CMC worth the pick?

[Kevin Greene]

Never any doubt in my mind CMC was an excellent 1st round pick and who we should take.

Now I'm greedy and would like to see him on punt returns.

Perhaps once Rivera finishes pulling his head out of his ass and doesn't have 22 running off tackle in 4th quarter garbage time. That's C.J.'s job, I mean come on, this is basic common sense.

He's a great player for Carolina and he is doing great things.

That being said as far as position value we passed on a shutdown corner and two franchise quarterbacks (and all the picks they can bring) to select a guy who's been equaled or bested in production by three third rounders in the same draft.

and where would we be if we had Lattimore but were still starting Stewart or Artis Payne at RB ? CMC has been a large chunk of our offense through 2 winning seasons so far , what do you have when you take that production away?

CMC will totally be worth it in the short term if we get to back to back winning seasons for the first time ever in our over 20 years of existence as a franchise. Also if we win a SB in the time he's here that totally changes things too, since SB is the ultimate objective.

Meh the forum racists were just mad we drafted a white back, proved all the haters wrong though.

We’d be idiots for not taking advantage of the deepest RB draft in a decade is where’d we’d be.

There's really no guarantee we wouldve drafted any of them. Getting Lattimore in round 1 couldve had a butterfly effect on the rest of the draft and who knows what we do with the rest of our picks in that senario

Our other two options would have been cook or fournette if we moved up. Don’t think we made a mistake He’s great

I'm good with our current CBs. But you really would have gone QB round 1?

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a consideration (nor would anyone have taken seriously that it was).

hes not saying he wouldve gone QB, he saying he wouldve used the pick and traded it to someone who wanted one of the QBs for us to trade down and get more picks i assume

No. A couple of firsts and a third.

Obviously no one made us an offer we couldn't refuse, because it didn't happen. Question was would he have gone QB anyway at our spot?

LOL, nobody offered that.

Revisionist history is fun though.

yea if you remember the circumstances of the 2017 draft. We had a high draft position for the first time in a good while and Gettleman probably knew we weren't going to be drafting that high again for a while. And everyone was calling for us to revitalize/reinvent the offense and add more dynamic skill position players to help Cam out (which we certainly did with Samuel and CMC). 

Also keep in mind we went extremely defense heavy in 2016 draft and absolutely bombed it besides Bradberry. People wouldve been calling for Gettlemans head if we got another CB in the 1st after drafting 3 the previous year to not much avail.
