But he's chronically bad at drafting RB high... Should he draft another in the first round?

Absolutely not. RB is no where near as high of a priority as other positions. My post was more referring to you saying we should take a CB rather than a QB or another position of need on the offense. While there may be a lot of hate thrown Fournette's way by people on this board, it is still a little unfair to say he a complete bust at this point. as most people said above, he has not had a very good Oline in front of him. couple that with the fact most teams don't respect our passing game, he doesn't exactly have a situation like zeke or someone who is better equipped to flourish. Not to mention, our O scheme was supposed to give him a heavy work load and be centered around the run. That is a pretty good recipe to make any back look like a injury prone underachiever. Most people have an issue with things that happen off the field with speculation about his attitude because a ill timed camera shot during the last game and fight early on.

I wouldn't say he is chronically bad at drafting since he has only taken one in the first round.
