Quote:I'd love it, but I don't see any team nowadays trading up to draft a runningback. Especially since so many of the top backs are 3rd to 6th round picks.

The Panthers aren't just any team as they're searching desperately for a guy like Fournette. He'll literally put their offense over the top especially if they can couple him with a dominant RT like Zach Banner at the end of round two. They're all over Fournette sending out much of their staff to his Pro Day and then inviting him back for more visits. They've even talked to the 49ers about possibly trading up for Fournette, and the 49ers have since suggesting they might take the RB at #2 overall. You know they're just trying to sell the trade idea. Really the only fear they should have is that the Jaguars will draft Fournette, and at this point the Jaguars are thinking trade down, but if we can't we'll take Fournette.

It makes tons of sense for the Panthers to move to #4 as it would take MUCH less than moving to #2. I haven't seen this much interest in one team wanting a RB so bad since Ditka wanted Ricky Williams for the Saints. The Saints, btw, I'm convinced are taking McCaffery which is really the guy I personally want if I could pick any player.
