Things I learned this year: (Gronk) When Hoodie tries to trade a player, it is for a reason. (CMC, Tyreek) Finding value means identifying bad narratives.   (D Williams, CJA, Conor/Samuels, J Williams) Unfortunately, RBs dont matter :(

Kinda feel like a top 3 doesnt tell the full story as it seems like the top tier is clearly 5 RBs.   PPR 1.  CMC.  Ceiling is unknown.  Never seen a RB with as many snaps + receptions (OPPORTUNITY) as he had this year.  All while never appearing on an injury report and only getting better as...

So far in pre-season, hes run the ball between the tackles 8 times at 7.1 YPC, outside twice at 4.5 YPC, and caught the ball twice.  One was a pass to him at the line of scrimmage with someone already draped over him, the other a 38 yard screen pass.  In a post-game interview, he described their...

Tier 1 Somewhat interchangeable among the top 3.  Pretty large gap after that. 1.  Corey Davis.  Top 5 pick.  Clear #1 target on the team.  Passes the eye test.  Paired with a stud young QB.  Nothing not to like here.  This was the ideal landing spot. 2.  Christian McCaffrey. Went to an...

Curtis Samuel is what CMAC haters think CMAC is.  He is a gadget / space player.  CMAC is a RB that can be utilized as a mismatch.  All the samuel pick does is stretch the field and make their offense better overall.   Gettleman compared CMAC's inside running to Curtis Martin's, who he referred...

If you were to weigh combine as more important than game film, cook would go undrafted. 

You are kind of missing the whole point with McCaffrey.  Being really good at both means that you can be a matchup player, which makes personnel decisions a nightmare for the defense.  Imagine offensive personnel is 2 WR, 2 TEs, and McCaffrey.  What does the defense call in response to...

Just to add to the discussion on when these players are actually getting drafted, I ended up with picks 1.01, 1.02, and 1.03.   Taking Fournette first, and then McCaffrey.  Extremely unlikely that anything in the draft changes those first two picks.  Third pick, I am debating between Davis...

It's his weight.  You just CANT be a feature back at 202 pounds.  Its impossible.  Look, I think McCaffrey is a special player, but I just dont see a work-horse back.  When I see him play, I see someone like... I dont know... Danny Woodhead.  Mostly a pass catching back.  Yeah, I think that...

Read an old article this morning in SI that I hadn't seen before.   http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/05/17/christian-mccaffrey-cant-be-summed-his-achievements " Last winter McCaffrey went undefeated in the 6 a.m. training competitions, from the obstacle course to the 10-yard fight...

Its possible, but still strange.  During combine interviews, he publicly declared himself the best RB in the class.  Confidence and nerves usually dont go hand in hand.  Also, the pass-catching drills should not be foreign to him and he looked pretty bad there too. I hope that Cook re-dos the...

If he gained 15 lbs for the combine, then his playing weight is 195.  That plus the shoulder injury history would make it pretty hard to believe he can be a 3-down back. If he was drunk the night before, then there are serious character concerns. If he didnt bother training for the combine...

Left him on my bench this week, but super glad I have him. Zero RB draft strat looking pretty nice.

Not feeling stupid anymore for my 7th round reach on Cooks. If this is his first game...
