What Nolan Nawrocki says about Leonard Fournette

I got this from his superb 2017 Draft preview, truly the best draft guide out there.

 

Tough, decisive, downhill runner with hip strength, body power and physicality to consistently churn through contact and create chunk yardage, yet also posses the long speed to create explosive big plays. A complete every down back in a rare category of talent physically gifted to have made the jump from high school to the pro’s had he been allowed.

Fournette is a generational talent in the same category as all time greats such as Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker exiting college. A bell cow capable of carrying an offense and wearing down defenses. Was at his best when healthy in 2015 and would be most optimal playing in the 220 lbs.

We should just enshrine Fournette into the HoF before he even takes a snap at this point.

Whatever happened to realistic comparisons and aspirations these days. 

You compared Derek Barnett to Ryan Delaire...

I feel that is a major reason Fournette is getting some hate. People don't like it when we "crown them" before they even enter the league.

  They went out the window when McCaffrey became a top 10 "lock".

Yup but he's also a premiere talent evaluator.

Clearly. 

Which team does he work for again? Oh, none of them? Yep... premiere talent evaluator. LOL!

These draftniks who have never actually evaluated talent for an NFL team are for entertainment purposes only.

Honestly have no recollection of that. Don't remember why I would've made that comparison if so. Link me to where I did, and I'll figure out what I was drinking that day.

Think you are the guy who compared Cam Robinson to Mike Remmers too. Probably drank what you are drinking today

Eh I was mostly sober til the end on that one when I watched the championship game. Robinson didn't wow me and looked like he got beat a lot by speed, so that felt like a fair comparison to another guy who sucks against speed.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
