Jesus dude. You took that way too far.
Okay let me break it down for the vaginas around here : if the Saints didn't have any other holes to fill, didn't have to give up anything to get him, and needed a runningback...who wouldn't want Leonard on the saints?
Got it? It was a damn wish. I'm a LSU and Saints fan. So I for one would want to see Leonard playing on my team.
And for the record I'd take Fournette over Ingram any day.

Fournette is considered the top running back prospect since Adrian Peterson, as he's received higher grades than Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott. He was slowed by an injury in 2016, but his tape in 2015 was some of the best a running back prospect has ever displayed.

I think the Rant's catch phrase of 2016 that "Fournette lacks vision" is not accurate.
I agree with this 100%. Vision might not be his top attribute but he has more than enough to be a force in the NFL. In 2015 he was incredible at finding the cutback lane and exploding through it.
He has the vision. What he needs to work on is patience. That will come though.

Hell even his 2016 tape is sick, even though he wasn't at a 100%

The homers on here can't understand that RB isn't the most important position on an NFL team. It might have been 30 years ago, but not in today's pro game.
Now of course, it depends on team needs, but most NFL GMs look to fill other spots before they grab a RB.

Not trying to argue, but I don't think it's a vision issue with Fournette. I think it's a patience issue. At times he doesn't allow the play to develop and actually gets in front of his blockers.
But what do I know...

s the guy discusses, Fournette will probably struggle some because he lacks great vision
At no point did he say that.

Its not and anyone that says it is doesnt understand football. No person paid to evaluate talent thinks LF'S vision is a weakness. His speed,power,and agility are better than his vision. That doesnt mean his vision is lacking. Look up the 1st 4 scouting reports on LF and they all say his vision is an asset. Even in the video the guy said LF'S vision is fine but he reads holes better inside out than outside in.

A once in generation talent at rb is still top 5 pick worthy.
Look at how much better Zeke made Dallas' offense.

He had A GRAT O-LINE.... LF7 is going to go to A real bad team if drafted in the top 10.. The reason??? A terrible O-LINE.... Not A good combination for an aspiring RB....

Fool.

A player always has to read them hoes from outside in to see what they working with first.

Terrible example because the Saints offensive line didn't play bad this year. Matter of fact they were ranked 12th by PFF.
quote:
12. New Orleans Saints (8)
Top overall grade: RT Zach Strief, 86.8 (No. 14)
Top pass-blocking grade: LT Terron Armstead, 86.2 (tied for No. 10)
Top run-blocking grade: RT Zach Strief, 82.3 (No. 14)
Injury hit the Saints’ line this season, and LT Terron Armstead—well on his way to being one of the best tackles in the league—played just 397 snaps across seven games, leaving more than one of those contents injured. The Saints didn’t have an adequate replacement plan in place, and Andrus Peat was inconsistent (at best) as he moved between left tackle and left guard all season. Zach Strief was the team’s best lineman at RT, allowing two sacks over 717 pass-blocking snaps, but Max Unger also played well in the center, giving up only 12 total QB pressures all season. If this unit gets Armstead back and healthy, it has the potential to be far better in a hurry.
PFF Offensive Line Rankings
Also Mark Ingram ran for 1,043 yards at 5.1 yards per carry behind the Saints offensive line. You would have better off using a team like the Rams as an example. Their piss poor run blocking resulted in a subpar season for Todd Gurley.

I never said he didnt have a good line. He still made that offense better by being a great rb. He only was being mentioned as an mvp candidate. And all the nfl teams picking in the top 10 dont have bad lines. I guess you dont keep up with nfl teams.

Show me where i said that dumbass. I said Zeke made the Dallas offense better. Im sorry you have the reading comprehension of a crayon.
But Zeke wouldve put up better numbers than Ingram.
Its like you dont understand that great rbs are few and far between.

I agreed with that until the last two lines in the weaknesses.his route running will be top end and his blocking better than average. I think he will be a destroyer in the NFL off the screen pass and the wheel route .
