    Yeah, unless you're stocked in the backfield, and we aren't, I'm not sure how you pass a Fournette. Adams is a tackler for sure. And though this isn't a popular thought, and I do not advocate the pick at #8, a stud LB will be a need in the not-too-distant future. TD won't last forever.

    I like Barnett from Tennessee, but at 8. And unless things shake out differently, I hope we keep the pick.

    Not for nothing, but as I watch the Sugar Bowl, anyone from the Oklahoma O-line would be great.

    I have to tell you, I've watched some of Dalvin Cook, and I'm really not sure why he's considered an option at 8. I definitely think he needs the right combination of system and a good line. He also appears overmatched in pass protection. It's not that he doesn't try, because he does and he runs with a ton of heart, but he's just overmatched. I agree that he would be an atrocious fit here.
