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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
