It is so hard to pick on the kid because he is always on the field and does so much.
That is why went with PT and Wes to compare with. If PT and Wes genes were used to produce a child it would McCaffrey.
sure he would lacking in areas from both but you have admit being just a sophomore he will be fun to watch develop.
I get where you're coming from, and I'm not trying to be overly cynical, but I just think he kind of fits the mold of the college star who never does much at the next level. I get the feeling that he's pretty much maxed out. I feel the same way about a guy like Leonard Fournette, not in terms of what I think he'll do at the next level, but I mean I don't think Leonard can get much better at this level. The next step for him is learning the speed of the NFL, and that will only come with experience that he won't get until after next year.
Honestly, if McCaffrey is going to make it I think he would have to switch to receiver, altogether, and maybe have a chance to be a Wes Welker. But getting back to the original post about whether we should draft him (even though we can't this year), I wouldn't want to draft another project, unless it's late. He's got skill, I just don't like his build as a runner, and if he tried to add too much weight it might slow him down as he just doesn't have much of a frame to work with.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
