Cook is a different back and doesn't hit the hole nearly as hard as Fournette, but he has better vision. He honestly has the best vision I've seen from a college RB in a few years. Depending on a team's need, Cook could get drafted higher. I'm not saying he's a better RB, but the idea of him getting drafted higher is not something only someone on drugs would say!

Dalvin Cook will get drafted before Fournette.


He might. Doesn't mean it's smart or that Cook is better than LF. 19% of cook's runs this year went for no gain or a loss. That's pretty bad. 25% of his runs last year went for no gain or a loss. That's pathetic. Have fun with that.

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?


Don't bring that shite around here.. didn't you hear? it's actually cool to bash fournette now

That's not how the draft works. Cook is a great back & I agree with you about his vision but Fournette is a rare combination of size, speed, hands that doesn't come around very often.

Teams rank every draft eligible player by position & when their turn comes up, they narrow the selection down by the highest rated player at a position of need. I would find it hard to believe that when the onfield production, Combine/Pro Day & physical measurables numbers are crunched, that any team will have Cook rated higher than Fournette. I do believe some teams will have them closely rated though.

The NFC south loves taking LSU players and kick the Saints arse with them. Tampa or Carolina look like good landing spots for him since the Saints avoid LSU players recently.

I have, but why bring it up in what was a pretty good thread.
And I've been defending LF against those mouthbreathers who have been bashing him.

Jalen Collins (ATL), Trai Turner (Car), Kwon Alexander (TB), Russell Sheppard (TB). There's a few Tigers in the NFC South bro.

Well your comment about Fournette not being able to run over NFL DBs was dumb. Do you even realize that many of the same DBs across the SEC who he has run over will be some of the same ones in the NFL trying to tackle him over the next several years?

I wasn't debating that but it's not like shep went for 10, 150 & 2 TDs against the saints




FWIW I DO NOT want fournette going to Carolina or Tampa Bay at all

Rush D actually wasn't really the issue this year for what it's worth.

Not sure but he won't get past #14. Colts need a RB.

Colts need to protect their franchise qb from getting his head taken off even more
