He's a good player, but the top five is for taking great players that make plays above the X's and O's for your team for years and years. Fournette was always a terrible idea where he was taken, and saying other guys taken around him weren't good either doesn't only fail to absolve this management team, it's not even true.

I agree. I like Fournette and hope he improves, but fourth overall, especially with Mahomes available? Yes I know hindsight is 20/20 but the chiefs jumped high to get him (27th rob 10th pick) and they already had Alex Smith who in response delivered one of his best seasons once his career. Who is to say if we don’t draft Mahomes, the same result as last year doesn’t happen? We get a winning season with a number 1 defense and an effective Bortles campaign. I’m getting sick thinking about what could have been
