Christian McCaffrey's 5 best fits in 2017 NFL Draft (Pick No. 11 or No. 32)

New Orleans is in play for the hometown hero Fournette, but there's a strong chance he'll be gone before that initial first-rounder. And really, McCaffrey is the better all-around back for the Saints' offense, so the question is: Are they willing and able to a) use that higher pick on him b) trade down from 11th to get him at a more comfortable spot or c) trade up from 32nd to get him before he's gone, too?

The span between the picks also represents the wide range of McCaffrey's current draft value. Having two high picks post-Brandin Cooks gives the Saints a chance to address a defensive need early and also go offensive luxury to address their closing window with Drew Brees at the helm. Given how Mark Ingram disappointed last season, a back of McCaffrey's caliber is more of a necessity than they would like to admit.

McCaffrey would have a big, immediate impact with any role in a loaded, rebooted attack.
