Most teams are in a good place at running back via an accumulation of solid committees over the course of many years.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't most teams.
Luckily for the Buccaneers, 2017's fourth overall pick might be available at a cheap price. The Jacksonville Jaguars might be a willing trade partner if a team hops on the phone with them about Leonard Fournette.
Fournette had an arrest in April over speeding, which doesn't seem like a huge deal until one recalls the Jaguars already canceled all the guarantees in his deal over a suspension from last year. The Jaguars would never say it, but he could probably be had for the right price.
The LSU product missed three games his rookie year, eight more as a sophomore in 2018 and averaged less than four yards per carry during that span. Jacksonville might just want more dependability at running back as they look to prop up Nick Foles and get into the playoffs.
As for Tampa Bay, the team should be willing to take a risk for higher potential at running back. They won five games last year and are now, with Ryan Fitzpatrick's offseason departure, fully rallying around Jameis Winston. Peyton Barber was a dud a season ago at 3.7 yards per carry and 2018 second-round pick Ronald Jones only attempted 23 rushes, averaging less than two yards per carry.
A change of scenery might create a boom for Fournette, who could sledgehammer next to Jones after the Buccaneers mostly ignored the position this offseason.
