This should not happen. Just because he can catch doesn't mean he is better than all of the receivers who have been training to play the position all their life. You get one or the other and use their talents. not cut the feet from under the other because you draft a runningback and try to make him learn another position. I honestly love Christian,but all all this drafting two runningbacks in the first round sounds like white people being in love with a white guy running the ball and having him look like them. Normally this board is against taking any RB in the first now hey lets draft 2 if the white guy is still there....

McCaffrey checks off the boxes of running back, receiver and returner. Shannon Sharpe a black guy thinks if he weren't white he would be a top 10 pick. He is like a bigger stronger Wes Welker who can run between the tackles and averaged roughly 40 touches a game. But yeah everyone just likes him because he is white.

I wouldn't pick him over him at all. but the point being made is that take one or the other not both. dont draft a slash player to fill a wr need.

Funny but his running back coach at Stanford is now our wide receiver coach. I guess he might have taught him a thing or two about being a receiver.

McCaffrey might help mopey Cam. But I've been gung-ho on Fournette since we have a chance at a Top-10 pick. If he's there, he absolutely must be the pick.

What's a mopey Cam?

I can't wait to draft Dalvin Cook

Still not buying that we're going to evolve our offense by drafting the definition of a traditional RB in the top ten.

All depends on what Ron and Mike consider "evolution".

My money is placed on the "add tons of traditional and predictable run plays" is what they consider "evolution".  And, if I'm correct, then they probably think picking a traditional RB is the perfect solution to "evolve" back to their preferred 1970's-1980's-style offense.

I honestly want Fournette as the pick if, we have to trade up, so be it. He's a clear shot at starting instantly and turning the offense into a juggernaut. If we can't get him by trading up or at 8 then trading down for more picks will be preferable. Most of you won't agree but I feel the Panthers are zoned in on him and have a alternate plan if it doesn't get them what they want.

The closer this draft gets the more I thinks it's a priority to do whatever it takes to get a top offensive talent. This just can't keep going on not putting any blue chip players around cam. And now Not knowing if he is gonna be 100% this season just makes it even more important. It has to be addressed now, whether it's receiver or RB gotta get someone who can make things happen with the ball in their hands not just catch it and hit the ground/gain a couple yards. We have used that extra luxury cam has given us over the years now it's to much of a risk to put him in that position excessively  anymore. There is Blame for that but I don't really care about pointing fingers anymore, just fix it by giving him support so we can prolong his career.

Yeah Im with you on this,although it's going to be hard as hell passing on some top defensive prospects. We Really could address wr,te,rb/ot with the first three picks easily, just gotta be willing to decide its time to be aggressive on offense,
