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?

Thinking we were a player away. I don;t think anybody would deny that at the time of that darft, RB was a glaring need to be filled. The absolute worst thing to happen was Zeke going the year (?) prior and lighting it up. At that point, GMs could again justify taking RB early, especially if you had a team that was going to lean on the run game. The front office probably added priority to someone like fournette because of the position he played, pushing other more talented guys down the board.
