As much as I love LF, no GM in his right mind would take a RB 1st overall in the draft. No matter how good he is.

Shelf life of NFL RBs are just too short and it is also too much of a passing league to make that kind of investment in a running back.

Bush didn't even go first overall. Fournette won't either

How is he out of the backfield? I feel like he doesn't catch many passes. What about pass blocking? If he can get above average at those and be a true 3 down back he could go #1. But more likely someone who can win now will draft up for him, at least best case scenario.

LF7 may be the first RB chosen. And deservedly so. But the days of RBs going first in the draft are over.

Fournette WILL be first RB chosen, but will not go #1 overall.

Fournette is the greatest RB to ever play the game. He will be the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft

Will be the 1st overall pick.

I do think the SEC will end up with 5 of the top 10 picks though.

None of the above. NFL enamored with acorns currently. No need for slo-mo replay.

No matter how much I think of him I don't know if we will ever see a RB go #1 again.
