Yeah no.
Fournette is an absolute monster running the ball. May not have the most amazing lateral quickness, but neither did David Johnson coming out. Been a long time since I've seen a runner like this. It's like watching Mike Alstott with 4.3 speed in the open field.

whose better than him then. more importantly whose better than him and would be a better pick for us in our current situation.

Fournette is scheme dependent, Myles is almost idiot proof

Myles Garrett. Best player in the upcoming draft.
fournette is scheme dependent? i dont think so. the guy has proven more than enough times that isnt just a "power" back or "scat" back or change of pace whatever the f kinda RB. he has more power, more speed, more elusiveness, more agility, more toughness than any RB in a loooong time. doesnt matter what kind of scheme hes in hel put up yards if hes on the field.

not sayin garrett wouldnt be a great pick...because he would. but at this point we might need an RB more. hyde is turning out to be too fragile.

Absolutely scheme dependent

Its a RB heavy draft while Garrett could be the best edge rusher in years. If they have a shot at him they should run to the phone and call his name.

He gets a lot of good blocking. Tremendous back but that OL opens up freeway sized holes for him.



The narrative after the game will be about how Leonard Fournette is back and as dominant as ever. That might be true, but in truth this was as easy a 284 yards as Fournette will ever run for, with the Ole Miss defense putting up little resistance. Fournette's 74.5 grade might seem harsh for a running back who rushed for 300 yards, but when you consider that he ran for 237 of those yards on just four of his 16 carries, working out at 83.5 percent of his yardage on just 25 percent of his carries, it's not quite as impressive. 194 of his yardage came before contact, while Fournette needed to break just two tackles on runs. Let's not take too much away from Fournette, who took advantage of good blocking and bad defense, but as impressive a performance as it was, he owed a lot to his offensive line, especially on his long second quarter touchdown run, which was blocked perfectly.


It was the same blocking for the backup LSU RB but he was only picking up 3-7 yards instead of 30-70

Chip would agree
This kid is amazing.
RB is a position that needs attention...that said, only after QB, WR, NT and pass rusher, IMHO. So, that means the Niners need to acquire as many early rd picks as they can to that end. I know they have some interest in McCaffrey, likely among others.
