I have never wanted Fournette but I must admit knowing he wants to come here gets me behind him a little more.

I don't want him at 2 but love for the franchise is important to me.

+1 for Fournette!!!

Talk about putting the cart ahead of the horse.

Hold your horses buddy. I don't want anything to do with Fournette. Im just trying to give a modest perspective.

Our 32nd OL netted the 4th or 5th (can't remember ) best rushing attack in the league last year.

To be taken with a grain of salt as our QB's rushed for 641 of our 2019 rushing yards last year, drop their rushing numbers and it puts us between 29th and 30th in the league.

But being to create possible lanes for your QB was part of the system design.. though sure,it's a lil misleading but you can't totally take that away.

we've discussed this NY. Brown and Garnett have more experience now, Zuttah and Juice are gonna play big parts in the run game along with Shannys play calling and already better personnel on both sides of the ball(that hopefully leads to longer drives,more T-O-P&more rested D). I do think if you take Fournette, I'd be a smart decision to have a trade lined up for Hyde either for a proven player or a nice pick that could net a starter.

Particularly at his age. We have been terrible for most of his life. Interesting.

I'm not a fan of drafting Fournette, but it was interesting reading that he is a fan. We have something in common also, growing up in Florida as 49ers fans.

I still believe if we draft offense it would be fournette over Trubisky. Cool read.

I'm also from NY, but aside the obvious Giants and Jets there really are tons of fans from every team here.

You guys didn't know he was a 9ers fan? I thought it was common knowledge. Man, I should have brought it up long ago then.

Imagine the beast that Fournette is in red and gold?! Oh my God, that will be the latest best selling 49ers jersey.

Draft the guy and get it done!!

What kind of question is that? So, you can't be a 9er fan living in Louisiana?

Dude, the 9ers have plenty of fans that are not even living in the States, did you even know that? UK, Australia, Asia, you name it!!

I didn't know, but he still isn't the pick

Would rather have McCaffrey, more dynamic

Nah, he is not explosive nor as powerful as Fournette.

NOT FOR THE 2ND OVERALL PICK

Once they hit stick Mccaffery in the NFL .....fumble recovery defense...


.....Mccaffery return...doubtful

Niners may have to draft him. I remember Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers saying they were both niner fans growing up and the niners passed on them. How's that working out these days?
In all seriousness I would consider him. If not him probably a cornerback, safety or receiver if they don't trade back.
