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


2. 49ers - have Carlos Hyde already at RB
3. Bears - have Jordan Howard and Jeremy Langston
4. Jaguars - only realistic chance LF has at going top 5, but they have a lot of needs and may decide to stick with Ivory and Yeldon
5. Titans - have Demarco Murray and Derrick Henry

This isn't the correct order.

Saints are picking 11th, for instance

B- i think he makes sense for the Jets at 6, they could use a young back to take over for an aging matt forte

just looking at the top 15 draft order:

Jacksonville Jaguars: 3-12 (.533)

New Orleans Saints: 7-8 (.511)
Philadelphia Eagles via Minnesota Vikings: 7-8 (.542)


That's not the final order. Look at the records next to team names...only 15 games on everyone's record. This was the order prior to the final game. I think the top 7 is unchanged, but I know Carolina is picking 8th ahead of Cincinnati.

Agree with yimbeaux. 6th to the Jets. Matte Forte eveolves as a 3rd down back as he enters the twilight of his career making way for Fournette to take over. He would be huge in the Big Apple.

If he goes to Chicago at 3, he'll win a Super Bowl next year..... per Alshon Jeffrey. So thats exciting.

I'm sticking with my prediction that I've been saying for months now and I'm going with Jacksonville. Bortles can't carry that team alone and they need a consistent RB to rely upon as well as taking pressure off Bortles. Fournette is a game changer and he'll be a superstar in Jacksonville.

A.

Tom Coughlin absolutely covets running backs like Fournette. Come on over to Jax at #4 Leonard!!!

Jacksonville's O-line is pretty bad. Hard to be a superstar at RB behind a bad O-line. Ezekial Elliot fell into the perfect situation as a rookie RB...being drafted by a team who had a major need at RB but already had the top rated O-line in the league.

I think Jags should make O-line their top priority because better line helps Bortles and RB isn't as pressing of a need since they have Ivory and Yeldon on the roster already

i hope he falls to C or D. Let him play for a good team. RBs have shorter careers. I hope a good team gets him

A, 1-5 would be best. Talent wise we know he's tops. But we know what teams need and depending on what they do in free agency... selfishly I want him in Miami but he won't drop to 22 and with Jay Ajayai's ballin... Probably not

I think a team will trade up with Tennessee and grab him at 5. Maybe Cleveland trading up from 12 after taking a QB at 1 to jump Carolina.

Would be shocked if he gets out of the top ten.

If he is still on the board at 11, there is no way the Saints should pass regardless of other needs.
