Even if Fournette had ran for 1,200 10 TDs and 5 ypc both of these seasons it would have been a bad decision

Revisionism. He was considered the top running back in the draft at the time. He ran for 2000+ yards as a sophomore. The Jags wanted a running back because they didn't think Yeldon was going to be an every down back. If you want to say that taking a running back that high is risky then I would agree, but "risky" and "bad" aren't necessarily the same.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
