No, it's fan speculation, nothing more.

God I pray Jax takes Fournette and Carolina takes McCaffrey. End the nonsense early.

I look at mccaffery as a runner mid to low 2nd round ability. Add his receiving ability and he is now high to mid 2nd round ability. Add in his return ability and now he has 1st round potential.

A gadget RB is hillman. Who has speed but is a 3rd down back. He has be used for special offensive plays here and there.

McCaffery is an offensive weapon. He can be split out to slot. Line in back field. He can be played on slow LB. He is a gem for a good OC. Imagine what belicheat would do with him. He would be a scarier version of wes welker because you must account for him at all times and he can sneak out of backfield.

And he can fill the returner hole.

It is now.

I'm on Twitter a lot for NFL news and I had never heard anything about this "rumor" until I saw this thread.

That's likely what will happen (though, there is starting to be talk that it happens in reverse order of what you posted)

I contend that you should shut the **** up.

I'd be surprised if two running backs went that high. Maybe it speaks to the quality at other positions, I don't know. That just goes against what seems to be the prevailing theory on the position the last 10 years.

I disagree.

I think that's exactly what it is honestly. This draft is so mediocre across the board. There are a few elite players peppered throughout the draft, but for the most part, there is no depth to the draft, it's all high end talent, no middle or late talent. There is a big drop off from the guys who are going early to even the guys who are going in the 2nd or 3rd round. Just no depth in this draft at all and the "high end" guys probably would be 2nd or 3rd rounders in most normal drafts.

Why don't you like the Caff?

McCalf is more of a device RB than a gadget RB. I wish people would quit getting this wrong. A gadget RB breaks immediately after the warranty because gadgets are space-age and fancy but not known for their durability.

And this is when I tune out forums, social media, and media outlets on tv until draft day lol, you start hearing the dumbest trade ideas ever around this time. The Broncos are going to trade there most talented quarterback, for a RB and pretty much stick themselves with Trevor the rest of the way in a offense that does not even fit Trevor skill set.

See you guy's on draft day! I am so looking forward to it, but I have no desire for all the crazy trade talk that's obviously coming. What would a QB guy like Arians want with a QB with a poor work ethic that they would give up #13 for him? Smh

This is likely just a dumb rumor with zero substance, but it's not totally unthinkable that the FO has already made up their mind on Paxton.

You trade up in the first to draft a QB and then during the off season while he's working his ass off you deem his work ethic an issue? Does thjs even make a ounce of sense? Do you know how much of a joke Elway would look like as a GM? It's almost disrespectful to entertain these kind of BS stories because it makes elway and company look dumb.
