By that logic we shouldn't have drafted Josh Allen then after drafting Taven Bryan the year before. I think you can make a case for drafting a RB there. We DID rely on the ground game a lot in 2017. When we finished up 2018 we had Fournette oft injured, Grant on IR with a foot injury and Yeldon hitting free agency. Then we ended up trading for Carlos Hyde and cutting him or trading him away shortly after this previous season had ended. RB left a lot to be desired in 2018. It remains to be seen for 2019. Hopefully Armstead pans out. 

Fournette though has yet to show that he can physically hold up for the long term. It was one of the main concerns most scouts had on him when he left LSU. Having a capable spell back to really compliment Fournette would have been ideal on an offense where your QB is clearly inconsistent. It worked for the Saints between Ingram/Kamara. It worked in the past for us with Taylor/Jones-Drew. The Panthers were using Stewart/McCaffrey during his rookie year and they managed 11 wins. 

It depends on how you want to look at it. If Fournette fails to get it done this year on the stat sheet. He could be on the way out already by 2020. Or they'll at least be targeting his replacement in 2020.
