Since I haven't seen anyone say it so I am gonna do it... We could have had Deshaun Watson, now you can be homers and say Fournette was a better choice when he really wasn't.

1. - He "most definitely" is one of them. There are different kinds of speed, and his top end speed is undoubtedly elite. Sure there are lighter backs with more agility/acceleration.

HS: 10.68 100m at 225. 

NCAA: "STACK's been keeping an eye out for impressive numbers. Dating back to to the start of the 2015 season, only one NFL ballcarrier has ever clocked a speed faster than Fournette's 22.90 mph. Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs was clocked at 23.24 mph during a play last season. But other than Hill, no one's run faster than Fournette. Not DeSean Jackson. Not Brandin Cooks. Not Tedd Ginn Jr."

^ Ole Miss game 2016, 235lbs

NFL: Leading clocked MPH of 2017 as of week 5



In regards to Watson, a lot of other teams could have had him too. If Watson turns out to be the steal of the draft we did not end up empty handed. We still got a hell of a player.

There will be more drafts, we can continue to build because we did not bust.
