If Fournette is there at #9, the Bengals Take Him

But he might be the fastest, big RB since Earl Campbell, his burst is amazing, he punishes defenders with his
shoulder and he CAN catch the ball out of the backfield. I would definately be for it now, we need another RB if
we don't bring back Rex and even if we do with Gio's injury and Hill's poor play.

I like Dalvin Cook a touch more but i am definately warming up to Fournette.

I bet the Panthers want him though too. If the Panthers take him i would take Dalvin Cook and be real happy
about it. Both of these guys ran behind bad O-lines as well in college so no big deal. The running game would
instantly be better with either one of these backs.

Heck, bring in Pocic too at Center the one good O-lineman they had at LSU.

Fournette, Mckinley, Pocic in the first 3 rounds.

The only weakness i see and others have mentioned with Fournette is he reads gap schemes only right now.

Also......I see A LOT of fullback play in his game film.  I was warming up, but after watching breakdown, seeing the FB a bunch, seeing him not have very good lateral movement and the ability to cut all that well....I'm thinking very bad fit here. It's LSU, bad line is a relative statement.  Compared to years' past, yes, and when the entire stadium knows you're running.....well, they may look a little worse than they are. If we play Hewitt more, and fix the line, he might be a good fit.  I've cooled way down on him.
