You have to draft a player with 100% conviction of where he is going to play. Thats draft 101. And i think if the Bolts drafted McCaffrey he's being viewed as a WR first. 3rd down back 2nd. Returner and back up starting RB. You drafted a playmaker in Gordon. You draft McCaffrey...another playmaker.... to get him on the field the field at the same time as Gordon. If you are going to go back and forth with carries it just makes no sense to me. You draft your backup RB in the middle rounds. You look to hit on the David Johnson steals of the draft. RB is very deep this year.
At #7 there is no reason why you cant draft a player you add to your 11, to play alongside the other playmakers. Allen, Henry and Gordon. You put McCaffrey on the field at the same time as those guys. You use him in the slot. You line him up outside where he creates a mismatch with a safety or LB. Use him on Jet Sweeps and end arounds like Harvin used to be used. You use him like Cobb used to be used. All while being one of the best returners in the league. Look at the impact Tyreek Hill had in KC and his stats were not even close to what McCaffrey could put up. You can use him in a similar way.
Hes a 3 down player. And occasionally spells Gordon. But Gordon is going to be a monster. If you want to make McCaffrey and Edelman/Woody type fine. But he better be a complimentary playmaker that stays on the field or id just prefer we go after a guy like Corey Davis. Or Samuel in the 2nd.
