Leonard Fournette

[phildadon86]

Do we hold off one more year for a lead RB hoping we can land this beast? Would anyone here be mad if we did?

 

[AzorAhai]

I think he's massively overrated. Don't think his game translates to the NFL game very well.

Thomas Rawls signed with wrong team. That is what I want: young, cheap and hungry.

Really? I think he's going to be incredible. Who would you prefer?

Well I like Chubb, but need to see him return from his injury. I also think Cook from Florida State will be better than Fournette.

Didnt we see some major character issues with Cook this past weekend?

I didn't see that game, so don't really know what you're referring to. Just on a talent basis, I would put both him and pre injury Chubb above Fournette.

Zeke!

No. Fournette will likely be a top 10 pick next season, and I don't see the Cowboys being in position to draft him. We're going to draft a RB at some point in the first 3-4 rounds this year and be done with it imo.

Hahaha....Joking right? Go watch LSU vs Auburn this year.....That's all you would need to see to know this kid is a stud ala Peterson.

Don't jinx us.... I'm sure most folks after last year didn't think we'd be drafting top 10 in 2016....but it sure looks like we might.

No, I'm not joking. Yes he's great at breaking tackles. No he is not Peterson. He's not as fast as Peterson and he doesn't have near the stop and start speed as Peterson.

What happened? Cook's the guy I want as well. If we end up taking someone like Booker or Collins in the 3rd, I would still be tempted to take Cook next year.

The answer is absolutely not, we can't waste another season not having a great RB. Our team will only be a legit contender with a big time lead dog. We've seen plenty when we force Romo to do everything. We have to draft a RB this year and his name is Zeke Elliott.
As for next year, Cook is the best back in college football right now period. That's not to say fournette and Chubb are bad, Cook is just a wicked runner.
