A month ago I would have absolutely hated this pick.
Today, I wouldn't love it, but I would recognize that it would improve this team in a significant way.
The kid can play.
He just needs to learn to read his blocks better.
The fact that he times at, basically, the same 40 as Cook was very eye opening as well.
I know the 40 is overrated, but prior to the draft, Cook was pitched as the "fast, quick RB" and Fournette was the "big, bruiser."
Well, the big bruiser is basically as fast as the fast quick RB in regards to straight line speed. And it shows up on film as well.
I would prefer we address a bigger need at 9, such as DE or possibly LB (although the only LB worth a top 10 pick had a pretty shitty combine weekend) , but if Fournette is sitting right there and there aren't any premium players left at those positions, I would be happy to have the kid on our team.
