4. Jacksonville Jaguars

Leonard Fournette . 4. player. 52. For the second year in-a-row a running back goes at the #4 pick. Keep in mind Tom Coughlin is an old school guy and seems to be adding players with similar mentalities. He likely sees the obvious problem facing the Jacksonville Jaguars and that’s how one-dimension their offense is. Blake Bortles has to do everything himself and it’s really hurting his development. What this team needs is a ground game he can feed. Somebody who can force defenses on their heels. <p>Leonard Fournette is a supreme talent at the position. A big running back who has breakaway speed. It didn’t matter if defenses knew he’d get the ball, they often still couldn’t stop him from rampaging for 150-200 yards. The kind of guy who can handle 25-30 carries a game without breaking a sweat. Having his threat in the backfield should instantly ease the pressure for Bortles, allowing him more windows to find open receivers.</p>. RB. LSU
