Some ''Non-Huddler'' Jaguars Opinions on Fournette

Recommended Posts

With all the McCafferey threads popping up, and how he's the most versatile etc, etc. Many seem to have ultimately assumed Fournette will not be there and we are settling on the consolation prize options. I still personally believe McCafferey is not a ''Franchise'' caliber running back in the NFL, but more in the mold of guys like (Bush, Sproles, Woodhead) all effective in their own rights, but they aren't franchise caliber backs and at 8, that's what I'm hoping we are drafting if indeed the selection is a running back. 

So without further delay he's an interesting piece from (http://www.bigcatcountry.com)

http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2017/4/19/15285856/making-the-case-leonard-fournette-jaguars - For the full read

Let’s add more economical logic to it: The Jaguars have guaranteed Chris Ivory, who they signed to a five year, $32 million contract in 2016, $10 million. While he certainly made some of those guarantees in 2016, putting both contracts together, Ivory and Fournette will have taken over $36 million in guaranteed money out of the Jaguars checkbook by the time their contracts run out/they are cut by the team (if Fournette is selected by the Jaguars). That’s just way too much money to hand to running backs.

    • As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.
    • I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense. 
    • No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
