Quote:Bro, we had (2) 100 yard games by our RBs last year. None of our RBs even rushed for 500 yards.


We absolutely have to address the running back position. Fournette is being compared to Bo friggin Jackson and has been said to run with better pad-level then Adrian friggin Peterson.


Fournette will touch the ball 25 times a game and will heavily impact our entire offense and take tons of pressure off Bortles.


No other player will impact or help Bortles as much as Fournette will. I have no idea why you are against the best RB in the draft.


If I told you he would rush for 1200 yards and score 8 TDs and help us keep the lead late in the 4th quarter, then you will take that every time. Not some DE or DT that is going to rotate in and out and possibly give us 7 or 8 sacks.


Wake up kid. Fournette is the best possible draft pick for this team. Heck even if we were picking #1 overall, he would still have the biggest impact on our aweful QB.

I am not saying to ignore RB. Plenty of day 2 would help. I also don't think Fournette is the best RB in the draft, I think he absolutely behind Mixon and McCaffrey. 

 

Even if he was though, I just don't take the position with the shortest career, shortest peak, most injuries, and longest injuries at 4. Especially not when he already has a chronic ankle issue that will need surgery at some point to begin with.
