In fact, the ineffectiveness of the second rounder we took lead us to the need for the Fournette pick.

That's definitely not what I said. 
The comment about rounds 2-4 was strictly about draft philosophy with the RB position in general - and does not reflect directly on Fournette's role on the 2017 Jags.  While I think we got a great back, I have concerns about his limitations, and I think other players of greater overall value were preferable there. 

 I also said that he made an impact in 4 or 5 games. Outside of those games, I do believe a lesser back would have impacted the games similarly to Fournette. Even Yeldon.  As evidenced by the three wins in his absence. 
4 or 5 impactful games is a big deal though. Could really break a season to drop three of those.
