Could Leonard Fournette Be Drafted No. 1 Overall By The Cleveland Browns?

by Staff Reporter

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports says that LSU running back Leonard Fournette could be drafted No. 1 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.

The keyword is "could" as many believe Texas A&M's Myles Garret will go No. 1 to the Browns.

Some have suggested to me that Fournette is even in play at No. 1 with the Browns. Yes, you read that correctly. I don’t see that happening, and in the end, I suspect the Browns take pass rusher Myles Garrett. But then again, the Browns are capable of some extreme curve balls in that front office and their version of analytics tends to swing outside of convention. Maybe someone believes the devaluation of running backs has gone too far.

How high do you think Fournette will be selected in the NFL Draft?

I hope for his sake this doesn't happen. That place is a black hole.

I hope Garrett goes to the Browns so Fournette has a shot at a good career.

OweO•85 months

I hope not. That's something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Hangit•85 months

Garrett's work ethic should fit in fine up there.

Trying too hard

Adams is better prospect. He can play different positions with his speed.

lol wut?

Id love to see Fournette or Adam to go first for the prestige (they both deserve it) But I would much rather see someone from the Yell Team get stuck in Cleveland worked out well for the last one.

Lsu101205•85 months

Adams.... Are we ever going to get an edit button?

Cleveland Brown draft choices: The proverbial "kiss of death".

Fournette isn't falling past the Jaguars. Unless the Jags get out of that 4th spot he gone early regardless.

The Mick•85 months

He'll probably go first and second overall.

Doubt it... Thanks to Trent Richardson.

Hopefully Fournette and Adams will go to AFC teams that way the Saints won't have to play them twice a year, like they do with division opponents.

keakar•85 months

I sure hope they do pick him, that would increase the odds we get a good DE pick at #11, I hope just about everyone goes with offense picks in the top 10 picks

YellaPurp•85 months

I'd rather the Browns draft him over going to Carolina......same with Jamal Adams

Big Sway•85 months

Yes, it will shock everyone! The next Jim Brown will right that ship. IMO better than Garrett...

whoyodaddy•85 months

He should be the first pick, but let's hope for him and all LSU fans that Cleveland keeps thinking like Cleveland always does and passes on him.

ljhog•85 months

Given the history of this franchise I'd say there is a strong possibility they'll screw up and draft him first overall.

Spankem•85 months

Not the Browns, any place but the browns....noooooooohhhh!!!!

Lilpickles•85 months

Lol Trent ...

I love how a bunch of people are saying no not the browns! Why not exactly? It's not like they haven't had successful players before and they have a pretty solid OL now should they mesh with a decent WR Group and supposed offensive guru at HC, should they find a competent QB Leonard Fournette will have everything he needs to succeed.

Mr. Hangover•85 months

Dude, you just regurgitated the same preseason analysis for the browns that has applied for more than a decade now.. they're always a QB, an offensive line, a good RB, and a competent defense away from being contenders

alumni95•85 months

Because it's been since Bernie Kosar since they have been close to relevant, and 75-80% if the under 40-year olds prob don't even know who that is

theunknownknight•85 months

Even if Fournette goes number 1, Guice will go higher next year because Guice >> Fournette

hopesolos_turdcutter•85 months

How do you go higher?

hopesolos_turdcutter•85 months

How do you go higher?

Hook Em Horns•85 months

i mean that would set some kind of record going higher than number 1 right? You fricking idiot. I mean how fricking dumb are you? Go take some more shirtless bathroom selfies you fricking moron.
