But if the defensive end Allen, OJ Howard, LF, and Thomas are all gone at number nine what do you think about trading down a few spots and taking McCaffrey?

McCaffrey seems like one of those running backs that can do just about anything. In addition he doesn't really need a good offensive line to cut it loose.

I guess for me it would depend on the haul we got for trading back.  If my guy Ross is gone at, say, 16 and the Bengals traded there but gained an additional 2nd rounder, I wouldn't really have a problem with it as I think he is an exceptional player.  He would immediately be your KR, PR, rotational back, and backup slot WR.  He is clearly the best receiving RB in the draft and that is a key piece.  He runs routes better than a lot of WRs.  

I just doubt they would really take any RB in the first round of this year.  I like him, and he is a solid character guy, but the only way I could see him ending up in stripes is if the Bengals traded back a couple times and took him in the 20s.
