I remember that there were some that wanted McCaffrey, but I seem to recall the bulk of the discussion/debate centered on Fournette v. Cook.

Though I thought McCaffrey would be a good weapon out of the backfield, I didnt think he was the between the tackles pounder the team wanted or needed in Fournette.

Admittedly, McCaffrey had a spectacular year last year, but I still have my doubts about his ability to consistently pound the ball between the tackles and convert short yardage.

Even knowing what you know now?

Why doesn't Cook's lack of durability/availability get held against him the way it has been against Fournette?

McCaffrey was one of the best backs in the country in between the tackles.  The only guys that wanted Cook was FSU fans.  There was a reason he was a top 10 pick, he was much more than just a reciever out of the backfield.  He was and is a great runner as well, you dont have to be a power back to be good between the tackles, LT and Faulk.  If we wanted a back we should of taken the best back regardless of style, that was McCaffrey.  You dont beat Barry Sanders record by accident, you have to be a special player and he showed it on the field every week and its showing in the pros as well, not to mention it's in his blood.
