Christian Mccaffrey is a more logical choice

I agree that 8th overall pick is too rich for him.

But he has one strength which you don't see from Fournette's game.

Patience, and great Agility.  His Le'Veon Bell-esque running style very impress me.

He also has good vision and knows how to make people miss.

Considering his skillset in passing game, we should evaluate him very closely.

Strange to me that people keep mentioning us picking Cook.  At least 3 run ins with the law (robbery, poss of gun, battery) and it isnt like he is all that big and he will fumble as well.  I dont see us picking him.  McCafferry is a perfect citizen so that alone makes him more likely to be a Panther.. and obviously 8 is too rich for McCafferry with the talent in that top 10.

I knew about the last alleged offense regarding punching the girl, but I was unaware of the other stuff. I believe in second chances, but Cook's history of getting in trouble is at odds with the Carolina Culture. I mean, those are some serious charges that he's had to contend with over the years, and even if I were inclined to give him some benefit of doubt, I have to seriously question his choices and choice of friends. 

I think that McCaffrey and Cook are closer than people think as far as upside and potential, and even if that's not true, I believe that some GMs are going to have that perception. Once you throw in McCaffrey's character, then he becomes the better gamble (value).

As far as McCaffrey, don't we need a backup RB (especially if Stewart stays another year), and a slot WR and a KR and maybe even PR (if Ginn goes).  McCaffrey checks all those boxes. 

If Fornette goes earlier I'd be pretty stoked with moving down in the 13-17 range grab another pick and get the OT.  Then move up and grab McCaffrey.  That would work.
