6 players might could go #1, but they'd all have to be qb's, ot's, and/or de's.

it will be a QB, a tackle (to protect qb) or a DE (to hit qb). it's a qb league and everything revolves around them.

Yea I guess if Cleveland has the #1 overall pick it's possible, but I don't even think they would be that dumb.

Not saying Fournette should go 1 overall but he's no doubt a better NFL RB prospect than Reggie Bush.

2. Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami


I've seen nothing out of kaaya that would indicate him going number 1

Second coming of Cam, maybe even better.

I'd be extremely surprised if Lawson went #1. I think he has the talent for it but unfortunately those injuries will bite him.

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.


We'll see. Adrian Peterson talent with no injury history like AP.

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.


Meh, unless Fournette has some freak injury, he is a 10+ year vet. His durability is also something people rarely talk about.

LF isn't going to play 10 yrs. big backs simply don't last that long.

If Chubb comes back and continues his 100+ yard per game streak. He will go before LF.

Fournette has great pass-catching abilities out of the backfield.

Problem is, our QB throws screen passes at 95mph straight into the ground.

He'd actually be a good fit behind Brees. As a Saints fan, I'd be thrilled getting Kelly in the second round.

Elliot just went 4th. Don't think it'll happen but not as crazy as it sounds.

Barry Sanders is the greatest running back to ever touch a football. Sorry bro.

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


I hate this statement. The Cowboys just took zeke at 4. If the moment presents itself and a team is desperate for a running back, they will take the back.

Booger isn't good enough to be the first player chosen in the draft. FACT!!!

Even restomond agrees with me.
