FSU also had a passing game to take pressure off. Fournette had a lot of success when teams knew that he was it. Both players had to carry their teams at times and both, for the most part, were able to. There are about 10-12 guys I would be really happy with if the Bengals got them, both Cook and Fournette are on the list.

As of right now, I would bet the Panthers would take Fournette if he was available and him and Cam will beat teams into submission for a while. I also would bet that the Bengals wouldn't take either one if they had the chance, so it's kind of a moot point anyway. I have a bad feeling someone will sign Dre away and we go corner again.

Yep, the Noles did have a passing game, though it struggled at times due to age at QB, too much pressure from a porous o line, and not much in the way of real threats outside of Rudolph.  Cook also excelled in the passing game, which is honestly what makes me like him more than Leonard.....and I feel he is shiftier and more elusive.  We'll need that elusiveness with the way this line plays.  We have been terrible in the run game for years because our shit o line coach thinks it's cute to sit back and play patty cake instead of firing off the ball and smacking somebody in the mouth.

You're most likely correct in that they'll pass on both.  My fear is you take the most "blah" player in the first round, and that will be who we get.  If I hadn't gotten older, and become so numb to it, I'd be furious....
