and Reggie Bush was compared to Marcus Allen and Barry Sanders...How many Michael Jordan's are there?
comparisons dont always hold water.
I like aspects of LF7's game. He has incredible size and speed/vision for that size.
Concerns:
Competition. People in the NFL want to and will hit LF7 how does he react to it?
Individual Skillset: I don't see Adrian Peterson when I watch him. Even the Ole Miss game a couple weeks ago. He was hitting holes 15 yards in parameter and going 75 yards almost untouched. Those holes dont exist in the NFL game.
I see subtleness in his moves...but even his trucks are not natural they are usually givens. Players that gave up on the play and appear just to be trying to get him down...reminds me more of a Tebow or a Richardson on the college level. These players are being dominated not by pure talent buy by a gap in competition.
I dont see next level dominance in LF7 when watching him. AP if you watched him in college had "IT". LF7 is not the same back IMO. He might be as good as Gurley but he is not AP.
I also doubt his overall versatility as a back beyond being a direct workhorse running the ball. He does not seem like a natural at pass catching like a Marshall Faulk, David Johnson, LT21, etc.
He might take years to develop that skillset/might never click for him. In this offense that should be weighed as a considerable risk considering how we prefer to be a bit unpredictable with our formations and try not to tip our hat.

Lol, I just want us to do what any semi smart football team does. You draft the best player in the first round. Period, no exceptions. Quit talking about what we need when talking about first round picks.
And I'm only posting because the above has to be the worst scouting opinion I may have ever seen. Truly makes me wonder if you've ever watched Fournette play. Just absolute lunacy.
