    Default McShay's Top 32: Christian McCaffrey rising up the board

    Even though this is on ESPN insider, which I have not joined, there is a great video on here showing what all Christian can do.

    McShay wouldn't know a top end bubble if it sat on his face.

    Read that McCaffery wants to be a bronco and told elway this during his visit. I would love to see him a broncos but elway can't trade up too high for him. Could mccaffery pull off an elway draft day trade and force a team to trade him to broncos?

    Christian McCaffrey sent a clear message to the Denver Broncos.

    Upon showing up to Dove Valley for last week's official visit, the Stanford offensive weapon "let the Broncos know that if he’s still around by then, he wants that No. 20 draft slot," 9News' Mike Klis reported.

    McCaffrey came "dressed to the nines" in a dark suit and red tie for his meeting with the Broncos, which boiled down to a formal interview. Standing on his prior numbers, McCaffrey has declined private workouts for teams on pre-draft visits.

    But he didn't have to prove himself, at least for the Broncos. They know full well what McCaffrey's capable of, having met with him at the Scouting Combine and attended his Pro Day last month. His appearance reportedly was "expected," as the former Valor Christian Academy star and son of Ed has been training nearby this offseason.

    McCaffrey arrived shortly before Paxton Lynch and Trevor Siemian held individual press conferences, and his drop-by caused the quarterbacks to address their potential future teammate.

    “Obviously, he is a great player,’’ said Lynch, per 9News. “You see him all over ESPN making these ridiculous plays. Wherever he ends up, if it’s here, I’m sure we’ll all be grateful to have him here. You’ve got a guy like Demaryius and Emmanuel to learn from, too, which would be very beneficial to him. I’m sure wherever he ends up, he’s going to help the organization.”

    “He’s a good player, obviously,’’ Siemian said. “Wherever he goes he’s going to have a ton of success. I don’t know what the draft board looks like up there. Again, Elway has got a better answer for you. I’m looking forward to what he does in the league.”

    Once considered a fringe first-round prospect, McCaffrey's stock has steadily surged in recent weeks. The latest rumor du jour has the Carolina Panthers nabbing him at No. 8 overall. If he escapes Carolina's clutches, the Philadelphia Eagles (14), Indianapolis Colts (15) and Washington Redskins (17) could also break the Broncos' heart.

    It's possible, but not probable, that Denver moves up multiple spots to secure McCaffrey's services. It would be costly -- at least a third-round pick -- but general manager John Elway has never shied away from getting his man.

    Apparently, McCaffrey has made his case. It's now Elway's call.

    I don't doubt that McCaffrey would love to be a Bronco for a number of reasons but, gawdamitey, every college player tells every NFL team they'd love to play for them. It's the right thing to say when you're applying for a job.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    McCaffrey would love to be a Bronco. It's not rocket science. Think about when you first felt the rapture of the NFL. Now imagine you are a royal scion of that lineage.

    Doubt he is ever a Bronco, but it's quickly becoming a fantasy, and that is unhealthy.

    He could be Elway 2.0. In 1983, Elway refused to accept to be a Colt and wanted to be traded. Broncos got Elway. Same pattern for Christian McCaffrey? Heh.

    There is no chance a running back whose slated to go between 10-20 is going to demand that he will only play for one team. Getting christian on the broncos just isn't going to happen, we cannot afford to trade up for a RB/slot receiver. Especially when a guy like Cook or Mixon can fall right in your lap.

    Actually we can easily afford to trade up. We have lots of picks and can move up just not too far. I would not be suprised if elway moved up using our comp 3rd.

    He'd be a great 2nd round pick, I like him a lot, but I'm not sure I want the Broncos compounding their 2nd round mistakes by taking 2nd rounders in the 1st.

    Duke Johnson, Gio Bernard, even LeSean McCoy if you're feeling generous...all 2nd and 3rd round picks. That's where you take that kind of RB.

    Trade up to Top 10 for a gadget RB with a ton of mileage? That's weapons grade stupid.

    I feel ya. I think he's a tad overhyped as well, but I believe in him. Would I Mixon > McCaff? Nah, man. But I feel ya.
