I know the Cardinals have other needs but if they draft another LSU player I'd officially be a fan

Jets

Forte is on his last legs and they desperately need something to make up for lack of QB

My thoughts exactly, Forte needs a break.

Most teams drafting early need help at QB and interior line. As usual, there will be a run on OT's which will cause a domino effect

Carolina (8) and the NYG (23) both need help at RB.

MIN doesn't have a 1st rd pick, as I can see them offering multiple draft choices with NE to draft up and aquire AP's future replacement

Are you saying the jets are content with Powell and Forte?

If the Jets draft Fournette and then somehow grab Romo from Dallas they'd instantly be a contender.

New York is a realistic possibility. Doubt Carolina drafts a rb that early.

They already have the most versatile RB currently in the NFL. They need WR help with letting Malcolm Floyd go & Larry Fitzgerald getting up there in age. Mike Williams WR Clemson

Same reason why I think Guice is a better pro prospect. Both he and Cook are better in space than LF.




Nothing against Cook or Guice who are great backs but why do people keep saying this? Do people not realize how underutilized Fournette was in the Tigers passing game? He has great hands & will run over NFL DBs on simple swing passes & check downs. Those are give up plays by taking what the defense gives. Fournette will take those plays & turn them into big plays in the pros.

My non biased opinion is that D. Cook comes off the board first. He's a much better fit for what offenses do in the NFL today. Same reason why I think Guice is a better pro prospect.
it might be non biased, but it's also very foolish. Fournette is a true complete back. Cook and Guice will probably not enter the NFL as every down backs. LF is as ideal a rb as there could possibly be. Guice might be slightly better in open space, but he won't be able to take the NFL beating that LF can immediately. Guice will not be a solid 1st down back when he is drafted. He'll get there, but it won't be quickly.

1. Probably to the Panthers with Cam, like their version of Dak and Zeke.
2. Pros have said LF7 is better than Zeke. Talent has been compared to fricking AP.
3. Zeke personally skipped an OSU game to see LF7 in action.
4. Dalvin Cook plays against weak defenses in the ACC.
5. Dalvin Cook didn't do shite against Ole Miss, whereas LF7 lit up Ole Miss on like 16 carries.
6. LF7 did more with a one-dimensional predictable offense against SEC defenses.

Anyone who says that Cook would be taken before LF7 or that LF7 will fall past the first round are idiots, ignorant of football, or trolls.

I say the Bears take him


Jordan Howard says hello.



All of the talk about outstanding rookie running backs has been about Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. He has been spectacular, leading the league in rushing and being considered for the MVP award.

However, Elliott has started the entire season and played behind the best offensive line in the NFL. Howard may rush for 1,300 yards on a terrible team, while only starting 12 games.

The Bears need a lot of work, but Howard at least gives them something to start the rebuilding process.

You mean like people said Peterson wasn't going to run over NFL DBs either?



Do you even realize Peterson plays at 210-215 lbs? Fournette is 235lbs & just as fast. What do you think he will do 190-200lbs DBs in the NFL?

Pretty much every FSU fan down here in Orlando said cook would be taken before LF.
