OJ Howard or Christian McCaffrey

Recommended Posts

With 13 days until the draft it's looking like we might have to decide between Howard or McCaffrey @8. We know Gettleman will take the best player available. Assuming Dave believes these two are the best available, who is the better player?

Let's take a closer look via the internet's prominent draft sites:

I prefer OJ but understand the logic of both. Both would aid in not one but two areas of need  (OJ Another receiving playmaker/blocking.....Mac Slot receiver/running back). Either way I have confidence in whoever we decide to roll with in the first. Outside of Otah (injuries) and Butler (jury still out) I haven't been disappointed in any of our first round draft picks lately at all.

McCaffrey. I love Howard's potential, but one thing that people tend to forget is that it usually takes TEs a couple years to develop into great players. We have the chance to win a Super Bowl now, and I'd rather not waste the pick on a player who needs time to develop rather than someone who could get at least 1,500 all-purpose yards for us starting immediately.

Can you approximate Howard's skill later in the draft? How about McCaffrey,? Which one is more unique and fills needs. I want an offensive guy. I would be happy with each. The best tight end or second best back....    Tough choice......I would love either....

McCaffery.  You end up getting 3 needs filled with 1 pick.  OJ howard is a backup next season and at best a third option in our passing game.  Give me the guy that helps us out today.

He fills one need not three.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
