Quote:This is so true. Allen is getting a lot of hate for what seems like no reason.
His shoulder problems aren't even a problem until he's like 40. He's getting the same treatment that Leonard Williams got. People keep nitpicking the guy. I wouldn't be mad at all if the Jags took Allen.
There's definitely a reason dude. We have no clue about when his shoulders will be a problem. The people that have a clue are worried about it.
Even without that worry though, he still came in at a shade under 6'3" and 286 with very bad athleticism. He's either too heavy and way way too unathletic to play EDGE, or he's too small and merely one way too unathletic to play inside. I did say if I had to bet on someone being an outlier Allen would be among them, but picking guys who have to be outliers is bad policy. That's how you get stuck with Fowler's over Beasley's.
LWill was only an average athlete but is a solid 6'5" 300+. It's not really comparable, and it's definitely not nitpicking.
Thread fail lol. This is a thread like the ones you lock. Howard already looks like one of the best backs in the league.
Quote:Jordan Howard and Carlos Hyde are solid starting RBs in this league, but neither is quite on the same level that Fournette is expected to be. Howard was a 5th round draft pick.
I don't get this logic at all. The round you are picked in determines your success as a pro? Brady was picked in the 6th. Look up what round Terrell Davis was picked in. Howard is a stud
Quote:I will be upset. Fortunately I'm a Jags fan so I have as much experience coping with bad 1st round picks as anyone.
Since Coughlin is making the pick I'd be fully onboard the Fournette selection. In fact, I'd support any player he picks in the top 15. Look at his track record of top 15 picks. Boselli, Taylor, Henderson, Stroud, Beckham, JPP. If he selects Fournette I doubt it'd be a fail.

Except Caldwell is still making the pick. It's a group effort, as was FA

"Group effort". Nah, Caldwell got demoted because he's trash, Coughlin's making the final decision.

That's why TC didn't talk to any player/agent in the FA process. Gotcha.
To answer the OP's question, i'd go Adams or McCaffrey.
This thread is a waste of time
