[DC 86]

I've been reading that Christian would be a late first round pick, and with a great combine he could slip into the Top 15.  Okay, let's see that happen.  CBS estimated McCaffrey at #17 to Oakland, bleacher report had him at #27, I saw him going to Philly mid-first-round, ESPN thinks Ravens at #24, Sports Illustrated has him going at #18.

So let's see what happens.  His pre-announcement estimates from reputable organizations run #17 to #27.  Seems appropriate, save his bowl game decision.

The most recent ESPN mock draft that I found actually had McCaffrey at #32.

The most recent Bleacher Report mock does not have McCaffrey in the first round.

The most recent SB Nation mock also does not have McCaffrey in the first round.

Pro Football Focus also does not have McCaffrey in the first round:

Sports Illustrated did a mock first round on their podcast and McCaffrey was not selected:

There so many mocks posted (and updated) that I believe the ESPN, BR, SN and PFF mocks are the most recent without being 100% certain, not sure about SI, but recently I have seen McCaffrey described as projected for the second round in most articles and mock drafts.

In any case, if he rises/falls between now and the draft it will surely be due to his combine performance and interviews more than his bowl game decision.
