Foreman has faced off against weaker rush defenses though. So while those YPC averages look impressive, they're really not. Cook faced off against five solid rush defenses and still accumulated over 1,600 yards and a 6.08 YPC average.

Cook isn't faster than Foreman by a little. He's at least moderately faster. Once he got space, he embarrassed secondaries with his speed and agility.

The kid is perhaps the most decorated Miami-born RB thus far. 

IDK, Cook didn't really produce much against the top rush defenses.  NC State was the top rush D they faced, and they held him to 65 yards.  Louisville was the next best, and they held him to 54.

Like I said, I think either one would be great.  I'm not trying to discount Cook.  I still think Foreman will be the more attractive back to our FO, due to his size, style, and blocking ability.

My opinion, you can't go wrong with Cook, Foreman, Fournette, and McCaffrey.  I even think Joe Mixon from OU would be a good get as well.  Phenomenal receiver out of the backfield.

Fournette or Foreman in the first. Cook is good but I don't think he will be durable enough to be a workhorse RB in the NFL.

these are so pointless right now. guys will fall and rise. I still think Dalvin is the better option. Then again we wouldn't be the Panthers if we didn't draft someone with an injury history, especially a running back with an ankle problem...

Fournette is a once a generation talent.  I'm okay with it.  

Also, I literally can't tell when you're trollin or not.  

I have been pretty consistent for years that I think investing heavily with draft picks or money in RBs.....isn't good business to me.   Definitely not trolling.

You get an OL and any RB can run.  You can get a super stud at RB like a Todd Gurley.....and having a freak show RB still doesn't make a run game.  

I just think in terms of value a high first round pick can be better at a different position. 

 

and I don't but the once in a generation talent.  Bama probably doesn't think so.

Watson is the best player in the draft, I hope he falls to a good team tho.

Watson post Pitt game finally looks like the Watson I thought would represent all season.  Can't figure it out but something had been off with him all season.  He was still ballling but there was always a tad off all season.   That hurt his stock IMO.  His downfield throws most of this season had been consistently iffy.  I know he had a lot of Ginn type drops but his ball placement downfield was off.

Fournette isn't getting pass the jags

Reminder that Todd McShay is a complete hack who just says whatever the agents who pay him want him to say. 

Didn't McShay have Cam in the 2nd round?

There are only 3 true gems in this draft class. Allen, Garrett, and Fournette.

Say what you will but drafting Fournette would give us the best rb prospect since Adrian Peterson.

Damn I hope we get Fournette. I just can't imagine Cam Newton and Leonard Fournette in the backfield. It would be amazing, I hope we trade up if we have to fug it we need another spark on this offense.

I don't think he will last to 7. He is a better prospect than Elliot and Gurley were and I can't see 6 teams passing on him.
