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?

I wouldnt say a bargain... he is living up to expectations....

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?

    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
