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.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
