#49ers Christian McCaffrey - Long injury history. BUT:

1) There's no anatomic pattern to his injuries
2) They aren't tied to lingering durability risk
3) RBs who catch have lower injury rate per play than RBs who rush
No RB is super safe, but CMC is as good a bet as any#NFL

That's fine. I was wrong, I didn't think they would spend up. The data isn't wrong though. And like I said CMC imo (which is all it is) was more about the passing game and schemes kyle can dial up NOT just running the ball…I said all this but I could careless about trying to prove it.

That's a good 1st quarter. How about the other 3 quarters?

That'll give him 8 tds. 8 per game is ok I guess

You do know that Banks has been a better run blocker as well as a better pass blocker than Tomlinson this season, right?
I am not arguing your second point as I agree with you. The draft is a crap shoot and we now have a proven commodity.
I just think that Banks has been getting an unfair shake just because he sat his rookie season. He has actually played well, especially as a pass protector.

So looking at CMC's injuries…the extent of it is a couple high ankle sprains, A/C joint sprain and hammy pull.
for whatever reason I thought the dude tore his ACL or achilles. I mean sprains suck and can reoccur but not as bad as what I initially thought.
There's a weird injury narrative out around him. He basically got ran into the ground by Rhule.

Because they need to hear ESPN and NFLN say he's good before they believe what their eyes tell them.

Seriously. The guy has been great so far this year. He hasn't allowed a sack or a QB hit yet.

Cowherd made a decent point in that all the picks we gave up for him would have a difficult time making this roster. Intriguing thought
Literally all but 1 pick made the roster this year. Don't listen to Cowherd. He's a moron.
That's kind of twisting things to make the draft picks given up seem less important. Obviously the skill positions will be hard to crack as a rookie, but there's always a chance to upgrade depth whether it's OL, DB, or DL with those draft picks. Not having those picks will hurt but if CMC is a stud on the field then it's all worth it.
In the last two drafts we've picked 11 players in rounds 2-5 and Huf is the only one who isn't a backup-level player. Maybe Drake Jackson too... eventually.
What about Aaron Banks?
IMO Banks is a backup-level player that we have starting. He wouldn't start over Tomlinson.
But I'd be happy to be wrong about that one day.
Either way, point is that vast majority of 2nd to 5th rounders are backups so giving up 3-4 for CMC is a steal.

Good take. We really are stacked. It's pretty incredible. Next year picks not missed.

And do the Niners really need much as far as the draft is concerned? They already have like 15 players or so on their 53 man roster that was drafted within the last two drafts. What missing pieces they need which won't be many they can do get in free agency. They might need a center, RT, and maybe a safety if Jimmie Ward leaves.
