Yep and so was almost every other 1st round pick over the last 15 years.  Taking Matt Jones over A Rod was a horrible pick.  Shocking news

No, its been mentioned quite a bit by myself over the years, especially vs BAP drafting truthers.  

Ok good we're getting somewhere now. So what do you think was the flaw that led them to the failed Fournette pick, in your opinion?

Believing in Bortles.  I think that was one of the things that helped get Coughlin a job.  If he came in saying he wanted a new QB I don't think he would of got hired   I think he told Khan and Dave that he could succeed with Bortles at QB.  That said Bortles never really improved and just isn't good enough.

I think the f.o. overestimated the quality of their o-line and it's depth, failed to recognize Fournette's inability to create, and placed too much faith in Bortles to hold up his end of a "balanced attack." 

Poor perspective on all three of those issues led to the misplaced audacity of taking a RB at #4.

( the Coughlin vs Caldwell speculation completely aside here ^ No clue if it was really a "coughlin pick" - I'm assuming it was a consensus )

This too, to much faith in that oline and should of take McCaffrey if they wanted a RB in the first
