glad someone pointed out Fournette sucks at picking up the blitz. hes big as shyt and blocks like an Oregon back, dont like that. he'll be a good, not great player

Cook's time is deceiving, i dont really think his time affects his status its that janky shoulder that teams are likely worried about. Kamara's numbers are good, not crazy like Bucky Brooks is saying. he has a limited body of work but is interesting

Kaaya is a classic case of a kid thats been in camps his whole life, getting gassed up. good kid for sure, but sometimes he lives in this weird alternate reality when he talks to the media. i wish him well, but i wont miss his shyt footwork and late decisions

LOL. You really love picking the surefire busts?

McDowell and Kizer are busts.

Dobbs and Kaaya = best QBs
Garrett, Basham, and Derek Rivers = best edge rushers
Solomon Thomas and Nazair Jones = best interior d-lineman
Basham is nowhere near one of the best edge rushers. Stop exposing ur lack of knowledge

Plays with tightness in his hips which restricts his bend and pad level. Straight-line attacker who will roll past his target if he doesn't gather his weight early. His pass rush attack is still basic. Leaves his hands at home rather than turning them into weapons of victory. Tries to bull his way around the edge with strong lower body rather than softening edge with his hands. Needs to develop a better plan with reliable counters to beat pro tackles. Lacks smoothness in his turn around the corner. Can still get more out of his long arms.

He can't bend his hips and has no real pass rush skills if u want to stop looking dumb calling him a good pass rusher

Fournette is a damn good pass blocker, very rarely do LSU backs come out with being good at blocking. One thing I learned from last year's NBA draft is that people will down play someone to bring somebody else up. People were doing that when they were trying to argue Brandon Ingram was a better prospect than Ben Simmons. Yu see the same thing with Fournette, I think when people resort to that strategy then their opinion should go to the bushes.

Yea it shouldn't be hard for him to be a good blocker if he tries. Its not like its rocket science. People are just realizing how overrated he is. He isn't Adrian Peterson. He isn't even as good as Elliott last year

It helps show first step explosion. And being able to jump over a guy diving at ur knees is pretty important. Fournette in the NFL will look like all of his Bama games. He's not going to be able to run over anyone or outrun anyone. He just bullied shytty defenses in college
