From my perspective many fans and analysts thought Fournette just made too much sense and had to be the pick. 
Around 60% of this board seemed to be all in on that idea. 
Anytime I bad-mouthed the idea, four or five Fournette fans would tell me how stupid I was. 

No one really anticipated they'd pick a QB early, though many were hoping they would. 

Other players on the Jags radar here and around the interwebs included the top safety prospects and a couple of d-linemen.
 A strong handful wanted the TE, Howard at 4. 
Most of us figured TC would never take a TE that high. 
There was a small contingent that want Deshaun Watson, Kizer, or Lamar Jackson at the pick, but again most figured QB wouldn't happen early for the Jags.

Tight End Howard at number 4 was just waaay too high for him. If Fournette doesn’t run wild this year then he is a bust.

I need some Natrone Means type performances up in Buffalo and Denver from 1996. Fournette has it in him. See the Pittsburgh game when he went for 190 and 2 TDs. Need a whole lot more of those.

Taylor vs Pitt - 234
Taylor vs NO - 194
Fournette vs Pitt - 190
Taylor vs Det - 183
MJD vs Ten - 177

Playoffs Means vs Buf - 186

These are the top rushing performances of all time in our franchise’s history. Fournette has it in him. But I’m giving him this year to make up for the last 2. If he rushes for anything under 1200 yards it will be a disappointment.

He needs to score 10 or more TDs as well.

There’s still time imo
