Yeah man I have no idea what to do. Excluding the defensive players and an unlikely olineman at 4, the next two most obvious options are RB and TE.


A versatile do it all TE is way more valuable than a running back. The stuff you can do schematically is so vast. But fournette isnt especially good as a receiver so all youre getting is some removed pressure in the secondary when a guy has to be kept in the box, which you also get from a tight end in other ways.

Then theres the RBs dependence on a scheme that suits him and a line the will open up holes. And thats not even getting into the issues with fournette or cook as a player, the value of running backs as far as where theyre selected, the longevity of their careers, etc etc. There are SO many issues with a running back at 4, especially leonard, that I find it hard to keep up. Where the biggest issue for a TE at 4 is pretty much expectation since its not done regularly.


I feel like people have fallen in love with the idea of fournette and it doesnt allow for them to believe anything else about him. Hes just the perfect caricature of "tough" football because his vines and harrishighlights of him running over future CPAs is fun. Run the ball one hundred times a game. Smash mouth football or something.
