Not sure if a topic like this has been created but two national mock drafts i read today have us taking Fournette in one and OJ Howard in the other in the first rd.  Both could be day 1 starters.  

I think I would go with Howard and then draft a good RB in 2nd.  Thoughts?

Love Fournette, but Howard. 

Olsen is getting a little long in the tooth and Howard is an elite prospect. 

Stewart is getting old and Fournette is an elite prospect but it's easier to find productive RB's than it is to find productive TE's and while our offense is based on the running game we rely heavily on production from the TE position in both the running and passing game. Howard is the rare college TE prospect that can block and catch.

Howard.  Can find a good RB later.  (The Vikes never got to the SB with Adrian Peterson) . A 2nd TE who is a weapon is jut what the doctor ordered for this offense.  

Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez never won Super Bowls. Individual players don't win Super Bowls, teams do.

I like Howard because helps in pass protection, blocking, and receiving. Also, he prevents guys like Dion Jones and Lavonte David from blitzing the majority of the game because no one is concerned about Ed Dickson. I like Fournette as well  because he will take a significant load off of Cam's shoulders. Having a consistent and stable running game will drastically improve this offense. 2 of the first 3 picks in this draft should be on offense.

That's a really difficult choice. Fournette is the more rare prospect, but Howard is the future for the NFL. Howard is that NBA type talent that can cause match up problems. Fournette is the 3 yards and a cloud of dust workhorse. Both would be huge for our offense, so I can't really decide. If I had to chose I'd go with Fournette, but I would be happy with Howard as well. I mean look at what Cam has done with Olsen, an other decade of that with Howard would be sweet.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
