Drafting 5th and surprised by DA using your rankings/projections it recommends taking McCoy with the 5th pick overall versus ODB or Julio? Johnson, Bell, Brown off the board as I am one away from picking.
Seems to me the play here would be to take either ODB or JJ at 5 and hopefully grab an RB like Gurley, Crowell, or Miller at pick 20.
Though it's possible if I take McCoy that high at 5 I could pair him with maybe Hopkins or D.Thomas with the second pick.
Would appreciate rationale from the site hosts to comment on this and thanks in advance?

We're super high on McCoy, but I'm kind of with you on those two WRs. I'm digging them a lot.
We like RB's, and I tend to be that way as well, and the thinking is that McCoy has a level of opportunity and proven production that separates him from the rest of the pack. He's also a 3-down back, and with Gillislee gone and Mike Tolbert 172 years old, he should get a full workload as long as he's healthy.
I worry about his injury history, so I'm taking OBJ or Julio, or maybe even Evans, then going RB next personally though, so I understand your reluctance.
