This is what I thought with Gurley as well. Of course he made me eat those words as a rookie and then slumped like no other as a sophomore. So who really knows. But I thought all those injuries in college would continue at the NFL level.
McCaffrey is a bit difficult to judge. First of all we aren't use to seeing a white RB. And it just feels weird to be talking about a white RB being that highly drafted.
I just don't want the god damned Eagles to get him, he's surely one of my pet cats at this point.
I think he'll be a bigger Danny Woodhead. Something like what we hoped Felix Jones would be. But that's not worth a 1st rounder to me.
Depends on the team. With the Patriots? Well worth the late first.
I dont think it's worth it for them either. Their pass rush sucks, they need to figure QB of the future out if Garrapolo is gone and they always seem to get productivity out of their backs. He'd be nice for them, but not a lot more than they got out of Vereen a few years ago and they let him walk.
You don't understand how Belichick loves him some smart white guy players.
Waaaaaaaay better then Vereen. Better then Dion Lewis circa 2015. And better then Woodhead.
That Bradford trade was so unbelievably dumb for the Vikes.
IMO, Jaylon Smith and Chaz Green are going to get shots at starting someday before we look to fill spots early. I think DL is a given for our picks.
Collins/Crawford/McClain (assuming we re-sign him)/Thornton and Irving at times is a fine DT rotation. Obviously if the BPA is a DT you don't pass it up but I think DE and LB are clearly bigger needs, although if Smith is somehow healthy and ready to go in training camp then LB really isn't much of a need.
I agree with Smith.
It isn't even a hindsight thing. Most people were calling it idiotic when it happened
