    You guys still want McCaffrey in the first 2 rounds?

    Only 10 bench presses.. 2nd worst. Anyone trust him to protect Ben?

    He better put up some blazing fast 40 times.

    3rd round or no thanks

    He can probably increase his strength, but his speed, not so much.

          He would be a great fill in skill-wise for Bell, so yes I want him, but only if there are no better possible starters available.

          Bill Polian was talking about him and said he would have been able to play ahead of any slot WR that Indy had back then, that's how good of a receiver he is. He could step right in if Bell was injured/suspended and at least offer that threat so the offense doesn't have to change too much.

            Blocking is about leverage, not chest strength. A better indicator of strength would be squat and the clean and jerk. I hate the bench press because no one stands there and pushes with just their arms.

              That might be true but bench is still a indicator of strength to me. I never played high school football. But lifted like a "body builder" starting in like 7th grade. At 195-200lbs right around 18-19yr old my max bench was 300. And I had a ton of functional strength from all the sports I played along with working out. That strength I still use today at almost 40 at my job.

              Anyway never squated or cleaned much back in the lifting days. The really long arm disadvantage still holds true for some of the tall guys on bench. But still shows work that was put into working out. And McCaffery looks built and worked out like a WR would I bet. So I would compare him to WR's and CB's. And no I don't think he will be a great blocker. But with technic, heart, leverage can make him ok at it. But Who wants a play maker blocking in the backfield anyway?
              oh and no I can't see him as the best player of need on the board at 30. But would have a hard time passing in the 2nd depending who else and position there.

                If Conner is there in the 4th i would take a shot. Not the fastest but jump cut is there size n vision is above average. Beat cancer ......a winner imho.

                  Bill Belicheck won't care. He'll draft this weakling and turn him into the Rookie of the Year.
                  Obviously the standard is the standard.

                        No Mixon today because of incident. That was 3 years ago and kid deserves chance to put that in rear view mirror so I would want to check out his pro day. No issues since and he has game. Mixon I would believe would not last to our 4th not sure he makes it to us in the 3rd but if he has his act together he would be good value in the 3rd n fill a need.

                              Considering how he dominated in both RB and WR drills at the combine, I wouldn't have a problem with taking him at 30...
                              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
