Ittakestime Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 There is more and more talk of Christian McCaffrey going high (top 10). I think he may be a pick that the Bills make and no one expects it, but makes complete sense. Both the Bills FA WR pick ups that will contribute next year (Holmes and Philly Brown) are outside WR. The Bills are still lacking that shifting slot WR and with the way Dennison has described his offense (roll outs and play actions), it is a need. They has been some chatter that teams are seeing McCaffrey as someone that can play that role really well. Not to mention he can also run the ball. With Gilly probably gone, McCaffrey could run the ball 5-6 times a game, and then play the slot in 3 WR sets. You would get much more impact from him then just a typical outside WR.

Ittakestime Posted April 22, 2017 Author Posted April 22, 2017 Brown is a slot receiver Did his damage on the outside in Carolina.
Watkins_deep Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Spiller! Hes a waterbug Id literally be happier with bolles at ten
Kirby Jackson Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Did his damage on the outside in Carolina. He played over 40% of his snaps from the slot and that's what he was brought to Buffalo to do. Holmes is going to play the outside opposite Sammy with Brown in the slot. The Bills aren't taking McCaffrey. If they don't take a WR at 10 (which looks likely) OJ Howard could be an option.

YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Mccaffrey as a WR will do well with a QB in a precise, timing offense like NE, LA Chargers, NO.... he isn't a fit with TT strengths. Imo
Lothar Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Well, Chris Brown didn't refute the possibility: CB: You’re right it wouldn’t be popular, but it wouldn’t be a reach or outlandish pick at all. I’m pretty confident McCaffrey goes in the top 10 somewhere. Personally I don’t think he gets past Carolina at eight. The reason why he’s so valuable is because in addition to his elite physical skill set is he can legitimately be lined up at receiver in addition to running back. He can also help on returns. So a player with his multi-faceted production and athletic measurables to match signals top 10 talent. Not to mention his dad had a successful career in the league with Denver. If the Bills pick him the narrative will be, ‘here they go again replacing running backs like they did with McGahee and Marshawn and Spiller.’ If the Bills don’t match the Gillislee offer sheet that line of criticism will be even louder. What will be lost in such a scenario is the veritable matchup nightmare McCaffrey would be no matter where he lines up on the field. I believe he’s an elite talent, so he fits the value at 10.

I believe he’s an elite talent, so he fits the value at 10. exactly. so many people desperately want a WR but think McCaffrey would be terrible because we are picking another "RB" when in reality he is so much more. There is no reason why he couldn't be Marshall Faulk for us. Edited April 22, 2017 by Buffalo Barbarian
metzelaars_lives Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 I'll give the OP credit- I think it's less crazy than I did before I read his post.
YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I think I'd rather take Curtis Samuel in the 2nd/3rd for this role than McCaffrey at 10. Better value, similar skill set. Edited April 22, 2017 by YoloinOhio
billspro Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 He might end up being the best WR in the draft. He also happens to be the best third down RB in the draft as well. We don't know how creative Denison is yet but with the right OC McCaffrey will be dominant. He fits the versatility that we like in players as well. He also has the best jump cut since Shady McCoy.
The Frankish Reich Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 If McCoy weren't around (or if we could make him not be around; hey, any trade offers out there?), I'd love to see McCaffrey here. But that ain't happenin' ...
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) MC Caff is going to be a awesome, under hyped player like Woodhead or Sproles. Or he will fade into obscurity quickly. I hope atleast 2 QB's are taken before us. Trade back or get the BPA. Hopefully our next GM will smart belecheckin his roster and deal before we lose em for nothing.

I just would never take a woodhead or sproles day 1 I would however take a harvin without the baggage. I've never been on this guy as harvin explosive but I've never slotted them up for comparison either really
