I think McCaffrey goes to the slot at the next level. Spread the defense out and if you like your chances running you shift him back into the backfield.

Right, he looks like Julian Edelman to me, but with a chance to be better. That's a valuable player, but probably not someone that gets drafted before the 3rd.

Agreed.  For all his success running the ball this season, McCaffrey's greatest strength is as a receiver.  That said, I think he will play more than slot in the NFL.  I think he will also line up in the backfield to try to get matched up against LBs in coverage, where he can do real damage.  I see him as a Shane Vereen-type player.
