Gas On The Fire: Bill Voth Says - With Gun Pointed To Head - McCaffrey Likely Pick

Well, for those of you who still are whining about the possibility of McCaffrey, well Bill Voth certainly isn't helping. He seems really confident McCaffrey is the pick.

So much so he says he'd say he's the pick with a gun pointed to his head:

Again, you all know I think he'd help our offense evolve the most, and be an impact player from the get go; more-so than Fournette.

Why he's good can be seen here:

Discuss, and let the meltdown begin!

But in all seriousness, I'm well on record not liking McCaffrey at 8 but there's a not-insignificant chance that Fournette, Thomas, Howard, Adams and Hooker are all gone by our pick and in that scenario I suppose it's a toss up between McCaffrey and Barnett for who I'd prefer.  

I had been leaning Barnett for a while but I just can't get the parellel of what Barnett looks like in college and what Everette brown looked like in college out of my head.  

So I suppose with the above 5 all gone I'd probably accept McCaffrey.  I'd rather him than one of the WRs and a lot more than Allen. That pretty much covers everyone that's a possibility except the CBs and I haven't done enough research to form a hard opinion on them. I can't imagine Gettleman would spend another pick on a CB after last year's CBonanza. It's possible if he feels the clear BPA when we pick is one of the CBs, but that's require a lot of chips to fall a certain way.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
