The Pats just signed two FA RBs so I can't see them going RB. Maybe for a top D player. I honestly can't remember the last O player the Pats drafted that wasn't OL. Bill usually goes D. Wouldn't rule out TE with Bennett leaving and Gronk showing signs of wear. Man, I hate these teams feeding the Pats players and picks. It's not like they're good and win Super Bowls or anything.

I don't know that you can rule out McCaffrey because of those signings, though, since they wouldn't just use him as the traditional RB. They love versatile players who let them give different looks without changing personnel, especially in the hurry up.

True, but the way the Pats interchange RBs on any given Sunday, I can't see them expending a Top 5 pick on RB. I think they would be inclined to take a top D player.
