Get rid of Cooks and get the #5 pick. Get someone to trade up for Fournette @ #5 outside of the division.
What would that be worth? The goal is 4 new defensive players with 2 #1 and 2 #2 round picks. Sorry Mike the Tiger.

Wish the guy well, except when playing us, but I get the feeling Fournette will not be all that in the NFL...

See, Miles and LSU media blitz proclaimed he was the greatest before he earned the title...

He wasn't even performing as the best back at LSU when he left...

And now he's got that water weight...

You're certainly entitled to your opinion about what he'll be in the NFL, though I disagree with you on that. But what I really don't get is why I keep seeing comments like these that basically suggest he was overrated in college, or didn't live up to the hype. It seems people have a very short memory.

He was absolutely the best back in the country as a sophomore, and the only reason he didn't win the Heisman is because he didn't have a QB, and thus LSU didn't win enough games to get him the votes. He was every bit what we thought he could be during that time. He also ran for a thousand yards as a freshman, despite not being a full time starter til about midway through the season.

Last year, he was hurt. And yet, he STILL ran all over people when he was on the field, even though it wasn't at the level of the previous year. Yes, Derrius Guice was outperforming him this past year. Derrius Guice was healthy. Guice also is probably the new title holder of best RB in the NCAA.

So to make Fournette out to be some over-hyped media darling is not fair, or accurate, in my humble opinion.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I could see someone doing something pretty crazy to get Fournette. Not that crazy though.

Yeah I know but unlike most LSU players were talent is not the issue and football IQ is. In SP eyes - I am guessing.

Ethan Pocic is just the opposite. may not be the most gifted player out there but he has the smarts and attitude to make up for it.

So if my assumption is right about SP view point on LSU players, he is an option.
