No clue. CMC has been injured a bit going to a team whose RBs are always always injured. What could go wrong here....

Bean certainly was not going to give this up

THey have 1 2nd and I think 3 3rds (Saleh & McDaniel Comp picks)

multiple day 2 picks....that's a lot

What's a map and compass?

You are going to hate this response, I even do. I entirely agree with what you are saying and it is 100% spot on, but I disagree in this instance with this team. (This isn't geared towards you personally, I'm speaking generally) There isn't a stat or anything you can really toss out there to make a point why you should, because im not sure one exists. The question that needs to be answered is, will he be impactful enough out of the backfield as a rb or a wr to challenge the coverages being played against us to either open it up for other players or for him to be the player to make a play which will then drawn some more attention of the defenders and DC. I'm not sure how that gets quantified and that is where I'm at. We certainly aren't going to run the ball more than we do, not by much at least over the course of any season. But if he is a more effective as a pass catcher out of the backfield and can make defenders miss enough, that should open things up more for single coverage on diggs or Davis and even open the underneath up more for Knox and wr3. Right?

Beane will trade picks from the current draft only, does not like to trade from future years. I'm too lazy to look this statement up to verify it, but I'm fairly certain Beane scouted CMC and we did kick the tires in the offseason. With the growth of McD in being more aggressive on offense this year than in years past, the more playmaker you have the better, the harder to defend you are, the better; this does make sense on some levels. There was some worry that with Dabs moving on, we would look to run more this year, we haven't really. Dorsey being a fabulous college qb with a loaded roster at every position has kept the foot on the gas. One of the hallmarks of those Miami teams was having crazy talent at every position which made it very hard to defend and allowed you to still keep the foot on the gas no matter who was out or who was being doubled. It's the same thing here, make us near impossible to defend. That along with a good D will make us really hard to beat. With where our roster currently stands, I think you can part with 1 pick this year without any type of catastrophic hole being opened. Correct! It's the rb position and running game that people get tripped up on, I'm not saying run more, but he'll if a team wants to stay in dime and have a deep zone shell, I'm pounding the rock to get you out of it. You want to stop the run or double diggs and cover Davis up, I'm hitting ny te, rb or wr3, you want to blitz, enjoy the cmc screen....

Meh, not sure you necessarily take touches away from other players, I actually think it may allow some other players to have more touches by having the defense roll more coverage to take cmc away or at least pay more attention to him that Devin and certainly Moss. This of course relies upon cmc making more plays than our current stable of rbs for the DC to even care. It's not about taking touches from other position groups, again unless he is left in favorable matchups. It just makes the offense even harder to defend, could even open the screen game up a bit more.

I'm sure there are some on this board who want a better running attack, I have been on team give me IOL help for awhile now. When it comes to what the offense needs, not just because something is missing, but it should be another way to make a defense chose their poison. I do think an OBJ would be great as a 3rd WR for us and push Shakir, Crowder, McK to a 4th WR. They will very likely be better than the 4th db lined up on them. To have a better receiving option out of the back field, might have some merit. It's hard to compare a player in 1 offense vs another based of different players and who the defense is trying to take away, but Yac/reception is where I have looked. Singletary has a career average of 6.7 yac/r and cmc has 7.98 yac/r. That's a pretty good difference between them and I think adds a better attacking element to our passing offense and is someone who will command some attention and either free up diggs, Knox, davis, and wr3 based on the attention the defense has to pay to cmc over DS or if not, he is a more capable pass catcher. Cmc has a 80.9% catch rate vs DS 76.3%. He has also caught like 3x as many passes. I'm looking at this as how does it open our offense up more by recalling making the defense make a decision to stay in single coverage or to give us multiple players who can make you pay. I wouldn't break the bank for cmc as far as trade value goes, but it is something I would strongly look at for the right price. He does open some stuff up for us...

So are we keeping tre or trading him? Lol Nice write up as usual!

You forgot to add an increased faith in the defense. You have to be able to hedge your bet on bring aggressive offensively. Yes we had the number 1 defense last year, but the improvement by revamping the DL is a huge part of the aggressiveness by McD...

Carolina vs. Denver superbowl is when it happened. I have been waiting to post the gif at an appropriate time (which is hard to find now lol)

hot garbage - these teams and their coaching staffs are awful...

he's better than both the coaches tonight, hell almost of u son the board would be better than these 2 dolts.... FWIW, He isn't getting a HC job this year, needs a couple more years IMO

won't hurt him at all 🙄

As a DC, would more attention be given to CMC or DS? How does that affect the other pass catchers on the field?

And OBJ. IDC it's about winning the Superbowl this year - Diggs Davis OBJ and CMC burn it all this season

And he said??

Comes down to what the final cap number is and what discount if any he is willing to accept, I do not see a market value contract for him. Milano could have made more and chose to stay, poyer will be in the same boat. I'm not giving up Oliver for him and I'm not sure I would give up on Edmunds for him either, his position is much easier to replace in our scheme Fwiw, I am more apt to pay an "aging" player at safety than at cb, wr, rb, etc.

This was very disappointing to read...
