I was just reading an NFL Twitter feed, so many Talking Heads that are butthurt AF guys like Pete Prisco and others. The running narrative is well that sure is a lot to give up for a running back/injury prone player. Yeah OK it is a hell of a lot of compensation but he's no more injury prone than half the other players. Here's the thing, he's not just a running back. Think of how Kyle Juszczyk has been referred to as an offensive weapon by the team. Now that may be a bit of hyperbole but McCaffrey is that offensive weapon you would consider juice, only times 100.
Probowl RB. No other RB on the roster is a probowler.
"The move finally gives McCaffrey a chance to play for the 49ers and coach Kyle Shanahan, a pairing that nearly happened when McCaffrey entered the 2017 NFL draft. San Francisco held the No. 2 pick in that draft, and Shanahan has said on multiple occasions that he strongly considered McCaffrey with that initial first-round pick of his tenure before opting for defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, McCaffrey's Stanford teammate, after a trade down to No. 3."
Solomon Thomas.. what a FAIL 3rd overall PICK.
Draft picks are more useless and ALL LUCK BASED most of the time especially compared to proven players and probowler, just copy what the Lambs did last season and win the SB when your roster is SB ready.. "49ers reportedly beat out Rams for RB Christian McCaffrey"
