Mccaffrey lack of ability to break tackles is bad. He has one of the worst yards per touch averages in the nfl 

[PrimeTimeHeel]

i am not a fan of drafting RBs in the first. 

i think he has potential as a swiss knife kind of player.

unfortunately until shula is gone we will never know the players true potential.

Even looking back at the draft from today, I'm still not sure who would have been a better pick at 8. But I'm agreeing so far, McCaffrey is no where near worth #8 so far. If we were dead set on drafting  a RB of the future we shoulda traded up for Fournette or traded down for Cook. You can't really say anything about Hunt since no one expected him to explode like that. McCaffrey isn't an NFL running back, hes a WR who maybe should be in the backfield occasionally for tosses , trick plays , or end arounds, but should see most of his time in slot or out wide where hes actually somewhat resepctable.

I wanted Lattimore or Hooker personally.

All I'll say, is wait until Kalil is back to truly pass judgement.  If we can get out of the obivous running downs, and have a better center, I think our running game will be vastly improved.

At this point, it's pretty obvious that CMC is more of a receiver than he is a runner and that CAP should be taking most of Stew's snaps. Stew was a very good RB for us when healthy for a long time, but the guy is clearly shot.

hope so. I wasn't really passing judgement , thats just how  i feel at the moment based on what i seen. I won't say if he's a bust or not until hes been in the league a couple years.

Definitely agree with the CAP over Jstew.  I do think CMac can be a good between the tackles runner though.

Doubt it, to be a good inbetween the tackles runner you need to able to break tackles, Mccaffrey couldn’t break tackles against pac 12 defenses not gonna do it in the nfl.

Are you joking?  McCaffrey absolutely broke tackles in the Pac 12, and he broke tackles tonight.  I'm not sure you realize how important Kalil is to our running game.  However, I also don't think you really understand football, when you think CMac didn't break tackles in the Pac 12.  Just wow.  Hope you are drunk

Yup. Once Fournette was gone I was praying for secondary. Jets just had to freaking draft Adams.

Lattimore or Hooker would have been huge for this defense.

He will never be considered a bust in the sense Reggie Bush was never considered a bust.

 

But to me  the 8th pick has to be a more than a scat back.

We will when he's on New England.

Mccaffrey only had 500 yards after contact that wasn’t even in the top 15 in college football.
