I would say Jacksonville. They need someone who's going to put asses in seats. LF will do that.

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 agree about both Elliot and the Jags O-line. But Coughlin is a proven winner who absolutely knows his shite when it comes to football. No doubt he's well aware of the o-line issues. Good thing for them is they have tons of money to spend. I would suspect they will address the line in free agency and the draft. Another thing too is that Coughlin and Marrone are bringing in a whole new mindset. That mindset is that you'd better work your arse off or you will not be on the team. Bradley's soft, player's coach approach is history. Combine that with Coughlin's expertise and I think they can start to improve the line sooner rather than later. And again, as I stated previously... he LOVES running backs like LF.

RB isn't as pressing of a need since they have Ivory and Yeldon on the roster already

Neither Ivory nor Yeldon will ever be superstars in the league. Fournette very well could be and could be a very solid piece of the foundation for the next era of winning teams here. Coughlin established that here previously with Freddie T at running back.

won't be able to justify spending the pick on the position


Don't be too sure, Dallas is making it alot easier to justify taking a top RB early.

I agree. LF isn't that special when he gets hit behind the LOS

Do you care about him. He would be useless with any of those. I hope B. Carolina would be a great fit for him.

C

A team can pick up a good running back later in the draft for much less money. Also, Fournette is coming off an injury so teams, warranted or not, are going to question his health. Another factor is Fournette is great when he can get a head of steam going, but in the NFL players are faster, bigger and stronger. Personally, I think Guice is a better back because of his versatility and his ability to create something when nothing is there.

Anyone who says the bears is retarded. Jordan Howard was 2nd in the league with over 1300 rushing yards behind an average o line
