Quote:...[Fournette]  will anchor the team's ground game, while his mere presence will create big-play opportunities in the passing game, given that opponents will be forced to use more eight-man fronts with single coverage on the outside. To that point, the Jaguars will also need their new franchise tackle (second-rounder Cam Robinson) and big-play receiver (fourth-rounder Dede Westbrook) to make their presence known on an offense that has the potential to put up 30-plus points a game, provided quarterback Blake Bortles handles his business. On defense, linebacker Blair Brown (fifth round) could work his way into the rotation as a part-time starter, or he could emerge a special-teams demon covering punts and kickoffs as a rookie.
Excited about Brown.

"When the Jaguars selected Leonard Fournette fourth overall, they essentially hitched their playoff wagon to a 6-foot-1, 240-pound workhorse with home-run potential and a violent running style. The rugged runner will anchor the team's ground game, while his mere presence will create big-play opportunities in the passing game, given that opponents will be forced to use more eight-man fronts with single coverage on the outside. To that point, the Jaguars will also need their new franchise tackle (second-rounder Cam Robinson) and big-play receiver (fourth-rounder Dede Westbrook) to make their presence known on an offense that has the potential to put up 30-plus points a game, provided quarterback Blake Bortles handles his business.
