Fournette - 4th to the Miami Dolphins
"Fournette has averaged 6.13 yards per carry in his first two college seasons, scoring 32 rushing touchdowns. If there's a concern, it's that he'll put too much wear on his tires before getting to the NFL -- he had 300 carries in 2015 and has totaled 487 for his career. But you just don't see this kind of game-breaking ability very often."

Malachi dupre - 10th to the Tennessee Titans
"Kendall Wright is set to hit free agency in 2017, and by that point, Marcus Mariota could be in need of some more weapons. Dupre has dropped a few pivotal passes, but there's a lot to like about his size (he's listed at 6-3), speed and raw ability."


Jamal Adams - 12th to the Jacksonville Jaguars
"The son of George Adams, who the Giants selected in the 1985 first round, Jamal came on strong during his sophomore season. He picked off a team-high four passes and flashed the ability to get downhill in a hurry and make plays in the run game (47 solo tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss). Defensive tackle and offensive tackle could be options for the Jaguars, as well"

Tredavious "Shaq" White - 20th to the Buffalo Bills
"I thought White had the potential to be a first-round pick in 2016 had he left school early. He has started 34 of a possible 36 games in his career, tallying four interceptions. White played really well in a 2014 matchup against current Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper."

He also has Kendall Beckwith as the number 1 guy listed on other players to consider.

For giggles ... He has Watson going to Cleveland at 1; Kaaya from Miami going to San Fran at 2 and Myles Garrett going to the Giants at 3

Would love seeing Fournette with the Dolphins. If Fournette has the season that we think he will I think he has a great shot at going #1.

While I think he is the best prospect, the NFL wants qbs ... Not running backs

No. Not a chance at all. No franchise is going to commit to a rb the kind of money an overall #1 gets. Also, the #1 overall pick has to be a 10 year projected starter. That's the dynamic of the NFL draft. Even if the team with the first pick believes he is that good, they won't do it. If they want LF, they would trade down a few spots and get him. These are just the surface issues.

The Dolphins have always been my 2nd team to root for, hell back in the Marino days I was obsessed with them and you could make a case they were my favorite over the Saints. A Fournette/Landry combo over there would be pretty ok with me.

No chance of him going 1st overall. It's a QB league and there are a few really good qb's in this draft.

I think if Ezikel Elliott goes out and has a good year . Depending on the team Fournette Will have a great shot going number one or two

Beckwith's poor pass coverage ability will keep him out of the 1st Rd.

He may not #1, but I would not want to be a GM picking 2 or 3 and LF is there for the taking. May need a Rolaid

I don't think Garrett will be a top 5 or 10 pick he is terrible in the run game. If you get a chance watch some tape on him vs like arky when teams run at him they rip off chunks of yardage. I think he can help a team in pass rush situations but I don't think he's a top pick.

So you think Myles Garrett will not go in the 1st ten picks of the 2017 NFL Draft?

If it was tday no I don't. He could def improve on his game vs the run over the course of the season but right now he's not even avg. I don't see him as a 3 down player at present I think he can be a Bruce Irvin type right now. Just my opinion from what I've seen.
