Quote:Im thinking Murray was a smokescreen. Everyone is linking Fournette to Jacksonville and maybe Coughlin is trying to get that off the news outlets and calm the talk. It could be a good tactic to throw other teams off as to what we will do in the draft. Also, in my opinion, paying more money for a Runningback when you can draft one at in a loaded class for much cheaper and younger option is a much better scenario.  Poe on the other hand Im just not sure he would want to come to Jacksonville unless the money is there. I know hes looking for a 1 year prove it type of deal similar to what Bechum got, but he can probably do that with a team that better suits his style as a 34 nose tackle or a contender. Atlanta makes a ton of sense for him. We have some good players on the defensive line and some solid depth, I think if we need another NT to back up Abry Jones, we can find one later in the draft. 

I'm not sure if it was a smokescreen, but I'd be surprised if Fournette isn't Coughlin's 1st choice. I enjoy looking at everyone's opinions on who would be the best choice. In reality, nobody bats 1000 with their predictions, even the "experts" who do it for a living. Personally, I was very unhappy with the Jaguars when they drafted Fred Taylor over Takeo Spikes. Although Spikes turned out well, Freddy T. is arguably the greatest Jaguar ever. Only time will tell whether Fournette, Allen, Thomas or a total sleeper will turn out to be the best pro.
