From the episode

CMC already banged up. What is this? He's got tightness or tenderness or what the heck kind of BS is going on with CMC? ... It's usually one year on, one year off with him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

McCaffrey's injury history and current tightness make him a high-risk first-round bust.

Christian McCaffrey is already dealing with tightness or tenderness and was sidelined from practice, which fits a recurring 'one year on, one year off' injury pattern. Given his heavy workload last year as a 30-year-old running back, drafting him in the first round is a high-risk move that ignores his history of missed time in 2020 and 2021.
