    One man's trash is another man's treasure. I think Fournette could be a difference maker for the Jets and it looks like he is on the outs with Jax. Not sure the asking price but Id swap 1st round picks if they included Fournette. Yeah, yeah I know trouble maker and all but he just might need a change of scenery. Any thoughts?

    What the actual fuck.

    So the Jags would give us Leopard Fournette, one of the top RBs in the league to swap the 4th pick for the 6th pick?

    What the actual fuck.

    Fournette sucks and is living on draft status. I wouldn’t even do this from the Jets perspective.

    Absolutely not.

    He's already proven himself to have a very difficult time of staying on the field. Combine that with the nonsense he apparently pulled today... no.

    IF the Jags were willing to part ways with him, that should tell the Jets brass everything they'd need to know about him.

    I'd rather take Harris, Snell, or Montgomery in the 3rd or with an acquired 2nd rounder.

    Fournette screwed me on two Fantasy teams this year. He is now dead to me.

    Fournette was laughing what's the big deal? Their whole season was a joke.

    More like the 3rd over all for the 7th. The difference of which is equivalent to the 26th pick (700pts) according to the draft value chart. Lets not forget sometimes teams give up alot to move up and get the guy they want. Jets gave up 3 seconds last year to go from 6th to 3rd and that was before they knew Darnold would be there.

    Well, that's the same front office that repeatedly thought Blake Bortles was a good quarterback, so their opinion might not be as valuable as you're saying.

    The draft value chart is worse than useless because it's simultaneously convincing and wrong. If you calculate the actual value of each pick instead of making up numbers, the difference between the 3rd and 7th picks is closer to a late 3rd rounder. http://www.footballperspective.com/draft-value-chart/

    (Before someone brings up the Darnold trade, that was a special case. There, the question is whether three second rounders was worth the value of Darnold over Allen or Rosen.)

    This is dumb. Instead we should give the Falcons Rontez Miles and our 6th round pick for Julio Jones and a seventh.

    No thank you. Can’t stay healthy. Not a difference maker. If we could get him as a free agent at the right price but no thank you.

    Trading for fournette really screws up our plan of forcing the saints to choose between ingram and kamara and ultimately trading us kamara.

    Guy has 1400 rushing yards in 2 years in the league. That makes him a top RB in the league??
