If the Jags take Fournette at #4, he better be the next Adrian Peterson.

He better average, at the very minimum, 1000 rushing yards per season and he better do it for at least 8 seasons.

Otherwise he'll be considered a bust.

Still rather see that game changing TE in OJ Howard taken something we have never really had

Would much rather have Howard at #4 over a RB at #4.

Fournette is the same type of RB as Ivory, but Fournette has much better speed. Yea, he's more talented as well, but they're literally the exact same type of runner.

Neither one can create on their own and they both need big holes to build up speed. That's why LSU ran so many toss plays for Fournette, so they could let him build up his speed.

You draft a RB at #4 overall, in a class as deep as this RB class is. He better be the one of the best RBs in the NFL from day 1 and eventually be the best RB in the NFL in a season or two. He better be a first ballot HoFer when it's said and done as well.

I mean, your team did pick Bortles #3 overall right? How can anything surprise you at this point?

I'm saying they reached before and with the success first round RBs have found lately, it wouldn't be too surprising. Hope for your sale it doesn't happen. No need to get salty, Eric.

Comparing drafting a QB vs a RB....

And what about all the success that RBs have had who've been drafted beyond the first round?

What about all the undrafted RBs? Are we going to keep producing superfluous hypotheticals or would you like to actually discuss something?

I'm waiting for you to tell me why you have to draft a RB at the top of the 1st round to find success, when history clearly shows that you don't.
