I was starting to think, if CAP came out in this draft, where would he have gone in the draft, and IMO, I think he would have gone higher than the 5th.  I think even a few years ago when he was drafted, RB stock was a bit down, so people weren't buying as heavily as teams are today, opposite of WR's today.  I just think that the SEC rushing leader would have been drafted before round five in this draft, even with the depth of the class, because of that, I started becoming reclined to the idea of keeping him as our bruiser once we hit the 5th round.

If he holds onto the damn ball, he can be a great compliment to CMC who will be our primary back.

The SEC's 2017 leading rusher was Auburn's Kerryon Johnson with 1391 yards (4.9 ypc).  He was drafted in the 2nd round in this draft by the Lions.

The SEC's 2014 leading rusher was Auburn's Cameron Artis-Payne with 1608 yards (5.3 ypc).  He was drafted in the 5th round of the 2015 draft by the Panthers.

Wish granted.

Plus, wasn't CAP an old rookie?

CAP was 24 when he was drafted in 2015.

He'll be 28 when the 2018 season begins.

They need a shortage guy so cam does not need to do it  cmc is fine for receiving and other type run plays

 

Thank you. That's all I'm saying. Just get a power back like  Legarrette Blount. Use him like New England and Eagles did. Change of pace power back that occasionally break a big run.

Hurney should have got him as a free agent. Or Bo Scarbrough with 7th round pick.

No one is trying to take CMC starting job....I'm trying make it where Cam does not have to run anymore or be a short  yardage power back. 

I hope they get Anderson/Rawls or Cap/CMC prove me wrong and come in showing power n speed. I''ll take either scenario.

Too true. When Stew and Fozzy are on the feild over a possible talented RB then you know loyalty is too strong in Rivera 

[rippadonn]

He's done some good things but when a 5th rounder fumbles in key situations he benches himself.

Agreed even when cmc had his record year in 2015 they used a short yardage goal line back named reymond Wright for goal line duties at Stanford Cmc has never been a great goal line guy

Yeah, when I saw Johnson's highlights, I thought how Artis-Payne may just be better. I think that people underestimate his power, and though I think he is mostly a downhill, one-cut runner that may not shake-and-bake you, I still say that he gets skinny really well and explodes through the hole with marked quickness

I see that the fumble-itis narrative is still hanging on. You'd think that people would have given that ghost up by now. It's just not true.

It's not but it seems to pops up in the worst times. Like that time when the Giants were in a close game with Panthers. Stew was kinda like that too, but it was more random.

You should know that magnifies a situation. People almost forgot all about Cam mvp run cause he didn't recover a fumble in SB. lol

[RumHam]

Huddle: DERRRR WE TOTALLY DRAFTING RUNNING BACK FIRST ROUND DERRRR

Literally drafts no one. CAP was the answer from day one, that's what he was drafted for was Stew's eventual replacement. He'll be damn good. Then again, we'll constantly be playing from behind.

[rhyslloyd]

I get poo on by some of the morons here when I say Rivera is an idiot. Rivera is an idiot, and those morons are even dumber. He has no clue what he’s doing.
