RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette. 15. player. 54. The Philadelphia Eagles are in very good shape going into the 2017 NFL Draft. They have their franchise QB in Carson Wentz, whom they traded up to pick in 2016. Then they got back in the first round by trading QB Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings. <p>And around him, is a great offensive line and WRs Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham will break out in 2017. And we already know how good the Eagles are going to be on defense. With a great RB, the Eagles could see the same meteoric rise the Dallas Cowboys made in 2016.</p> <p>The difference between Wentz and Dak Prescott is Prescott had RB Ezekiel Elliott. Leonard Fournette has the talent to go right into Philly and do what Elliott did in 2016. He’s 6’1″, 230 pounds with speed and power in spades—even more than Elliott has.</p> <p>He can miss you miss when he wants but if he gets you one on one, he’s going to truck you. The blue collar fans of Philadelphia will appreciate having such a physical runner. That will especially be the case when the Eagles are in the race of the NFC East title.</p>
