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?

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
