The Frankish Reich Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 MC Caff is going to be a awesome, under hyped player like Woodhead or Sproles. Or he will fade into obscurity quickly. I hope atleast 2 QB's are taken before us. Trade back or get the BPA. Hopefully our next GM will smart belecheckin his roster and deal before we lose em for nothing. I'd say his floor is Giovanni Bernard. His ceiling? Hard to say, but Marshall Faulk isn't crazy ... that kind of talent is well worth a top 10 pick.

yungmack Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The OP makes sense. For the last week, people have been going nuts about losing MG and who's going to replace him. And loads of fans have been obsessing on the need for a WR. McCaffrey fills both roles on a high level. Plus he's a quality return man. And he's exactly McD's type of player. Picking him at 10 is not at all crazy. If he's there at 10, it won't be a shock if the Bills take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 He played over 40% of his snaps from the slot and that's what he was brought to Buffalo to do. Holmes is going to play the outside opposite Sammy with Brown in the slot. The Bills aren't taking McCaffrey. If they don't take a WR at 10 (which looks likely) OJ Howard could be an option. This is one year I'm totally clueless what they will do in the draft. It could be WR, CB, S, LB or OT. Or a TE, QB. They have played the smokescreen game very well. Watch them take a DL. And I would be cool with that too. Kyle can't play forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 zero chance he is the pick Do people like you punish yourselves if you're wrong or do you just leave the derision for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 the last time a white RB was relevant we were watching black and white tv He is not strictly a RB. He will be used like Edelman or Hill in KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I don't think Mcaff would be a bad pick if they can find a way to utilize him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 He is not strictly a RB. He will be used like Edelman or Hill in KC. Agreed, but where were those guys drafted (and I realize that Hill might have gone in the 3rd but for the baggage)? He is a premium talent (not to mention a really great kid) and in the right system he could well flourish. But I think you can find guys to fill that role in the pros sooner than find a franchise back like AP or LF, who is IMO the only RB likely to go top 10.

The Frankish Reich Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 the last time a white RB was relevant we were watching black and white tv Well, there's an enlightened comment. Draft only black RBs, white QBs, Pacific Islander defensive tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsaikotic Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Curtis Samuel in the second I think I'd rather take Curtis Samuel in the 2nd/3rd for this role than McCaffrey at 10. Better value, similar skill set. I wouldn't mind Samuel...do you think it would be bad idea to get Mike Williams @10 and Samuel @44 or 75?...Mike Mayock has Samuel tied for 5th best RB on his latest top 5 list Edited April 22, 2017 by Tsaikotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also play RB which would be fantastic for this team. He's very fast and explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was the only WR we got I would personally be ok with that. He was really good at WR in college (and RB). He's not a between the tackles guy at RB, but you can absolutely line him up in the backfield. Him with Shady and TT with DiMarco blocking would be nasty to defend.

Manther Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 No thank you for gadget players in the first round. Let alone top ten. I don't want McCaffrey in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 He's not even a Top 30 player according to NFL.com. It sure would be Billsy to take him 10 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 He's an excellent prospect. The only real knock on him is that he's not very powerful, but that has never been his game. His ability to sidestep/juke guys is pretty ridiculous. But come on, he is not the missing piece in Buffalo. Not even close. It would be pretty cool if he ended up in Denver. There is mutual interest, but they would likely need to trade up to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 .......Metcalf and Meggett had pretty productive careers with a similar skill set....but, can't see Bflo taking him in 1st or even later............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
