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.

    • Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse. 
    • Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.  
    • I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
