leonard fournette

[BayouCatFan]

I am a huge LSU fan and watched almost all of Fournettes college games. That being said, I see him as more comparable to Herschel Walker. Great in the open field due to his size, power and speed. Below average at the line of scrimmage because of his lack of vision and below average cutting ability. IMO, he wasn't even LSU's best running back.

Yep, and I see Fournette as a player people are missing on.

Not saying you're wrong. In fact, I tend to agree with you on Leonard. But, just because you can form your own opinion while the other guy cites "expert" opinions, doesn't make you more correct by any means. We'll find out though.

That's not crazy, he's a good RB. He's on my list of players I hope we have a shot at. Jeremy McNicols, Joe Williams, Justin Davis, Jarvion Franklin, and Joel Bouagnon are the RB's I think are gonna be middle round guys who outplay draft position.

Anyone with a first name that doesn't start with a J? That's pretty discriminating.

Call me crazy, but I like Joe Williams out of Utah. Retired, unretired, whatever. That dude can run the rock.

How about Foreman?

I agree, he's no Ezekiel. I'm not big on McCaffery either. I like Cook.

Everyone hits and misses on draft analysis.

Using someone else's draft rankings should get a person automatically disqualified from a conversation. Jake Locker, Trent Richardson, Everson Gholston; these guys were top ranked draft picks by the "experts" as well.

If he's so overrated, then why is every draft having him going in the top 3-7 picks & why do most evaluators compare him to AD? He can run inside and outside. He can run through opponents and he can run away from them + he catches pretty well despite his subpar QB play

I'm not commenting on Fournette, because I don't feel one way or the other about him, but for comparisons sake here are some write-ups about another prospect who was a top 3-7 pick in mocks, and ended up going 3rd in the actual draft.

He was also the best prospect since AP. So pre draft comparisons and mock drafts, don't always mean much.

Yeah? Watch him in zone runs and watch how untalented he looks. Dudes got no vision, power scheme back only.

Sounds a lot like CJ Anderson...

[crash123go]

Zeke and Cook are much better prospects than Fournette.

I think Jeremy McNicols is a better RB prospect than Fournette.

[crash123go]

Fournette is the most talented RB that I've seen and the most ready pro since AD
