Quote:I wasn't talking about Cook or Mixon. I've seen a few people that like one or the other more, sure. But that's changing the topic. Why is Fournette mostly uniformly taken as the first RB? Why is it that all these experts that see the talent are wrong and he's just a one trick pony?


I like Foreman but I am skeptical of players that rise quickly due to workouts. He played at 250 and ran his 40 at 230, is there a weight issue there? Why does he go down so easily for such a big back? He's playing against the Big-12. Nobody can stop the run there. I keep seeing him in Round 1. I like him but i still see a gap between him and Fournette.

I wouldn't say he's rising due to workouts. Before the combine he was a guy viewed and mocked as a potential 1st rounder.


His combo of size, speed, and production puts him in that conversation at least amongst mock drafters all across the internet. Him to the Giants was a pick I saw made a few times. After his stress fracture in his foot was revealed at the combine and mock drafters (over)reacted to some performances he fell out of a lot of first round mocks.
