McCaffrey RB
#12
(04-17-2017, 09:53 AM)Au165 Wrote: He had one of the best lines? False.  He struggled when they had turnover? False. People confuse draftable lineman with good lines. They run a pro style offense, so teams draft their lineman because they are more pro ready, similar to Wisconsin, but it doesn't mean they are good hence them not really doing much in the NFL besides DeCastro.

His yards per attempt were up this year and he scored more rushing TDs. The only decline for him this year was in usage not in production (253 carries to 337). I am going to say it since most people won't, if he was black he'd be a sure fire top 15 pick and no one would question it. The guy averaged 6.3 yards a carry this year in a power 5 conference! The same stigma black QBs had up until a couple years ago, white running backs still have. The only reason I am opposed to him for us is I don't think we will use him to his full potential, but the kid should be in the discussion with all the top backs, all he did was produce.

He averaged less than 4.5 ypc when he faced even remotely decent defenses.  Much of the Pac 12 is defense-optional.  Washington shut him down and they weren't what anyone would call a powerhouse defense.  Stanford's line is an excellent line and their scheme has a lot of formations where TEs stay in to block as well.  

This has nothing to do with race.  Someone else said it about him being similar to Gio. He's taller, but that just means he will have a larger target area.  I don't know if he could withstand the rigors of being an inside rusher.  I did say he was an amazing receiver, but I guess you can do that if you are white.   Sarcasm

And he is in the discussion of the top backs.  I am just one that wouldn't take any back that high.
