Very impressive combine so far

[rambo2]

Christian McCaffrey was the best route runner at the entire combine. This includes the receivers and the tight ends. If McCaffrey is on the board at 28, the Cowboys might take him. He can not be covered out of the backfield. He would be a nightmare for defenses.

The receivers and tight ends are very impressive. The Cowboys will draft a receiver. Ross should be off the board at 28. The Cowboys could grab one in the 2nd or 3rd round in a very deep group. Among the tight ends, Howard will be off the board at pick 28. Evan Ingram was outstanding today. Ingram will be in the mix at pick 28.

 

[Sydla]

Ummm no.

McCaffery will not be our pick at 28.

Back to back years spending the 4th overall and 28th overall on running backs......no I don't see that

Our TW replacement is at the Combine

He is a lot more than a running back. He can play 3 positions and return kicks as well.

 

[rambo2]

Ummm no.

McCaffery will not be our pick at 28.

He certainly would be considered and very well could be off the board already.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

So if we drafted him to be number 2 opposite Dez you think he should do better then our other receivers? What was his height at the combine by the way

They would draft him to play the 3 positions and return punts and kickoffs. He would get touches at running back, slot, and wideout. I don't know his height. He looks around 6 feet. He was the best route runner at the combine. I'd say that he goes between picks 20 and 28. They only draft him if he is their BPA at 28. He certainly could be.

Said it in another thread. Unless Hanna is done I don't see a high pick at TE this year.

"Nah, we're good. We've got James Hanna."

No way that happens. Not even close.

The Cowboys pick at 28 will be on the field tomorrow.

Basically we will draft for need this year even though people refuse to believe we do that

He measured in at 5-11 202 lbs.

He could no doubt play WR in the league.

It would be an interesting decision if he is very clearly the BPA at 28. I don't think Dallas would do it but if McCaffery agreed to play WR, they could get their replacement for T Williams and a game changing kick/punt returner who can also take snaps at RB if you want.

People seem to be ok with Dallas taking a WR in the first if they are BPA... but everyone would lose their mind if they took McCaffery because he has RB by his name.

I think he'd easily be a better #2 WR than Williams and is a match-up nightmare in many ways. Bubble screens, smoke routes, reverses... he'd be very dangerous. He'd change the field position in a hurry in the kicking game and just as a plain ol' #2 WR he could be very effective.

Having Dez, McCaffery and Beasley in three WR sets... well, there are worse things in this world.

Like I said, I don't think Dallas would do it and I have no idea if McCaffery would balk at playing WR instead of RB... but he is uber talented, competitive, smart, and has better hands than most WR's in the NFL. Catching is effortless for him. He's just so smooth in everything he does.

Simply the kind of guy you want on your team speaking both in terms of character as well as athleticism.

Anyway, just things to consider if he is there at 28 and is head and shoulders the best guy available.

If we have him BPA (by far) then somebody needs to be fired.

 

[AsthmaField]

If we have him BPA (by far) then somebody needs to be fired.

Why?

 

[stilltheguru88]

Why?

Because there's no way he's that far ahead of the guys who will be there. This draft is one of the deepest in years. he may be the BPA, but it won't be by a wide margin by any means.........in my opinion

CBS has him ranked 24. He could easily be the BPA at 28.

okay. I gotcha.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I said he wouldn't be by a wide margin. Look at the names around 24. Those are big time players. Take Zay Jones for example. If we have mcaffrey way better than him I give up.

I'm all for adding talent. I actually feel we can get a good to very decent wr later in the draft. I'm not against picking McCaffery by the way just don't think Dallas will. There is more to being a receiver then just running routes and catching smooth passes. Sorry but I don't think McCaffery is better then Williams as a NFL receiver right now. Could he develop that......yes I'm sure but we have no idea.

I'm OK with who we pick in the first round. If anything we know round 1 will be good. I don't think he is there anyways at 28, if we want him a trade up will have to happen
