Bradberry really seems to have KB's number.  He's had a lot of PBUs / INTs on him already this past week.  Must be terribly discouraging to KB.

I love what I'm seeing from Bradberry, but worried that *some* of his success is because KB has been lazy in his routes?  I'd almost like to see Bradberry switched around to be covering other receivers more often.  How often does he practice in team drills against Olsen, Funch, Shep or CMC? 

I guess what I'm saying is that I fear Bradberry will get comfortable covering KB but could get outplayed by WR1s on other teams who are greater threats than KB is looking to be right now. 

Hoping KB can ramp up his energy, his routes...  We can be so good if he can channel his talent and take advantage of his size and overpower his coverage.

I wanted Fournette also, but Fournette ultimately wasn't an option for us. We got the prize behind door B, and it looks like a good one, and may---just may---be a better fit for what we need right now.

Fournette may be a good one, even great,

I'm VERY glad we got McCaffrey.  As Cam apparently recognized, he may have been just the weapon we needed at this time to force our offense to adapt...

Haven't watched clips of Fournette or Dalvin Cook in training camp yet, but from some of the excitement I'm hearing / seeing on Twitter out of Jax and Minny (especially Vikings fans re: Cook "we'll never miss AP - Cook is gonna be better!"), it's making me think 2017 may prove to be an historic draft for RB greats.  Should be a fun battle to see which one of them blows up the stat sheets.

Disagree.  A large part of the allure was his ability to upgrade our subpar return game.  He's not your typical workhorse, sledgehammer RB, and even they aren't drafted in the top 10 anymore unless they're a Fournette/Elliott level talent.

Would appear CMC is a Barry Sanders level talent. You know, considering he broke his records and all. Their style of  play is also extremely similar.

So no, we didn't draft a player in the Top 10 to return punts. We wouldn't even sign Ted Ginn, who has been a decent receiver for us, to return punts.

Jonathan Stewart is still our #1 RB, amiright?  And how many guys have truly ended their season or career on a return? CMC4RETURNMAN17!!!!

A certain guy from Seattle recently comes to mind. The point is, you don't place one of your most important players back there. If Byrd is kept around, let him return.
