We need to send this video to the Browns.
We need to draft him
No... 49ers really don't need to.
Sure we do, we need offense blue chip studs on offense.

The thing to me that makes picking Fournette so appealing is how we can shape our offense around him. We have a whole new offensive scheme and coaches, and picked up some better players that fit it this offseason (Juice, Garcon, Zuttah, etc).
What's one of the best things about Kyle Shanahan? The guy wherever he went shaped his offense and scheme around the talent that was there. Now imagine doing that (in year one I might add) with a talent like Fournette.
Yes, we don't have a QB, however next year's first round prospects look very appealing (and yes, I know things can change in a year) or we can possibly grab Cousins. Imagine the potential of our offense with a QB like Darnold, Rosen, or Allen and Fournette, or Cousins and Fournette.

Then why would you take him? Shanahan isn't about ground and pound.

That's not a good way to look at it
If shanny had a better RB in the last mins of the SB, you think he still calls a pass play?, nope
Shanny is a offensive guru. He uses all positions as weapons.

Pretty sure if the falcons had a way of covering a second string RB in the flat, they win the SB.

Pretty sure the Falcons have a 1st class passing corps too to take the pressure off their run game.
Wait, what's the name of those guys again?? Some guy called Matt Ryan or something?? I always get confused with Meg Ryan. LOL. Oh and someone else too, he has a funny first name or something, ohhhh got it, Julio Jones!! Have you heard of that fella? He is pretty darn good if you watch him play.

This is also a very good clip and a very honest evaluation on Fournette. Enjoy!

Thanks, bud!
Hey, I just watched the John Lynch's pre draft clip and guess what he said?
Remember I have been banging the table on how I believe is the right way to rebuild a team?
I said all I want are high quality max impact game-changer type players to form a small nucleus of players to rebuild this team around.
And remember when I was criticizing on the idea of trading down and diluting the picks?
Well, as it turns out he said they have already tried to fill up some of the holes on the roster during free agency, so that we can come out of the draft with a nucleus of players that can take us back to winning championships, in other words as opposed to purely addressing needs and filling holes. Case in point my motto - Quality Over Quantity.
I am very hopeful about where we are at with John and Kyle.
Go to 5:30.
