CmC was a bargain at number 8.

The 2018 NFL yards from scrimmage leaders and their draft positions:

1. Saquon Barkley. 1st round. 2nd overall

2. Ezekiel Elliot. 1st round. 4th overall

3. Christian McCaffery. 1st round. 8th overall

4. Todd Gurley. 1st round. 10th overall

5. Julio Jones. 1st round. 6th overall

 

Each of these guys is clearly the best offensive player on their respective team. 

Notice a pattern in their draft positions?

The idea that a running back is not worth a first round pick is rooted in the traditional mold of a three down, lined up in the backfield, up the gut rusher. CMC is a fantastic rusher and receiver in a single package. You wouldn't think twice about the value of spending the 8th pick on a potentially elite wr. McCaffrey is that and so much more. He may not be a true bargain since you hope for a pro bowl talent when you draft in the top 10. But he's exceeded all expectations and quieted everyone who second guessed the pick at the time.

I don’t really think any top 10 pick can ever be considered a ‘bargain.’ 

Depends on the position.

I would consider Patrick Mahomes a bargain or a Joey Bosa.

Speaking of CMC, if CJ had got those same carries how much different would the numbers be?

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
