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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
