I give you the following...


Alex, what is I'll take another wide receiver in the first round?




Well, one could argue he's responsible for the Dallas Cowboys Mini-Dynasty, even though he was Vikings GM!




Got a second chance with the same organization - hires Ole Ball Coach Spurrier...




Yeah, I know, Ditka wanted it, but it's still the GM that signs off on it; what's worse, he should have learned from Mike Lynn's Herschel Walker trade!

Lol okay, competent GM's know a hell of a lot more.

I disagree that there's a clear hole at RB...

Last year we supposedly had a great corps...

We returned everyone but a reclamation back...

With Adrian Peterson, Karlos Williams, LeGarrette Blount, Bobby Rainey, and yes, even Reggie Bush among other options for No. 2 RB, don't see it imperative to have to take a RB...

I do believe out offense could go to another level though with Christian McCaffrey...

I agree. I am becoming more and more enamored with McCaffrey every day. I wouldn't be at all upset if we took him at #11. I doubt if he will make it past the bottom third of the first round.

I've been screaming for defense but McCaffrey is a perfect toy for Payton. Then draft defense until the 7th when we get a project O-lineman.

I agree, again. Way too many three and out the past couple of years. With a versatile player like McCaffrey there could be so many options on third down. There would always be mismatches somewhere, and unlike Fleener, he would take advantage of them.
