The failure of the Fournette draft pick can not be understated

"First things first: it needs to be properly contextualized just how poor of a decision it was to select Leonard Fournette No. 4 overall, both when it happened in 2017 and now, three years later. Fournette is not at all at fault for the Jaguars selecting him where they did, but it can't be ignored that not only is the pick one of the worst in team history, it may be one of the worst picks in all of NFL history considering the lack of return on investment, the players selected after him and the flawed process the Jaguars used to even get to that point."

And it continues from there.

Wow, talk about hyperbole. Calling a guy with nearly 1700 all purpose yards last year the worst pick in NFL history is harsh. He was definitely selected too high and his lack of field vision has hindered him but he can be productive in the right system. He's not even the worst first rounder in Jaguars history, that award has to go to Derrick Harvey.
