It's whether we'd be better off with Jamal Adams or Patrick Mahomes than Fournette?

It is curious that a person who contends RBs should not be taken high because they can easily be found later would then turn around and advocate taking a SS in the top 5.  You can find a good SS anywhere, too.  (See: Chancellor, Kam.  See also: Lynch, John)

Mahomes or Watson?  I would get the argument for QBs.

But not SS under your established draft paradigm.

I think Adams shows enough interchangeability at the safety positions to warrant that pick. Of course you'll also need a FS who is happy to come down and hit/run support to make the pick truly effective. 
(i.e. employing a scheme that truly mixes/disguises the safety roles)

You have a good point though. Adams isn't the best example if you're going to just plug him into a traditional SS role. I just saw his talent level on a tier higher than Fournette's at draft time.
