Yet Grigson takes him in the 4th rd. Holy shit, I'm so glad that Grigson is gone.

Yep, that was his officially recorded time last year:

Sounds like Grigson gave his comments on him as well:

"Sources Tell Us "Write him up however you want, but he's a two-down MIKE linebacker who is tough as hell and a good football player. I worry much less about his 'negatives' than I do with what he can do." -- AFC general manager"

Goodness, yes! I hope it is a smokescreen as well.

While I like McCaffery A TON and think he will be a pretty good "jack of all trades" type of RB in the NFL, I don't want him this year. The chance to get an elite pass rusher at 1-15 is TOO GOOD to pass up.

RB in the 4th round in 2017 and then, if the fixes go well on defense to bring it up to NFL average, then I would be good with RB early in 2018 as the replacement for Frank Gore.

But not this year.

Cheers,

We have too many issues at ILB, OLB, CB where these are all strengths of this draft....we should be making every effort to maximise the fact this aligns with the major strengths in this years draft and maybe double up on a couple of those positions. Certainly in my mind we need 2 CB's and 2 LB's as a minimum from the first 4 rounds. That still leaves 2 picks to use on other issues, such as a NT/DE or a RB. Hopefully we can come out of this draft with the potential of 6 realistic starters, if not all immediately, at some point in the future.
