With the selection of Leonard Fournette, the Jacksonville Jaguars have effectively changed the overall approach of their offense. Under head coach Gus Bradley and his horrific defenses, the Jaguars have been forced to pass the ball at an unsustainable rate over the last 4 years.
While choosing Fournette seems like a big change for this regime, it’s not as if general manager David Caldwell has ignored the running back position. Caldwell invested a second round pick in T.J. Yeldon in 2015 and then spent a pretty penny to acquire veteran tailback Chris Ivory. The two seemed like a complementary duo that would shine, but it was an abject disaster in 2016.
