I think 2 is the magic number, and of the four I think Wright & McCaffrey are the right pair.
Wright is clearly better than Young between the hashmarks, and isn't that far behind him to the edges. He's also the best pass blocker which is needed on 1st & 2nd down especially for play action.
McCaffrey is a great 3rd down back because he can be a checkdown (if Hogan could ever find him), he can slip out in the flat for a screen/flare, he has fantastic speed to the edges, and as we saw he can also be a quality receiver who is likely to be overlooked.
While Sanders clearly has his old man's moves he doesn't have his old man's speed. You need both.
