carolina down in tampa.

Hands

Versatility

As I have stated numerous time with slow development of Funchess CMC will be the #2 WR behind KB.

 Sad DG didnt' trade for OJ, 

Sad we wasted picks to move up for him. 

Still a chance we get a TE

Best WR? loool. Wow..these cats are wildin' tonight.

He IS the best slot WR in this draft.  On top of that he is the 3rd best RB.  Might even be the best P/K returner.

But please elaborate.
