Going back to my post, I said he was an average back.  02 was using Fournette as some sort of validation of keeping Coughlin (which seems pretty irrelevant now).  No it's not Fournette's fault that he was drafted with the fourth pick, which was never the point that I was trying to make.  But he was not worth the fourth pick and that is squarely on the FO.

Knowing what we know now, based only on this year, I would say he would have been worth a late first round pick.  He's not special, for sure, but he's pretty good.  He's become an all-around running/receiving/blocking running back.  I don't think he needs to be replaced just because he's not Barry Sanders.  He's a good player.  His problem is he's a downhill runner who gets hit in the backfield way too often.  He needs holes to run through to be more effective than he already is.  

And if you want to point to this as a failure of the FO, there are much bigger failures to point to.  You don't even need this one to make the case.
