Jeremy's running style did well for us until he decided he wanted to run like Gio instead of a power back. Plus, Fournette is just better, stronger, and faster than J. Hill. Unless he gets hurt, I think he's going to be a franchise RB in the NFL. If he's there at 9, I 'd take him. I don't know wtf the Bengals will do. Probably, like Lapham says, take a pass rusher. And in Bengals-Land that probably means DE, so Thomas or Barnett will be the pick. Neither one really thrills me, but I'm one who thinks our Offense is stagnant. We need another BIG weapon. 

That could be one of 5 players, maybe 6. I'm just not that high on Williams as a WR. 

I agree with you about Mixon. He might be a better RB than Fournette. Voch Lombardi certainly as me leaning that way. But we don't know if he'll be there in the 2nd Round. He won't last longer than that.

I'm not certain that OJ Howard wouldn't be the best option. #1 he's a great blocking TE. #2 he's a very tall, fast, and strong receiver with great hands. He'd improve our running game AND our passing attack. 

John Ross is another one. That kind of speed and athleticism combined with an ability to run strong routes and make catches is pretty freakish. How can you NOT think about taking this guy to put across from AJ?

Same with Corey Davis, though he's a different receiver just because of his size difference. Davis reminds me of AJ when I watch him run his routes. He just knows how to get separation and has better hands than Ross, though he's not as fast, which doesn't mean he's slow. He's just closer to this side of human compared to Ross with his 4.2 40 time or whatever it was. 

Dalvin Cook's name needs to be mentioned, but I'm not sure that our offensive brain-trust has the brains to know how to use him effectively. We seem to have a hard time getting our RBs mixed into the passing game. That's a big part of Cook's game. But Mixon is a crazy good pass catcher, too. I'd take Mixon over Cook, I think, but it's not because I think Cook is garbage.
