57. Oh my. At first some Chicago Bears fans might not be happy with this pick. After all the arguments will state that the team is painfully thin at offensive tackle, tight end and cornerback. How can they justify taking a running back with their first-round pick? First of all it’s important to note they traded back and secured an extra second-round choice. Then there is the fact that no tackle, tight end or cornerback in this class can compare in terms of game-changing ability to LSU star Leonard Fournette.
<p>Next to quarterbacks, no position can impact the success of a team like a great running back can. Ask the Minnesota Vikings where they would’ve been from 2007 to today without Adrian Peterson. Fournette is that talented. He’s a big, burly runner who breaks tackles with ease and so hard to get on the ground. That makes it easy to forget how good of an athlete he is. He’s quick and agile for a man his size and has enough speed to hit the home run when he has an opening. Put this monster in an offense with Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White? It could mean devastation.</p>. RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette . 6. player
