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

Fournette will go 1st round but not top 5

It's like comparing Jordan to Lebron, in a 1 to 1 comparison Lebron is just flat out superior.


In today's league where it's a foul to look at someone dirty...Jordan would dominate. He used to get mugged, molested and choke slammed on the way to the basket.

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

The biggest homer statement ever.

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



He may not escape the first round, and the saints don't pick up guys with any kind of off field issues in the first round.

It's too early to be confident, but I've got Fournette somewhere around 10-12.

The best QB's, OT's, and pass rushers are more valuable than the best RB's, even one as good as Fournette.

Comparatively, the RB you can get in the early 2nd is going to be better than the OT, QB, DE, OLB, etc, especially with next year's draft eligible crop.

No team will pick Lawson #1 with his history of injuries



There's no denying his talent. But with his history, I'd be shocked to see him go in the first round at all. That's an very big gamble.

How is he out of the backfield? I feel like he doesn't catch many passes.

He has WR type hands but hasn't been thrown to very often. He's an above-average blocker as well. The only way I could see a RB going first would be a SB contender winding up with the pick via trade or such and deciding to go for broke. Tom Landry traded up to #2 in the '77 draft to get Dorsett and would have gone to the top spot if necessary to get the player he wanted. And of course, Dorsett did help the Cowboys win the world championship that first season.
