When you look over options at RB, is this guy an answer? He's still young at 25 or 26 (I forget which). I think his stats at Buffalo might be a bit deceiving. He avg'd 3.8 the last 2 seasons but everyone who played the Bills had NO RESPECT for their passing game since they hav'nt had a QB. He mostly ran against 7 and 8 in the box so in reality that 3.8 ypc might be damn good. His pass catching skills look adequate.
It's pretty much a done deal that a #3 pick should be enough to get him according to Clayton. The reason not many other teams are drooling over him is his contract would have to be re-negotiated as this is his last contractual season.
So then it comes down to these 2 questions. How good would he be in Green Bay and is he worth the contract that he's gonna want? This is scouts inc's latest evaluation:
Grade: 79 | Key
Alert: None

McGahee is big, strong and skilled. He is explosive, powerful and can be effective inside and outside the tackles. He has the speed and acceleration to get downhill quickly and press the hole. He has good lower-body strength and is a natural jump-cutter. He has good vision as a zone runner and good pick-and-slide ability. He can stop and restart smoothly and quickly. He runs with good lean at the second level and will fall forward after contact. He has the burst and speed to bounce outside and turn the corner. He is an effective short-yardage and goal-line runner. He has good receiving skills and is a strong runner after the catch. He can weave and avoid in space. McGahee seemed to wear down late in 2005 and could be an injury risk. He tends to run a little upright and expose his body to big hits. He suffered a serious knee injury in college. He doesn't deliver many big runs, though he runs behind a poor offensive line. He has the size to match up in pass protection but is somewhat inconsistent on the edges.
