As the draft has approached, a popular theory has emerged linking running back Christian McCaffrey to the Panthers at No. 8. (Indeed, that’s where he resides in the 2017 PFT Worst Mock Draft Ever.)

A source with knowledge of the dynamics believes the McCaffrey chatter is likely a smokescreen, one of the many that are wafting through the air like whatever Phil Simms pushed in the direction of Jim Nantz.

FWIW I just did the NFL Predict the Pick thing and I ended up having McCaffrey going to Washington at #17.

If all the smoke clears and everyone stays in the same spot they are in (no trades) I could see us getting Fournette and McCaffrey falling to mid-late first.

CLE - Trubisky

SF - Adams

CHI - Thomas

JAX - Allen

TEN - Lattimore

NYJ - Watson

LAC - Garrett (omg him and Bosa)

CAR - Fournette

CIN - Foster

BUF - Hooker

NO - Humphrey

CLE - Reddick

AZ - Mahomes

PHI - Charlton

IND - Barnett

BAL - Howard

WASH - McCaffrey

TEN - Williams

TB - Cook

DEN - Ramczyk

One smoke screen gives just enough to make guys think and over think.  You put out too much BS, people easily figure out you're BSing and your smoke screens lose all of their deceptive value.

Unless the truth is in one of the 10 smokescreens..

I believe Solomon or Hooker will be there when we pick.  OJ Howard, and McCafferey will also be on the board, but we'd be silly not to take Solomon or Hooker.

So if someone tells me 10 concerts they've been to, but one is a lie, do try to guess which one?  Or do I just unfriend those stupid a-holes? =)  (facebook poo).

Lie all you want, it only makes any statements of truth more like a lie.  Instead, you have to look at what benefits the liar the most: in this case, SF wants to trade down and get more picks.  Deep draft, lots of talent, more picks = brighter future.

What better way to drum up interest than to spread the rumors that you're going to draft or deal all the marquee players?  That works in a 4th grade trading card swap, but I could care less.  It just means what you have to offer is less desirable than me staying pat if you're that desperate to get out of it.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.

      X was drafted too early, needs refinement and is playing out of position. We knew this. What's the issue? Personally, I think he will be fine. Just needs more time.

      Rozeboom is a JAG. Shaq was most definitely not a JAG.
