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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
