OT - Christian McCaffery Going Pro

So you wouldn't take Fournette if we had a high 1st rounder?

Fournette needs to learn to get low. He runs really upright and that style will get him killed within a couple of NFL seasons. But I'd gladly spend a first on him because that is something that is coachable.

No I would take Tim Williams

Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott say "heyooo, bruh"!

Not sure how to divvy up the credit between the Oline and Elliott.

Darren McFadden ran for 1089 yards on 239 attempts last year behind that OL. Plus 40 receptions. 4.6 YPC.

If I subtract Elliot's most recent game vs Vikings to get a similar number of attempts...

Elliott would be at 243 carries and 1199 yards. Plus 24 receptions. 4.9 YPC.

They're just giving the ball to Elliott more. McFadden started 10 of 16 games while Elliott has started every one so far.

That OL is definitely the MVP for the Cowboys. Not Dak or Zeke.

What a great analysis.

CISGS said:

Honest to God, I can't remember a prospect who seems more like a Patriot than this kid.

Obviously it wouldn't be drafting a need (if he is even there) but this dude is like a jacked up Edelman.

Jabril Peppers (Michigan)??

Darren McFadden could have been an amazing RB if he wasn't on such awful Raider teams for most of his career. He had the potential to be like LaDainian Tomlinson, but without all the crying.

We need a center. No offense to Andrews, he's undersized. The outside rush is not as bad on Brady as the inside rush.

Sign Draft the beast.

DL has to be priority, especially with the realistic chance of landing a blue chip prospect. After that we could do with an OT and ILB or two.

I agree 100%. Unless a stud CB falls to us, we need to be targeting big sturdy d linemen at #32.

The best center in the draft is pocic of LSU. He more than held his own against Alabama and not many centers can say that. He is a second or third rounder and really tall for a center, but I like his game.

Would be nice. But with his dad a Bronco?

Ed McCaffery. WR in the Shanny/Elway era. Very good player.

We must be watching a different Nate Solder because I think he gives up the most pressures from his side good thing Brady knows Solder's tendencies.

Solder is not infallible for sure. But some of those plays were designed for Brady to get rid of the ball quickly. Unfortunately sometimes his receiver isn't open and he's forced to go through the progression.
