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

[RoaringRiot]

Bill has an announcement coming up that is going to make several people on here look very silly. But at least it will provide some clarity for those who have no clue how this stuff works. Glad to see a few in this thread actually do "get it".

Not sure how I'd feel about him at #8, maybe Gettleman should turn the decision over to the Huddle since we have way more experience in scouting than him.

Our vote matters, 

All black unis......where'd they go?

It's possible, but he is pretty far down the pecking order. Would like to see them trade down and select him around 13ish.

That would be great. Is that something you are hearing or just speculation on your part?

I think by the "gun to his head" comment, Bill meant "if you put a gun to my head and insist I give you a name 2 weeks prior to the draft... "

I don't take it that he is confident it will be McCaffrey.  Almost the opposite.  If he HAS to give you a name, that's who he'd guess.  But it sounds like a pretty low certainty pick by Bill.  "Here's my best guess, but I *really* hate having to give you a name" kind of thing...

I've been really surprised how the mocks are swinging all over the place.  Kind of fun really.  I like the suspense.

It isn't speculation that they like him but not thrilled at 8. As to trade possibilities, just a guess.

Bill gets a bad rap on here for some reason, but he's connected, and the best writer we have for this team.

I agree, I really enjoy BBR.  Very much hoping Bill will find a way to keep the lights on and stay plugged in.

Also liking Jourdan Rodrigue alot.  Her latest mock draft 2.0 and the "Gettleman inner monologue" is really funny in parts.  Well done.

I remember when Kuechly was the pick.  "but we have Beason, the GOAT.  This is a stupid move" and expressions of the sort filled the forum. Same thing will happen with McCaffrey.  

 

I can't wait for the pick.  The surest thing here is that they will get a quality player and we'll be right back in the playoffs.

I can't wait until the draft is over.

I wonder what their plan is if a teams takes a qb 1-7? Probably won't have to trade in that scenario.

Jeremy's had much better insider info here and he's just a photographer. 

Because I choose to be on the field and take photos doesn't mean I am "just a photographer". The only thing different between me and anyone else in the media is I choose to be on the field rather than in the press box... a choice they can't make btw.

For all the years with the Giants, Gmen took RB, TE, CB, DE an DT's as there first round selections.  The philosophy was to get a playmaker in the first.  Ron Dayne was at 11, Shockey at 14.  That was their highest pick outside of Eli Manning.

Now, figuring we don't take a QB or DT, then the other picks that coincide with the philosophy and the picks in this draft would be CB, TE, RB and DE.

Lattimore?  Maybe

Fornette?  Probable

Thomas or Garrett?  Certainly

Allen? Possibly, depends on shoulders

Howard? Barnett? McCaffery?  Not outside the realm of possilities but on the fringe of trade down territory

Best bet for Panthers is for Chicago to take a QB and start the ball rolling on QB's.  This should trigger Cleveland to move up in front of the Jets, to get their QB

At 12, Howard and Barnett would probably be the choice as I feel NO will take McCaffery since shipping Cooke off the farm

There you have it, who needs Voth, right?
