Apparently McCaffrey is now ahead of Dalvin Cook on Mel Kiper's draft board.

This is so silly.  "When you say Christian McCaffrey," Kiper said. "He can run, he can catch, he can return punts and kicks. You can put him in the slot. You can put him out wide. That's why he's a top prospect and why people have him going much higher than people originally thought."

Hello, this wasn't obvious to "people" until after the combine?  What, "people" couldn't flip on McCaffrey tape and see him doing all these things in college against top competition? 

My position has long been that CMac will be a #1 draft pick without question, as long as he ran under 4.5 in the 40 at the combine, because these things "people" weren't originally thinking, were patently obvious to anyone paying attention.  Heck, I thought he could win the H.eisman Trophy before he played a down for Stanford, based on what I saw in his high school highlights. 

It is really strange to me how late to the party "people" are to recognize how good Christian is.  Better late than never, but nonetheless still strange that it takes so long, both with him as a H.eisman trophy candidate, and to solidify his place as a #1 NFL draft pick.
