NFL fans think multiple first rounders for McCaffrey is too much.
anyone who gives up even ONE first round pick for Christian McCaffrey is an idiot https://t.co/qNF41je3ne

The Panthers are NOT going to get that kind of haul for an inury-prone RB that's averaging $18M against the cap for the last 3 years of his contract. Additionally, we KNOW they won't eat the cap for higher picks, not for a team in rebuild mode. They need to lower expectations. https://t.co/mz3fjvWmjV

Not a single RB in this league is worth a single 1st let alone multiple for an injury prone one. They're on crack https://t.co/aOYToG5elV
