It's hard to believe that Fournette is still only 28. His 2015 LSU season is probably the most dominant college RB season I can recall. Either that or Ron Dayne's 1999 season at Wisconsin. It wasn't just the numbers they put up, it was that they were just straight up physically dominating and obliterating their competition. But I think both of those guys' NFL careers suffered by the toll their bodies had already endured in the college game.

Yannick Ngakoue should have happened a month ago.

I wonder how that works leverage wise now? I get teams waiting to see if they could draft one first. It seems like we're going to rotate a lot so I wonder how much they're willing to spend on a guy that's weak against the run? I like him but Haynes might put up the same amount of sacks if given the same amount of snaps

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
