Quote:I think the bold is why I believe it will be one of those 3 guys. They need to win now and having a better pass rush is one of the best ways to do it.
So is having a running game?

Is that question?

Yes.
I was asking if having a running game (drafting a top running back) might also be one of the best ways of winning now.
I think it would be just as effective as adding another pass-rusher.

I think pass rusher is way more effective than running the ball. I think both are important but you need top pass rushers. You can win with an above average line and a good RB. Playoff teams from this past year prove that.
I'm not hating on Cook or Fournette at all. They're probably going to be good pros. But I also think you can find backs in the 2nd and 3rd round that can do the job if your line is good. Let's improve the line, run Hacketts game and I think Ivory and Yeldon will be fine. If not? Then draft someone else next year.
Today's combine results did not alter my list.
2. Adams
3. Thomas
4. Hooker
5. Allen
Think I made up my mind:
1. Adams
2. Thomas
3. Fournette
4. Hooker
That's assuming Allen has health problems that will affect his career.
1. Adams
2. McCaffrey
3a. Thomas
3b. Fournette
