Looking Back Debate: Fournette v. Dalvin Cook

#1

One of the big pre draft debates we've had over the past few years occurred in the spring of 2017, TC's first with the team since returning from the Giants.  There were any number of options available to the team at the time, including two of the brighter young QB prospects in Mahomes and Watson.  But undeniably, RB was a huge need for the team, and the debate was whether we should go with the hammering power back in Leonard Fournette, or the smaller back with more wiggle in Cook.

I predicted the team would go with Fournette given TC's return to the team and his track record of utilizing power backs here and with the Giants, though I thought if Cook could stay out of trouble, he would make an outstanding back.

I don't think either guy has definitively proven to be better yet, because both have battled injuries, but as hard as it is to believe, Fournette hase been more available and ultimately more productive than Cook.  Cook has the higher YPC average, but Fournette's rookie year totals alone surpasses Cook's aggregate total.

So forgetting the Jaguars passing up on the QB for the moment and sticking solely with the RBs, id the Jaguars make the right move in selecting Fournette over Cook?
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
