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

The vertical leap/DNP broad/DNP bench is quite worrying for me, though.

They haven't done three cone or shuttles yet, I don't believe, but the 28.5" vertical is tied for third worst among RB. The broad as you said is generally a measurement of explosive power but he chose not to do it. If you're going to be the heaviest RB, you should at least be the strongest too, but he also didn't do the bench.

It might mean nothing, but I don't want potential red flags popping up for a top-10 pick. Those are the picks you can't afford to mess up on, and there's simply too many talented productive RB who come out of the later rounds every year to risk the 9th overall on a RB.

Thanks for the fumble stats. That's certainly not a few, but not a ton. Also admittedly have no idea how fumbles translate from college to pros. Was AP a huge fumbler in college?

I used to not want Fournette, sounds like you are warming up a bit as well.

I don't put that much stock in the combine though either. I like watching the guy run the ball, he is damn good at it.

One of the best in many years, i still like Dalvin Cook better but both of these guys would improve our Offense IMHO.

Fournette is so damn fast once he hits a hole, i haven't seen a back faster, no matter the size.

Dalvin can make people miss and is more dynamic, really like Cook.
