Benjamin Allbright all but guaranteed that we're taking McCaffrey

[Lasus83.]

The smoke screen is complete.

Isn't McCaffrey coach now one of our coaches?

To those saying "smokescreen" - is there any evidence that Dave or Ron have smokescreened the draft previously?

I'd say if anything they are usually pretty transparent.

This is just starting to sound like the same white people who were guaranteeing us that Hilary Clinton was going to win the election. 

Typically they do this to a white QB... but now it sounds like Christian McCaffrey is the guy this year. Dont get me wrong... Christian could very well be great. But this is just getting ridiculous.

He tweeted that McCaffrey won't be making it past us and that other teams know that and are trying to trade up to grab him instead.

That's very hard to believe...

What does whiteness have to do with anything in this context?

My theory: Fournette is #1 on the big board. McCaffrey #2. If LF drops to 8, we pick him. We also try to trade up for him if possible. If not, and he doesn't fall, CM is the pick at 8.

If someone wants to offer a valuable deal for #8, we trade down and target Ross, and then BPA the rest of the way.

I think Jamal Adams is the real play but McCaffrey and Fournette are both smoke screens.

Guess we will all know in a week.

yeah we've been fairly straightforward, but I think it depends pretty significantly on other teams this year.

 

The market to move up top 3 seems pretty thin. Could they do that? The market to jump us is pretty heavy for players we want, will somebody try?

 

this may be good, deep draft, but there is a definite gap between the blue chip and red chip players and it looks fairly cutthroat in the race for the top guys. 

I think the names were lo led to are true, its just a matter of whose there and what other teams (or us) do.

Exactly what I was thinking if this is true...

Garrett, LF, CMC, and 2 QBs off the board if rumors are true about Bears and Jets/Browns...So that leaves us looking at Adams, Thomas, Howard maybe.

trade down to whatever team is willing to overpay for McCaffrey

Panthers are picking a runningback first. 3 elite level (performance)guys will be available. The talent level of Dalvin Cook may put him right back were he was supposed to be. He was a top ten guy on most bigboards before the chatter, second only to Fournette. As the smoke clears and haters try to swipe any RB that they know we may covet just to try to stick it to us(ie N.O. Snatching Cooks), we now know that if these busters try to snatch Fournette AND CMc with a little forgiveness before hand and being a bearer of second chances we may yet land an elite RB ( performer ) to take the load off Cam. No worries. Panthers will get their runningback this draft. A damn good one.
