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

Fournette
YPC with good run blocking: 8.7
YPC with poor run blocking: 4.6

Cook
YPC with good run blocking: 7.5
YPC with poor run blocking: 5.9

How they measure good vs. poor run blocking is an unknown, but thought it would be interesting to throw this out there given the current state of our OL.

Thanks for this Rob. Makes sense to me. Fournette can lean a bit forward and get off balance, he does not have
the balance nor the cut back ability that Cook has nor the ability to make defenders miss. Defenses can gang tackle
Fournette and stop him like Bama did against him.

I really like Fournette and would be happy if we picked him but i definately like Dalvin Cook more for us.
