McCaffrey's All-Pro seasons justify his trade price; benchmark for Taylor.

McCaffrey earned All-Pro honors in both of his healthy seasons with the 49ers after being acquired for 2023 second-, third-, and fourth-round picks plus a 2024 fifth-round pick. His heavier usage in the passing game offsets concerns about the depreciating value of aging running backs, making him a benchmark for what executives believe Jonathan Taylor should command.
