From the episode

It's the age for CMC. It's the touches and the combination of those two things... 450 touches when you count the playoffs last season, man, that is just so much.

Mentioned at 25:03 – 26:44

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCaffrey's age and massive workload make him a risky first-round pick.

Matt Harmon is lower on Christian McCaffrey than consensus due to his age (over 30), the massive 450-touch workload from last season, and the risk of injury, preferring Jonathan Taylor instead.
