a 1-2 punch with him and stewart would punish defenses.

He is good as advertised, the only team getting in the way is Jaguars but I think they will go for Dalvin Cook . 

The 2 back system would be perfect for taking advatange of the players skill set, let Fournette do majority of the carries in traditonal run game while J-Stew  on Tolbert role of pass blocking , dump- offs,recieving, read-option, & short yardage.

He's not better than Peterson. Peterson agility, cutting/juking ability sets him apart.

 He has more power & speed than him, maybe AP is graded 95.0 while LF is 93.0  thats still  a top 10 pick.

The only thing that scares me about Fournette is whether we would evolve into the right type of scheme to let him do his thing....Like the video said, if we are planning on staying with the read option type of running game, and forgoe a traditional type running game, the Dalvin Cook might be a better option.

And what makes you think he has more power than AP? I'm sure he's strong but come on..

Young AP seems more shifty and agile and just as fast.  Not putting Fournette down I'd love to get him but AP is a once in a generation prospect.

But can he do this out of the Read Option.. into the backs of the OLine?... Cause Shulu Aint changing his offense... You guys do remember Shula right? Please listen closely to the requirements at 4:03 of this vid.

 

Think Cook is a better "Fit"

I'm tired of saying it here tbqh, but we aren't going to draft Dalvin Cook, and the team that does is going to take him too early, and they likely have a crappy scouting department. Calling Cook a "fit" for the Panthers is just LOL. He has very little power, needs holes, and is pretty much all speed.  That's the opposite of what we need. He also fumbled like 13 times in three years IIRC.

Fournette is light years ahead of Cook as far as potential in the NFL. To even compare them at this point is just being blatantly biased towards a player you just like or because you're being a contrarian.

Fournette is the best prospect at RB in this draft and probably in at least the last 5 years of the draft. He could end up being better than AP, who is probably the modern standard for RBs.

If he lasts until 8, I want him.

The end.

He converted all 13 of his field goal tries with a 100% conversion rate that led all FBS kickers with at least 12 attempts. Fitzgerald was also perfect on his 14 extra points. He will compete with Matthew Wright for the Panthers’ kicking job in training camp. Harrison-Hunte went undrafted despite a strong showing at the Combine. He’s an older prospect who will turn 25 by the start of his rookie year, but he had just one season of sustained production at SMU after five years at Miami. Still, he earned first-team All-ACC honors in 2024 with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks and will push for a roster spot in Carolina as an athletic interior disruptor.   more at the link https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/05/panthers-sign-19-undrafted-free-agents
