uhh...I don't know that they fill any needs. McCaffrey is not a wide receiver. And he doesn't have the bulk to be a bell cow (or workhorse, or whatever fricking farm animal you want). Peppers can't rush the passer, can't cover, can't play SS. I haven't seen much tape on him, but from what I have seen, I am not impressed. He should have been a RB but he isn't. He's a hyper-athletic player without a position.

As much as I like McCaffrey, these picks fill none of our needs besides returner and good rb depth.

Nope, McCaffrey is a true dual threat his route running ability is better than majority of WR's in this draft.

The thing is... He isn't a wide out but he performs as one. He plays the slot and has extensive knowledge of the route tree. He has plenty of experience as a wide out as well he was used as one at Stanford.  

Easily,  he can make this bland offense potent. Dare I say not even Shula can fug this up.

McCaffery very well could get plenty of snaps from the slot. He can be put in the backfield, or in motion. There are a plethora of options to get him the ball in space.

 

We very well could be looking at 1500-2000 all purpose yards here. He has that level of talent. If they want the guy, take him.

 

As for Peppers. The kid is a thumper, and never misses a tackle. He is a football player, with outlandish talent and ability. He is probably the 3rd best S in this class. Do not underestimate this kid.

 

As much as I abhor UofM, I would take Peppers in a heartbeat. Thankfully, or not, we won't get a chance to draft him.

Man, my giddy goes into overdrive thinking about what McCaffery could bring to this Offense.

 

That said. The only player I would take over him would be a Stud DE. There are only 3 of those. So it will be interesting for me as this whole process plays out.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
