Bengals say they want a major impact player at Pick 9....Bengals like Fournette who was rated by 247 Sports as the # 2 college recruit in 2014 only behind Myles Garrett. Myles Garrett goes in as the top rated NFL draft pick in 2017 but Fournette is one of the top RBs and 11th best player on CBS draft ranking charts. He gets compared to NFL Larry Johnson and some even say the best combo of size, speed and power since Adrian Peterson. ......Reuben Foster was ranked by 247 Sports as the # 15 college recruit in 2013. He is ranked by CBS Sports as the 9th best player in the NFL draft and the # 1 Linebacker. He gets compared to NFL Patrick Willis. CBS Sports says with all due respect to Myles Garrett and other defense players in this draft that Foster may be the most explosive and intimidating hitter sideline to sideline in this draft.
So we end up with a great RB and in 2017 have a top stable of fresh legs in Fournette, Hill and hopefully a healthy Bernard. Don't say that is too many because Dallas drafted Elliott but still took him out in games putting in fresh legs. Plus if Bernard still injured and Burkhead gone, Hill by himself probably not enough. Nobody can make every carry in a season.
Or we get a great Linebacker that is said to be the hardest hitter in the draft. Burfict hits pretty hard also. I don't know where he fits in with Burfict and Minter, but Bengals would have some very intimidating hard hitting linebackers. Maybe the hardest hitting linebackers in NFL. You put that behind Atkins and Dunlap and in front of our good secondary and that could be a Super Bowl Defense.
I don't know which one, but they have to pick Fournette or Foster to grab that High School and College Super Stud Game changing Impact Player at Pick # 9. Either one would be an exciting choice for our Bengals.
Usually players that are considered top college recruits and then later top NFL picks, These stars from high school on up often end up Pro Bowl Players, such as AJ Green. Either one of these picks is an exciting pick at pick # 9 and I read the Bengals like both of them very much.
