I agree. Do you think a trade is possible prior to the draft? I think he still has another season on his contract.
Could Myles Garret play Outside Line Backer and solve our edge rush problems? If so he's worth a look
Who said Fournette was no good? He's embarrassing Ole Miss right now. 7 carries 249 yards 3TDs and counting with over 13 minutes left in the third quarter. Two rushes of 70+ yards so far.
Yeah I saw that game. I had seen him play before, but didn't remember his having that burst. I may wind up changing my mind on taking him in the 1st.
The crazy part is that he had that burst playing on 2 sprained ankles. Those injuries are why he's missed a few games this year.
He could. The kid looks like a player, and even looked good against that great Bama offensive line despite being banged up during the game. I just don't really see us going that route. The offense is too old with too many holes to justify taking essentially another defensive lineman.
Obviously we know the Jets do BPA regardless of need but I think they are most certainly targeting OL as a top priority. I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted 3 OL throughout the draft.
We would take Garrett if he fell to us. He's the best prospect at any position in this draft. As Fournette is to RB prospects, he is to edge-rushers, and our vaunted defensive line was mostly drafted for 3-4 DEs - he's far more clearly an 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE build-wise, a guy who at 270 moves like he's 240ish. so it wouldn't be a repeat of overloading at a stacked position quite the same way as when we took Leo Williams. Think Clowney's physicality, only with an insane motor, better college production, and high-character. If he's available we take him and don't think twice. He's who we pick if we somehow end up with #1 overall and no-one will offer a pair of 1sts to trade up. Generational prospect at edge rusher.
Good thing this draft is super deep at corner. It's not crazy to think we can double dip and get at LEAST one starter if not 2 out of this draft.
