Quote:I think Ivory is a better player than Cyp, and I think Adams is a better player than Fournette. 

 

In fact, I think if Peterson is Fournette's 90% outcome comp...I think Ivory is his most realistic outcome comp. They are not dissimilar players.

 

 

Personally, I think Ivory and Cyprien are pretty much on the same level, but I find Fournette to be a better player than Adams, although both are good. I also think RB is a more premium position, as well as a much bigger need than Safety. We have a decent enough defense that we could get away with having a serviceable Safety and we wouldn't lose too much, but right now our offense is completely one dimensional. We have a complete lack of talent at the RB position and a couple of spots on the offensive line as well. I just believe that a RB the caliber of Fournette, would benefit this team much more than any Safety would. Fundamentally, I'm opposed to drafting any Safety in the top 5. My ideal scenario is and will always be to trade down. I believe top 5 picks should only be reserved for franchise QB's, OT's and the occasional D-Lineman. Since I see no elite players at those positions in this draft, (I know some people will disagree,) I see no other option, but to trade down. Heck, we could probably land either Fournette or Adams if we did trade down a few spot, but I'm not running things though.
