Quote:Same. This board would crash due to an epic level of draft night traffic of epic proportions. I'd be fine with it. If they feel like Trubisky (If he sneaks by San Francisco) or Kizer, Watson or Mahomes is a flat out upgrade over Bortles with more upside. So [BAD WORD REMOVED] be it.

I agree that they would flat out be an upgrade.

Some men just want to watch the world burn 

It cant be when ya have be like Mike on your side!

Quote:It's a good thing that the numbers agree with what the eyes say then. He is a tough, strong, "run you over" type of RB that has breakaway speed...once he gets to the 2nd level. If he doesn't get blocking he goes down for negative yards far too often and far too easily. 

 

Also, I don't know how someone who trusts your eyes like you say wouldn't like McCaffrey. He runs through the between the tackles impressively. You'll want a goal line/short yardage back with him, but he can be the early down and passing down back just fine. 

 

But who does get positive yards without blocking? You make it seem like Fournette is the only one who needs blocking.

Running backs taken in the top 5, that's who should ascend bad oline play.

lol I can't with this 

Quote:May not be the case if it's true we're bringing in Murray for a look from OAK next week after SEA gets a look at him. If they sign him we'd be overloaded in the backfield. 

 

Ivory - Yeldon - Murray - Grant 

 

There's no need to draft Fournette in this situation if that's the case. Especially when you dive into the numbers from last year and see that Hackett managed to call the offense into nearly a 1200 yard net rushing team through just nine or ten games.

 

At this point I am thinking they're either looking to trade down having filled all of these needs so they can address another need at RG or RT. And if they can't get the trade they want they may sit tight and go with Johnathan Allen or Solomon Thomas if he's there. 

 

Because it should go:

 

1. Cleveland - Myles Garrett

2. San Francisco - Mitch Trubisky 

3. Chicago - Johnathan Allen or Marshon Lattimore

4. Jacksonville - Johnathan Allen or Solomon Thomas 

 

 

 

While I agree with you for the most part, I can them making Ivory an expensive although possibly elite FB. He's an extremely physical RB so the role would be very natural for him, although he'd also be one of the best FBs in the league with the ball in his hands. It would get really interesting with TJ a total change of pace from Fournette as opposed to be somewhat similar to Ivory. ...and then you'd still have the speedy Corey Grant to really shake things up just when teams think they have a handle on Fournette.

I doubt Ivory would consider being a FB

IMO the greatest reason to draft Fournette is to help out Bortles. If we draft Fournette at #4 then he is instantly the best talent on that side of the ball. Defensive coordinators will give you different looks. This will help the passing game in that many coordinators and players sell out for fear of getting posterized. This could give better match ups for for A Rob, Lee and Hurns. The play action with Leonard Fournette is a true threat to a defense. In conclusion, even if you are just using him as a decoy; I think having this Stud on the field greatly improves the offensive units productivity.

Based on what?

Everything. 

For the same reasons Fred and Mojo stabilized and created a foundation where the team would survive even subpar QB play during their years.  So much so Garrard (with the help of much better QBs bowing out of the honor) went to the Pro Bowl.  All carried on the back of the running game, even behind question marks on the line.  Never had a stable LT or RT, people complained about Meester constantly (though shouldn't have,) and there was really only Naeole and Manuwai that fans recognized as good.  It certainly wasn't the line or the QB that was "making" Fred and Mojo.

Still no proof but bet the house for the second best running back on the lsu team.
