Fournette declares for the 2017 NFL Draft

Fournette's really good, but I'd wait a year and get his backup Derrius Guice.  That kid is unbelievable.

While I agree that Guice is tremendous, just waiting and hoping for a player to fall to the right pick in a draft that is well over a year out probably isn't going to work. Guice may not even come out after next season, though I believe he will.

McShay had Fournette #1 overall on his big board, and mentions us as maybe the most likely destination.  Usually the opposite happens in these types of projections but Sweet Baby James please lose this weekend and keep this dream alive.  Please.

McCaffrey just declared...not a fulltime back possibly...but able to catch out of the backfield and make people miss.  If he bulks up a little bit he can become a pretty decent RB, reminds me of a Sproles type of player.   Could get him a little later in the draft as well?

I imagine he'd be better suited to an Edelman type of role TBH.  I don't think he'll make much of a RB at the next level.  Put him in the slot, and he could be a beast for a long time.

Clowney has looked good at times this season. He's had a great year. 

This is true, but he's not what they thought they drafted.

He's become a solid run-stopper, but only 3 sacks.  You don't spend the 1st overall pick in the NFL Draft because you hope you're drafting a solid edge run-stopper.  You're expecting him to be a terror off the edge to the opposing quarterback.

I assume you're an Auburn fan?  A lot of Auburn in these highlights for you to be so blah on Fournette 

 

I'm not "blah on Fournette".

I've just watched them both and I think Guice is better.

And if you think that 200+ he put up on Auburn's defense in 2015 was impressive, dig deeper and look at just how bad Auburn's defense was that year.

    • Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.
    • What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!
    • This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
