Jags are on the board this next draft, Jonathan Taylor declares for the NFL and he's on the board as well. Best Available Player on the board. Even with Fournette and Armstead on this team now, do you take him?

Given what I've seen of the guy, he's like the absolute antithesis of Fournette. I think I'd take him unless there's a better option at the time. But I agree, taking a RB in the first round - especially in the top 5 - is a HUGE risk. I wasn't thrilled when they went ahead and drafted Fournette. I just hoped it would work out. So far i'd say that was a terrible decision.

Not a fan. Seems very, very one dimensional as he has no impact in the receiving game. He reminds me of Ron Dayne a bit. And I think he could end up like Ron Dayne in the NFL. Or maybe like Montee Ball. Wisconsin RB's in general are flaky in the NFL. 

Even Melvin Gordon who had arguably the single greatest rushing season in Wisconsin's history hasn't really found that consistency on the ground for the Chargers. He's a good multipurpose back though. Him and James White both are pretty versatile. But just not a fan of this team taking yet another RB that high. Especially a Badger.
