From the episode
I'm still nervous. We have two years on his resume of over 400 total touches. The following year, each time he did not play a full season, four games max was the total in the following year. I don't want to take him in the middle of round one.

McCaffrey's durability concerns and age warrant caution despite RB4 ranking at 7th overall.
The source expresses concern about Christian McCaffrey's durability and workload despite his RB4 ranking at 7th overall ADP. McCaffrey missed significant training camp time due to an injury/rest situation; the source notes a pattern where in the two prior seasons he had 400+ touches, he missed time the following year (max 4 games played). At age 30, the source is nervous about taking him in the middle of round one, though acknowledges his league-winner upside if healthy. The 49ers have added receiving weapons (Mike Evans, George Kittle, Dejon Stribbling, Kalon Black, Jordan James) to reduce his workload.
