He's faster, a superior receiver, a capable blocker and more reliable (3 years of great production).

Never say never. Cook isn't being hyped up in a stacked defensive draft.

Stacked defensive draft you say?

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Mock drafts crack me up as all these people look at is stats. I just saw a mock by SBnation where Darius English, DE from South Carolina is pick #32 overall. As a USC grad, I can say there is no way in hell that happens. I hope we pick Barnett from Tenn.

He, McCaffrey, and Fournette are being guarenteed to be first round picks.  So....I think I can.

Really do need a replacement to Stewart. Offense has been our main problem all season. The 3 and outs over and over have taken their toll on the defense and their stats. People get tired.

We'll see, but I honestly don't think he's going to be a whole lot faster than Foreman, and Foreman is big sum bitch.  Receiver, Dalvin's better, but we don't pass to our RB's all too often anyway.  Foreman is by far a superior blocker, arguably the best in college, at the position.  7.2 YPC as a Sophomore, and 6.3 YPC as a Jr., with over 2k yards.

I think either one would be great to have, but knowing our FO, Foreman is going to be more attractive.

I would be happy with this, I know you can get good players at this position in later rounds but Fournette is a rare talent and we have a run-based offense that would take full advantage of his skills and needs a spark. 

[pstall]

He isn't a top need and rbs value has dropped its not worth a top 10 pick.

Unless he gets a great line i just don't think he will be all that.

[gmonjimbo]

I think Fournette would be a great addition to the team. Would bring back the physicality that this offense needs to pound teams into submission in the 2nd half alongside Stew but the team must get rid of Tolbert and Ed Dickson in order for the running game to be effective. They need to get a true blocking FB and a 2nd TE that can block but also offer something in the passing game. If not Fournette I don't mind going after a SS or DE, but our 2nd round and one of our 3rd round picks must be on offense.

Freeman and Lacy were considered 1st round prospects but didn't make it.

It all depends on how well he does at the combine. 

LOL, you can't compare two fringe 1st round picks.  To three who have been guaranteed to be first round picks since last season.  Zero Mocks had Freeman and Lacy as first round picks.  Hence the reason they were picked in the 2nd.  But many, many, Mocks had Gurley and Gordon as first round picks.  So, stop while you're behind.

Fournette is indeed worth a Top 10 pick, and last I checked.  Jonathan Stewart is 28 years old.  Fournette would be a phenomenal get for us.

Yeah, plus McShay has the 9ers, Jets, and Browns not taking QBs which is just asinine.  Their organizations are too terrible to be that smart.  

I'm a Clemson fan and I wouldn't take Watson high in the first.   I think Watson is a great college QB though.

I would take Trubisky (more accurate) over Watson.  If Tru goes to the Jets, I think that would be perfect for them.  Browns and 9ers though?  God no.

I hope they don't draft a RB with a high draft pick.  You can find RBs everywhere.

Fournette is a once a generation talent.  I'm okay with it.  

Also, I literally can't tell when you're trollin or not.
