Fournette

[AndrewLaskoski]

Thought he played at 230. Interested to see how he runs at his weight.

This board is going to hell.  It takes nearly an entire page before someone adds a constructive opinion.  Instead we get a bunch of F__ing bullshyt about stuff unrelated to the topic.    If it was posted and is off the front page I don't go back either.  If you feel that you want to bring it back to the front page than carry your ass back and bump the thread.

Secondly spelling is NOT a requirement here.  If you can't figure out who the OP  is talking about.  Then move on.

Unless your a Igo or any one of the other mods STFU about whining that someone started a post that YOU feel is a retread or someone misspells a name.   If it is a repeat and they feel I doesn't need to be rehashed than they'll delete it.

NOW to the Topic at hand.

Fornette, is my top pick but I would not trade up for him.   We will get a top tier player when the fallout of the top seven is done.  I believe we will be in great shape even if only 1 QB is taken before us.

 

 
 

Thank you! Totally agree we should definitely get an awesome player at 8 but do want Fornette. If someone told me before last season that we would have any chance at getting him I would have laughed. Dudes awesome.

Shelby, Morganton, Marion, etc. were areas that blacks didn't necessarily want to be caught out at night---sundown towns---especially Marion, according to my wife who was born and raised in Asheville. Just thought I'd note the contrast. It's beautiful land and topography though.

JStew is 5'11" 235. Fournette is 6'1". Not a big deal in my opinion.

Wow, 6-1 240 is stout.  I seriously don't want him to run in the 4.3s or low 4.4s before the draft.  In fact a bad time would be better.  haha

I think their weight is distributed differently though. Stewart has tree trunks for legs and I don't see that with Fournette.

As far as injuries go he will not have as many touches in the NFL he was way over used they literally jump on his back and carried that team and they still couldn't stop him. Now last season was not as impressive as his last cause he was play hurt all year.
I think he is a player you have to fight to get even if that means trading up to get we have the picks to do it and still have plenty of picks left or shift a mid round pick next year. If the cb drops to the jets I think they will go defense.
What would it take to trade to the 2nd or 3rd spot?

Totally agree. We won't keep all 7 or 8 picks we got. Don't see why we don't move up and get someone better than pick 8. Also move up into the second and get two second rounders.

I don't think fournette is a great fit for carolina.  Not sure how well fournette runs out of the shotgun.  If we draft him we'd be running a lot more of the offense from under center.    That's not cam's strength.   I'm not on the fournette bandwagon

If the draft value chart is to be trusted it would take 8, our first pick in the third and next year's first to move up to 2. However since no know one expects us to be on the top 10 next year our future first loses a lot of value so we would likely have to give up a second rounder and another 3rd as well. As much as I would love to have Garret or Fournette I don't know if they are worth that much.

[WOW!!]

Will always go pass rusher and secondary before RB..

Won't be upset if Lenard is the pick but value can be had in picking a RB later..

Especially in this deep draft...

I agree with this to an extent. If the choices are Reggie White, Ed Reed and Jim Brown(arguments sake all equally awesome talents) then yeah you take White then Reed then Brown. But if the choice is Charles Johnson, Mike Minter or Adrian Peterson then I think you take AP all day(I admit the second lineup is flawed but I was trying to illustrate good but not hall of fame guys vs HoFer).

So it really comes down to how the scouting department projects out the potential talent. If they grade Fournette as a 9.9/10 and Adams and Thomas let's say 8/10 I think you have to take Fournette because his personal upside is just better even if his position value isn't.

Not saying that's how the prospects will be graded but if that's how it ends up playing out I don't think you crucify the team for taking Fournette even if other higher value positions are available.

I swear to god, we need to pray that he tanks the combine.. cause he is prob gonna crush it then NO WAY IN HELL is he gonna fall to 8 for us!!! No way !

There is a reason why he is called the best running back since Adrian Peterson.  There is a reason he was the number one HS player in the country coming out.  He is an incredible talent and we would be very lucky to get him at 8.  He is a perfect fit for our team, because he is powerful enough to run through the lack of holes our OL creates.  I've watched him his whole career and when he explodes through the hole, very few catch him and even then aren't able to bring him down.  He's not elusive.  He is fast and powerful and will run like a faster Earl Campbell.  I would love to see him line up behind Cam.  Add the FB from the Ravens and a second TE and you will see power football at its finest.

Peterson never been to a Superbowl.. Neither did LT..

The days when the best RB can carry a team to a championship are over..

Look at the last superbowl..

Atlanta had Coleman, and Devante

The Pats have White and Blount..

Only Coleman was a high round pick (2nd)
