Unless he goes #1 he will fall into B. Probably get picked up by Panthers.

Wherever these teams are is where he'll go: Jets, Panthers or Bears.

B.
But wish to God he would fall to/or the Saints move up to get him. I've owned 2 Saints jersies in my life (Brees, Jackson as a kid), But would buy Fournette the day after the draft.

No way. And if the saints pass him up I'll lose my mind.

just looking at the top 15 draft order:

Cleveland Browns: 1-14 (.540)
San Francisco 49ers: 2-13 (.496)
Chicago Bears: 3-12 (.522)
Jacksonville Jaguars: 3-12 (.533)
Tennessee Titans via Los Angeles Rams: 4-11 (.462)
New York Jets: 4-11 (.522)
San Diego Chargers: 5-10 (.533)
Cincinnati Bengals: 5-9-1 (.527)
Carolina Panthers: 6-9 (.513)
Cleveland Browns via Philadelphia Eagles: 6-9 (.540)
Arizona Cardinals: 6-8-1 (.478)
Buffalo Bills: 7-8 (.496)
Indianapolis Colts: 7-8 (.511)
New Orleans Saints: 7-8 (.511)
Philadelphia Eagles via Minnesota Vikings: 7-8 (.542)


the top 5 have so much bigger needs than RB but then again besides the Titans & Bears they really could use a RB as well.

earliest I see him going is to Jax and latest I see him going to the Panthers.

I dont think he'll go to the Bears. I think they like what they've seen from Jordan Howard

The Saints don't need a RB

LF is a top 3 talent but the teams in the top 10 won't be able to justify spending the pick on the position

Any of 2-5 could use him badly. Not just for wins but for excitement.

B. - Carolina Panthers

1. Cleveland needs a QB
2. 49ers need a QB and to work on their O-line
3. Chicago needs to work on their secondary (Jamal Adams looks or Tre White looks good here)
4. Jags lines are weak. Fournette would be useless there
5. Titans are loaded at RB with Murray and Henry
6. Jets not too sure what they need
7. Chargers I'm not sure who is behind Rivers, but Keenan Allen is getting injured all the time. They may be in for another WR.
8. Panthers - Jonathan Stewart has some injuries. He's been in the league for 9 or 10 seasons now. Carolina needs an upgrade.

Doubtful. Everyone at the top of the draft order has a whole lot more pressing needs than RB with early 1st round picks. I'm thinking 8th pick to the Panthers. Only team ahead of Carolina who might consider a RB that early would be Jacksonville but I think they can ride it out with Ivory and Yeldon at RB and have more pressing needs with the #4 pick.

The Saints don't use the RB's they have. While i understand the love affair with Fournette, he isn't a good match for the Saints. Saints need defense.
