CmC was a bargain at number 8.

Recommended Posts

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?

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
