Bullseye, you routinely produce some of the best football related content on the internet.  

 

I like your idea, but I wonder, if we can get inside the mind of Coughlin, when he was here in Jacksonville, the last time he actually had control of a draft, wasn't he more of a paint-by-numbers, fill-a-need type of drafter?   Of course it would all depend on how much he gives Dave Caldwell the power to make the choice, but I am just wondering about what would be in the mind of Coughlin. 

 

Remember Harry Deligianis?   That was pure we-must-pick-a-DL-in-round-4.  

 

Also, the win-now mandate, how much would that play into the choice?  Paint-by-numbers, fill-immediate-needs-immediately, win-now, would say we would draft offense at this point.   And that means Fournette, because in the top 10, he's about the only offensive guy. 

 

If it were up to me, I would take Hooker or Lattimore, go offensive line in round 2, and maybe offensive line in round 3, and roll with the RBs we already have.   But I think I have a higher opinion of our current RBs than a lot of other posters on the message board, and a lower opinion of Leonard Fournette and Dalvin Cook. 

 

I know Malik Jackson and Calais Campbell would love for us to take a DB at pick 4.
