OJ Howard or Christian McCaffrey

OJ all day. While i like CM, we just dont use RBs as APY guy that much in our offense. Plus TJ Logan in the 5th or so can serve as a good APY guy for us.

Our offense will benefit more with OJ. That being said, these 2 TE sets Shula uses needs to change up some so that #2 TE isnt just primary blocker but a recieving threat in the offense like Chud used and like the Pats used.

Personally I'd want McCaffrey. But realistically? Howard. 

You could make an arguements both ways in that you could still get a servicable TE or RB well into the mid rounds of the draft (or even late rounds with RB) . I don't think there's really someone that matches McCaffrey talent wise as an all around RB in the draft but it's a bit of a risk to see if his skills translate well to the NFL. Howard seems like a much surer bet , TE with prototypical size, soft hands, and already has decent blocking skills . Will massively help alleviate pressure off of Olsen as a receiving threat , can help with protecting Cam when he's on line blocking. 

I see Perine and James Conner as backs that fit the team very well who are going to be there somewhere in rounds 2-4 maybe even 5. Very different skills than McCaffrey but having a young bruiser back is welcome in of itself, Fozzy and CAP, they aren't power runners either. Stew goes down and we're very limited in our RB skillsets.

Cmc no doubt. You can have all the skill and physical tools in the world but if there is no desire, you get well....Russell. Cmc has the presence, desire that Howard seems to lack. 

 

If Adams and Fournette are gone, Mccaffrey would be my pick. However I do think Gettle goes DE if this is the case.

Both are fine prospects in the late first but the fact that either one is being discussed in the top ten is crazy. 

I have a good feeling that Fournette will fall to us @8.

49ers will take a QB or Jamal Adams at 2 that will leave Solomon Thomas and Jonathan Allen to Jags.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
