    Lets try to keep this out of taboo, but to your comment; usually white guys just aren't that quick to succeed as NFL RB's. Thats why you dont see many white CB's either. We're better suited for the trenches or outside as Safteys and WR's.

    But McCaffery is a different story, he will be a good NFL RB.

    Hopefully the Rams give us a top 5 selection next year and we can grab Myles Garrett.

    You think we'll need another edge rusher?

    Not grouping based on race. I was slightly kidding with that comment. There are definitely athletic white guys who are faster/quicker than blacks and Hispanics and Asians and vice vice vice versa. Just not common as NFL RBs. I remember the the high expectations for Toby Gerhart. I knew that wasn't going to work out. Same thing after Peyton Hillis' miracle season.

    I wouldn't be opposed to giving McCaffrey a look, just not in the first round and definitely not over the likes of Cook, Fournette, or even Chubb.

    You can never have enough pass-rushers in this pass happy league.

    I understand we have Orakpo/Morgan locked down, and we went out and drafted Dodd/Wallace. This kid though is a different breed, he has a lightening quick first step. Orakpo/Morgan are solid but injuries are starting to add up.

    You could be right but at this point in time Im praying like hell we're not in need of another pass rusher. The Morgan-Orakpo duo was one of the best before Morgans shoulder injury.

    Dodd was a good addition because you need 3 edge rushers in the event one is unavailable. But its a bad sign if we're picking another one of those types next April.

    McCaffery is a different breed, hes not your typical down hill Caucasian RB. I like to compare him to Marshall Faulk.

    Desmond King, Jalen Tabor, or Jabrill Peppers would be awesome to add to the secondary. Wouldn't mind pairing a CB w/ an elite WR like Mike Williams. Imagine if DGB breaks out and we add Mike Williams next year. We'd have two 6'4+ physical receivers on the outside... scary.

    Not really think of the possibilites of our front 7 and scheme diversity if everyone pans out. Morgan, Orakpo, Dodd all being able to move to DE on passing situations while keeping Myles Garrett and another OLB on the edges.

    I think you can't have enough.
