McCaffery drawing huge buzz

[Sharkinva]

Happens every year after the combine. Rams gave up lots of picks for Goff. That was all hype


No idea if McCaffrey can run even between the tackles much less be an every down RB in the NFL. Washington was the only legit defense the kid faced and he got shutdown.


I hope someone reaches on him and Cook falls to Tampa. I'd be stoked.

Hmm.. A Bucs and Noles fan...... IM going to hazard a guess you are either in Florida, or from Florida. LOL

Rams fan. Use to live in Florida. I pull for Tampa and I know Cook isn't going to last until the Rams pick early in the 2nd round.


Just not sold on McCaffrey. He lit up bad defenses in college and got shutdown by 1 good one.

I actually think McCaffery MIGHT be the second best fit for the Skins at RB. I think Cook is the best fit. Because I dont think a power back fits into what Jay Gruden is going to run.

Call me a homer but Cook is one of the best RBs I've seen in awhile. Vision, size, wiggle, speed the dude is special. Love to see him play with Jameis.

He's been durable too

And he lit up Michigan and Clemson. Both top 10 defenses. Had 4 TDs on Clemson and Jimbo started throwing the ball

Apparently you have only been skimming the cliff notes. I been calling for Cook if he is there for the last month.

Sadly I think he will get drafted well before 17, so my Skins might have to roll with McCaffery if we are going to take a RB at 17. Mixon as an affirmed member of the slapahoe tribe bothers me at 17.

CM =CT if you want a 1300 yd back shark then CM isnt it . He will encourage abandoning of the run game

CT on steroids maybe. CT's main issues is, he is about as durable as this guy

You don't spend A first rounder on a 3rd down back

I dont think he is a third down back. As I have said, he wouldnt be my first choice, but I think he would be much more of an every down back than CT, and a bit more versatile than RK.

 

[deanpet21]

Comparing CM to CT is just laughable. CM brings way more to the table. Are you serious dude? Don't you know CM has been talk of going top 10 overall? Why is that if he just a 3rd down back like you said.

 

[skinz2winz]

You would take McCaffery and Cook at 17, but that's too high for Mixon.........Huh??

Ok, I'll play Sty. "If" Mixon is the best of the top 5 RB's, what are you really getting with Mixon after you draft him? All football Mixon who has grown, matured and learned from his past failure with women, or the same person who, if put in a similar situation reacts in the same manner? A guy you have to put a spy on before and after practice, a guy who is emotionally unstable, immature and cannot handle every day life let alone stardom and the privilege to play in the NFL?
The answer RIGHT now is no one is really sure. So do you risk pick #17 on Mixon or do you take another stand out RB from Stanford who clearly has blazed his own path without question marks and goes about his business on and off the field the right way. If I had my way Stymie, Mixon would be our RB next season but I'm glad I'm not the one who has to pull the trigger on that move. I want to draft him with our #49 however, I'm afraid he won't be there. With as much negative info coming out of Ashburn these days, taking Mixon at #17 would create even more circus media that we already have. If I had my druthers, I would trade down a few spots with a hopeful trade partner, then take Mixon in the mid to late 20's while picking up an extra pick. Yes, even here the negativity the pick would bring will be outlandish but oh well. Bring Mixon in for a pre-draft interview and REALLY grill this young man to find out how he ticks. Possibly even bring in a female who works in the organization to help conduct the interview to apply even more pressure. See how he responds to this tactic and where he is at emotionally today, and how he feels about the situation he put himself in and how he feels about the young lady he abused and such a disrespectful, un-human type of manner. Is he unquestionably remorseful???

*Note: I will say it again, I'm not against drafting Mixon if ALL boxes are checked off.

I like CM alot but I doubt he will be there at 17. Plus Crowder does alot of what he can do minus the RB skills.

It is. Thompson is nowhere near the caliber of player that McCaffrey is. Thompson is waaay undersized for the 3 down RB and too short to be an every down slot guy. He is situational and CM can be used all over the field.

Its nice to see someone with some sense. skinsdad is off his rocker.

 

[skinsdad62]

call me when he has 1300 yds rushing and does it year in and year out . he isnt what we need . CT provides what he brings to the table . add to it the list of players who cant carry the load at his size

and sure pundits and scouts can say a lot of things but i dont see CM as close to being the best fit for this team at RB when lined up vs fournette , cook , mixon or foreman

yeah he can line up "anywhere " but can he tote the rock for 20 to 25 times a game ?

We don't need him to tote the rock for 20-25 times a game. CT route running or pass catching skills is not even close to what CM brings to the table. Defenses don't game plan against CT. They will have to against CM.

You don't understand how Gruden wants to use his RB's. Brawlers like Founette or Foreman do not fit his system. Its another reason why Matt Jones was such a bad pick. He doesn't fit in what Gruden wants to do. If we draft Mixon then yes he can be on the field for all three downs but will still be spelled for the backups.

Kelley and CT are still going to have roles no matter what RB we take. Gruden wants at least two RB's who can be weapons out of the backfield. Compare it to ATL. Freeman and Coleman are not brawlers but can hurt you in the passing game. If Its RBBC its fine with me.

 

[countryroads316]

Kelley is a backup he lacks speed and burst leaves way too many yards on the field and as for CM he is not the type of back we need

 

[deanpet21]

tell Gruden that he loves him. In case you haven't noticed Gruden is a pass first coach. He thinks CM is just another weapon in the passing game. I agree Kelley is a backup RB that is why I want a RB in this draft.

I don't even think CM will be there at #17 to make the decision to be honest.

 

[skinsdad62]

the argumment for taking a RB is we needed help at the goal line and we need a bell cow . if we dont need that then pass on RB because the value for that role you describe isnt worth it

 

[deanpet21]

absolutely wrong. IF that was the case why wouldn't Gruden give Jones another shot? Cook, Mixon, and CM can all hurt you in the passing game. Gruden is looking for WR threats not guys like LeGareet Blount.

Big backs like Founette, Foreman, and Perine are probably not even of Grudens board.

While I understand your sentiments on the player, there is a pretty easy way to understand what we're dealing with in this case. The irony relating to redemption and the judgements that we apply to others under these circumstances is that we see clear examples every time we peer into a mirror. So, ask yourself, are YOU the same person that you were at 18? Looking back at some of the dumb shit done at 18, what would 21 year old you tell 18 year old you to avoid?

Making a comparison between Mixon and McCaffrey is just not reasonable in football terms, it just isn't! ! I can see your point in noting that McCaffrey is relatively clean in comparison, but even that presupposes the "un-human" is incapable of learning from a huge mistake, or that he of a more pristine image is not capable of crossing lines once his pockets are full of NFL dollars. Dude we're talking about football players!! A substantial investment with a shelf life usually not to exceed 4.5 -5 years. So since you bought it up, let's talk about it. Are you seriously suggesting that we NOT make our team as strong as possible because our front office is , from our perspective, dysfunctional? If so, I've got news! That perception is not shared inside of Ashburn where it counts most....with Bruce and because Bruce is still there Dan.That said, we agree that bringing the young man in for as many visits as it takes to "feel"him out is necessary. To me it's plain dumb to pre judge and take him off big boards, especially on a team where it appears that dismissing dysfunction seems to be the norm.
