re: How many RB's in the NFL are better (more talented) than Leonard Fournette?

Yes and this is the reason why he's considered a first round lock despite being a RB. He's viewed as being potentially the next great NFL RB but this what people think is going to happen. There were plenty of people (Jim Brown excluded) that thought Trent Richardson was going to be the next great thing too. Every single mock draft and draft "expert" had him going in the top 10 and he did.
If you look at some of the draft busts, many of them were almost widely regarded as bust proof and future all-pros.
I want to make it clear that I am NOT saying LF=TR. I do think LF is capable of being a great RB in the NFL. However he's yet to play a down in the NFL and it's too soon to say matter of factually that he will be an all-pro RB until he does so.

It was the same story with Fournette from high school to college.

The ones who were bust were not bust because of lack of talent, it always goes back to lack of work ethic and/or character issues that teams either miss or completely ignore.

Bama's front 7 has embarassed LSU's O-Line the last 2 years. I really wouldn't judge Fournette based on those 2 games. He was regularly getting hit in the backfield or trying to run through a hole that was completely jammed.
Fournette has just as good or better numbers than any Bama RB against SEC opponents...and that's with a worse O-Line than Bama.
