Fournette has been dealing with an ankle injury. That's the reason he's sitting out. The "abandoning his teammates" thing is just a lazy narrative.

I can't see a scenario where I would want him in the top 10 if I'm the Bengals. I can't actually see drafting safety in the first round if I'm the Bengals either.

Didn't stop him from playing against Florida when he got pissed. And didn't he say he wasn't playing BBC he wanted to prepare for NFL draft? He said he talked to his coach and they agreed same as mccaffrey.

It was dumb of him to get mad and play and it was dumb of the coaching staff to let him. To be honest, him playing with that injury probably hurt the team, especially with the way Guice played this season. Maybe they talked about that and it influenced the decision for the bowl game. None of us were invited to the meeting, so none of us know what was actually said.

That's true. I honestly would not want him if he fell to us anyway. He has had those ankle injuries. Now if mccafery fell to the third... dream scenario

I actually like Fournette, but I also think we have bigger needs in the 1st than another RB.

didn't have the refs in their pockets. I know they have Bell back and Ladarius Green might hurt us a bit but i
think our Defense will be pumped after Bell's comments. Our Defense gives Pitt problems, especially Ben.
The Texans Offense is terrible and our Defense has been playing much better lately.
The Texans coach isn't Kubiak either who Marv always had a tough time coaching against.
We should beat the Ravens in our place.
You could be right but i see us winning out and picking in the middle of the first.
Looks like you were right Hammerstripes and i was completely wrong.
We might beat the Ravens now, doubt we beat the Texans with Burfict out.
Top 10 pick is looking very likely.

And Fournette was injured this year and i find Dalvin Cook to be a better RB all the way around...

Lane Kiffin abandons another team once again.
