Why not Christian over Fournette?

McCaffery is going to be a west coast RB, more like Brian Westbrook. The Chiefs are an ideal destination for him.

Panthers need to draft D'Onta Foreman. Dude is a battering ram and faster than he looks and can pass block like a MOFO. 6'1 250. Big men allow you to compete? Foreman.

I like Foreman.

That said, while the West Coast analysis is correct, I'm not convinced that we couldn't use McCaffrey.

If you want to draft Fournette because you expect him to be a great back for the next 10 years that's understandable.  In the short term though I don't see a different back doing much better then Stewart under current conditions. 

Very rarely do I watch Stewart run and think someone else would have got much more out of the run. Sure, a speed back like Cook might make some runs that Stewart doesn't but at the same time he probably won't be able to turn those 2 yard gains into 4 yard gains like Stewart.

yes. i want to look at RB too, but honestly stew + CAP + late round rookie behind a much improved offensive line will do much better than a shiny new first rounder running behind remmers and oher.

omfg people wake up. Cook is going to be average in the NFL. He has a great line in college, and we don't. Plus, the NFL is a tougher league for RBs of his caliber.

and lol at comparing McCaffrey to Fournette...

Would you rather Nick Goings or Adrian Peterson?

    • If he is BPA, then yes. I am a believer in Dan at this point and hope that he doubles on his strat from last draft.  T-Mac wasnt the biggest need, but at a first round position, over-drafting for need is bad.  We had XL coming back (we didnt know he'd catch rabid Racoon Disease in the offseason and forget how to be even an acceptable WR), Thielen coming back (yes...old AF thielen was a 1k reciever) and Coker coming off a surprising season...if you asked RIGHT AT THIS SAME POINT LAST OFFSEASON if we should draft Defense or T-Mac where we were last year, I guarantee 70-80% would have said "WHY THE fug ARE WE TAKING A RECIEVER!?!?!".  We're getting close, but you build a winning roster by Drafting studs in the first round and depth after, and Studs dont come from "Well we needed a Long Snapper", they come from "I dont care if we don't need a Receiver, That dude is THE DUDE"
    • I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.
    • Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic. 🐝🐝🐝
