Getting an offensive piece like Leonard Fournette in the 2017 NFL Draft is exactly what the Jacksonville Jaguars needed to do in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Jags have not had an iconic runner since Maurice Jones-Drew’s 2011 season in which he led the NFL in rushing.
The Jaguars may need a better offensive line, but they also didn’t have one with MJD back in 2011. The offense was 100 percent Jones-Drew and the Jags still pounded it down the opposition’s throat.
Not surprisingly, a player like Fournette lets the Jaguars do it again. They can feed Fournette for 20 to 30 carries per game and alleviate pressure on quarterback Blake Bortles.
