Hey......not against discussing possible players or needs but,

to be throwing out mocks is ridiculous 

7 pages deep on this site, and on others probably just a deep.  Not that ridiculous if you ask me.  

[Mr. Scot]

Drafting runningbacks high makes me nervous.

I do like what I've seen of Fournette though.

He's the one RB that if we Drafted him that high, I would not complain at all.  Kids legit.

I'd only want a guy that high if he were an Adrian Peterson type difference maker.

You buy Fournette as that?

He's about as close as you can get to AP.  And AP had worse injury issues at OU than Fournette has had at LSU.

So what? The also signed Ivory this offseason. It's obvious they don't believe in Yeldon.

Nothing wrong with 2 good backs. Did we draft Stewart because we didn't believe in d will?

Except they don't have any good backs. I would be surprised if the jags don't draft a RB

Fournette is probably going to be very good or great. But I don't think our OL has been good enough and other positions help a lot more like DE or S that could be the picks in the top 10.

Shady, Leveon and David Johnson all came in from 2nd or 3rd rounds. This draft is loaded at RB, there will be studs in the 2nd.

Sure, Elliot has been good for the Cowboys, but I don't think they'd be different if Alfred Morris was running, who had 1600 yards in his rookie year with a rookie QB. You can also look at how Gurley is a fantastic RB but hasn't been able to do anything for like 20 games.

Falcons lose out, we going to the playoffs. It's December which is Rivera/Cam turn up time.

He's the best talent since AP, but he is not AP- when you look at the film they have different running styles. 

An NFL.com writer compared his style to Bo Jackson

I found this to be accurate. Bo was one-of- a-kind with his 4.12 speed but their running styles are similar. Bo's football career ended because of said freaky speed. Yet, Leonard Fournette runs a 4.35, which is impressive in its own right at 225-230 lbs. Check out this Sports Science special on him.

I would have no problem with us drafting Leonard Fournette- he is a freak who will tear up the NFL for whoever drafts him. 

I did a lot of research on LF because of all the comparisons to AP, which turned me off from drafting him. To this day I have yet to see anything like APs OU film- it's ridiculous. He's a HOF RB and the best of his generation. But LF can be the best pure runner of his generation, and if that's why people make the comparison, I get it.

People here make a lot of comments about our O-line and that is why we shouldn't draft a premier RB- but when healthy, Norwell, Kalil, and Turner are one of the best interiors in the league. And if LF can be as dominant as AP, there is no reason we shouldn't draft him. I thought it was crazy when AP wasn't taken in the top 5- and we'd be crazy not to take him if he makes it out of the top 5 and somehow falls to us. As heavy this draft is at RB, Fournette might be the best player in this entire draft- he's a transcendent talent. I wouldn't have an issue with us taking Foreman or Chubb later, but if Fournette is there when we pick, that is BPA.

With 50 mill in cap room.  That's what our GM is for.
