Fournette and Saints rendevous

Fournette should be a great NFL back; but why draft another bruiser when you know Payton and Brees are running Air Coryell?

Better fit will be Christian McCaffrey who'll be better in screens, draws, lining up outside, and the return game...

At least we can have a RB chewing up clock and still keeping Air Coryell flying high...

Not totally sold on McCaffrey, it's the durability thing I'm questioning. However, I think you're spot on about Fournette not being a good fit. We really don't smash mouth and we're not gonna as long as Payton's around. Sorry Smashmouth.

If Payton has been talking about him (he has), we probably won't draft him. I remember last month SP stated "he's a great player, but will not play a full-time roll". Possible Pre draft chess match to scare others away.
