McCaffrey didn't get a lot of opportunities last year but all reports are highly optimistic. Kid is tough and has hands:

Jacorey Brooks also could get in the mix and was inexplicably not drafted. Noah Brown is back also and is decently productive. Think he can be moreso with the Deebo acquisition.
I have said before in this forum that I don't mind getting Lane but would have preferred Swinson. No one knows who the better player is of the 2 so it is premature for you to assert that. What we do know is edge and defense were more of a need than wr. |
As I said I loved the Deebo trade and expect him to blow up this year. But after that then what? A year from now he will be 30 with a history of slacking off after getting paid with a larger injury risk. He will also demand to be paid top of the market and smart organizations do not give top of the market contracts to 30 year olds with his history.
They also do not reach to fill immediate needs and I think this organization feels this way as well. I believe them when they said they took the highest rated player on their board and have no reason not to.
All of your other players mentioned are either JAGS or completely unproven. McCaffery was getting opportunities and then was relegated to returning kicks. Coaches know more than fans, they see things we do not see and they obviously saw something with McCaffery. I'd be happy to be wrong here but expecting him to become a legit WR2 is speculation.
Nope other than Terry and one year of Deebo I don't see how anyone can say this WR group was solid before the draft.
