Who would you draft 1st overall in a full PPR rookie draft and why? (1 Viewer)

I traded Marshawn Lynch, Blake Bortles, and #9 and #29 overall in a rookie draft for Eli Manning and the #1 overall pick in the rookie draft this year. Full PPR scoring, which RB would you take and why? I'm leaning toward Cook but am looking for feedback, here's my current roster for reference:

QB: Brady, Bortles

RB: AP, L. McCoy, J. Howard, Duke Johnson, D. Woodhead, T. West, M. Lynch

WR: M. Thomas, S. Diggs, B. Marshall, C. Coleman, K. Britt

TE: Kelce

K: Bryant

I'd go Fournette. That team is going to be built around him.

I'm a Jags fan... but the O line scares the crasp out of me and we don't have a decent QB right now :( Thinking that way would you still go with Fournette?

All 4 teams have pretty bad o-lines. In all honesty, the Jags line might be the best of the 4. The QB issue doesn't worry me much. Fournette has the best shot at 300+ touches, and while defenses will be focused on him more than the other 3, the offenses aren't going through Mixon or McCaffery. The Vikings offense could potentially go through Cook, but he's not as talented as Fournette and has a worse o-line.

I think this is a rather easy choice personally. I think the drop from 1 to 2 is bigger than the drop from 2 to 5.

tbh your wr are more thin than your rb, you not considering Davis at all?

At number one over all no I'm hoping either Ross or Mike Williams will fall to me at number 11 over all

I have the same dilemma. Do you believe that Fournette's ankle is chronic and will keep him on the sidelines every other game?
