This is still my favorite RB in the draft.  I think he turns out to be an all pro RB at the next level.  My dream draft would have him falling to our 2nd pick but I wouldnt mind it if Dave traded back into the 1st to draft this guy.  Here is him training for the combine.  He gonna be good

McCaffrey*

---

He's going to be really good if he's in the right scheme, but RB at 35 is still too rich for my blood in this draft. Surely one of Feeney, Lamp, Garcia, or maybe even Bolles will be there I can't pass on a stud OL prospect for a RB when we can still get a really good one in round 3 or 4.

My hope is Tom wants to fix the oline in FA and not rely on a rookie so we can go else where in the draft in the early rounds.  Jamal Adams in the 1st and McCaffrey in the 2nd and a guy like Pocic in the 3rd would be a realistic dream draft for me

I would sign one big FA OL and draft one in the 2nd round too. We can't sign two big FA OL cause you just can't pay 4 OL ~10 mil, after extending Linder and Beachum. 

 

The ultimate dream would be JPP and Wagner FA then Adams, Feeney/Lamp, and Hunt in the drafts first two days.

JPP and Wagner would be great with my draft.  

 

Beachum-Cann-Linder-Pocic-Wagner and let Parnell compete with Wagner and both guard spots.  I actually think Parnell might be a decent guard.

Why is 35 too high for a good RB? If Christian McCaffrey is projected as a first rounder and drops into the second, picking him there is not reaching for need.

That's not bad, I just really love Feeney and Lamp. If one is there I'm not passing on them. I'm also worried about all of the draftniks who are posting about Pocic's lack of anchoring, and Elflein I'm not in love with either. If we miss on Feeney/Lamp I'm not sure if there is another guard I would trust to be a long time starter. There are like 15 RB I think could be long term starters. 

 

I have also wondered how Parnell would be at guard. I'd work him out there if we get Wagner or someone like Moton.

---

I'd like to see us sign Warford/Zeitlar, one or maybe both, keep Linder at center. 

 

I think we need to resign Cyp if we are staying in cover 3. SS is not a need and Cyp played well last year. 

 

I'm starting to think that Allen might fall for 4 and we can snatch em up. Move DFJ to strong side LB. 

 

San Fran and Chicago are super desperate at QB and someone is going to reach for Trubiski or Watson, both of those teams are foolish enough to do it too. I didn't think Ramsey would fall to us either, but there he was at 5. Can anyone really say they would pass on Allen at 4?

---

Calling Deshawn Watson a future bust since 3/19/17. If I eat crow, I will keep this in here and proclaim JackCity a genius. 

 Can anyone really say they would pass on Allen at 4?

Yeah they definitely could. Solomon Thomas is very similar stylistically, and while I think Allen is going to test very well at the combine, Thomas will probably test even better. 

 

Allen could also be red flagged medically due to having at least two shoulder surgeries and rumors of a third.

This guy has New England Patriots written all over him. If he's there when they pick I can see Belichick taking him. 

---

Yup. I am thinking teams like Oakland, Green Bay & New England will keep an eye on this kid in RD1. All three of those teams have a need at the RB position to an extent. Maybe not so much in New England. But the fact that he does have the skill set that Belichick covets in his RB's is exactly why it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up being the 32ND overall pick in April.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Assuming the Patriots want to start their draft with a RB. I don't know if it is a high priority to pick one at 32.

 

Plenty of other teams will be shopping for RBs. New England may have to trade up for him.

I agree.  If he slips that far, and we haven't drafted a RB with our first round pick, I would take him with our second round pick.   I don't see much difference between him and Dalvin Cook.  They seem like the same player- a smallish, shifty RB who can line up at RB or WR and is hard to tackle in the open field.

Yeah I don't know if the Patriots will be looking at a RB with their first pick but I think that's the kind of player that fits perfectly into what Belichick wants and in their system. He is an amazing fit the way they utilize their RB's out of the backfield (like Lewis and White do).

 

And at 32 he would be fair value, he would be one of the best available players at that point. If he'll be there of course. I don't think New England will trade up for him though, think they'll stay put and won't use other picks to move up a few spots. We'll see.

Dalvin Cook did not play a variety of positions. He was just a RB at FSU. If I wanted a RB/WR hybrid, I would pick someone who already is that.

but cook can line up outside so he is already that

That's good, but he would be a reach at #4.

Did you read the word "can" in there?   I said he can.  Not that he did.

Did you know that Cook recorded two games in 2016 with over 100 receiving yards?
