Mel Kiper thought Clausen was going to be amazing. You don't think that claiming Fournette will be better than AP is fricking ridiculous? 


Mel Kiper was a nobody who ESPN picked up back in the early 80s to help with their draft coverage. Kiper has NEVER been involved as a scout, director of player personnel or GM professionally in his life. Sorry if you take what he says as gospel. Gil Brandt on the other hand has drafted more Hall of Famers than you can shake a stick at. Whether you want to hear it or not, his word holds weight in the football unlike Kiper's. The modern scouting process is based off the model Brandt designed in the 60s so he knows a lil something when it comes to eyeing talent.

Speaking as though it is a lock that Fournette will be one of the greatest NFL running backs of all time. 


Fournette's body type & skill set are very similar to both Jim Brown & Earl Campbell.

I guess Fournette will be a lock for 2k yards in a season, and an MVP. It is written. It will happen.

No, I'm being rational.


Fournette could* be great, but acting as though it's a guarantee he'll be AP is absurd to me.
