Leonard Fournette, 1st overall? CBSSports.com NFL writer says it’s possible, though unlikely

Leonard Fournette rushed for big yardage, but could he really go first overall in the draft? A national analyst says he may be in the conversation.

CBSSports.com NFL writer Jason La Canfora discussed a possibility not often mentioned in the months leading up to the draft: the possibility that Fournette could go first overall to the Cleveland Browns. La Canfora appears to be the first major national analyst to suggest that the former LSU running back has a chance to become the No. 1 pick.

Up until this point, analysts have been virtually unanimous in projecting the Browns to select Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett at the top of the draft.
