Gil Brandt: Perfect draft prospect to compliment McCaffrey

David Montgomery: Carolina Panthers

Christian McCaffrey has proven himself to be a force, generating 1,965 yards from scrimmage (6.0 yards per touch) in 2018, but the two-year veteran doesn't have the strength to run through people. Thus, the Panthers could still stand to add someone who can run the ball inside. Montgomery is big enough (5-foot-10, 222 pounds) to get in there and muscle his way forward in short-yardage and goal-line situations -- plus, he has enough pass-catching ability (71 catches, 582 receiving yards in three seasons at Iowa State) that he won't limit what Carolina can do when he's on the field. The former Cyclone projects as a nice backfield complement to McCaffrey

From the sounds of it he’ll be our second round pick. 

If we could land Bryce Love in the 4th round it could be an absolute steal! He backed up cmc for 2 years at Stanford and would be the fastest back in the nfl if he recovers well from his acl injury

CMC is not a one trick pony, a power RB to be run into the ground. He should be preserved for that fact. Whatever this franchise does they need to lighten his load and find another backfield threat who isn’t Cam. And more importantly, have the aptitude to use him effectively.

However this is same staff that drove Cam in the ground because it worked and gave no thought to expanding their minds and taking the more difficult route in obtaining talent in order to enable preservation until recently.

So the questions isn’t whether someone should be obtained, it’s really would it even matter. See: CJ Anderson.

I wonder how this guy is any different than CAP?  Very similar and CAP might have a little more speed.  Just saying.

Similar to cap but Bryce love would be an added speed dimension when added to cmc Samuel and our other wideouts The defenses wouldn’t be able to handle all that speed

I agree that we need a compliment to CMC, but he ran through a few people last year. He is a very good inside runner. I'm all for giving him some more breaks, though.

We can't risk injury, and if CMC gets injured as it is, we are screwed.

I want him with our 3rd rounder if he falls

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
