Byron Jones vs. Todd Gurley

[CyberB0b]

Obviously, Gurley went way before we could have taken him. With that said, if the draft pretty much goes the same way, but Gurley fell to us, would you have taken him over Byron Jones?

 

[CATCH17]

Of course I would take Gurley but I love the Byron Jones pick.

I would've taken Malcom Brown myself but I have no problem with Jones and absolutely love his upside.

Im just worried he is too intelligent for the position he plays lol. Maybe make him a safety.








Sick avatar.

Gurley or Gordon likely would hvae been taken. There were probably 10 players we had rated over Jones. But we picked late so it doesn't matter.

 

[AsthmaField]

Yeah, I probably would have taken Gurley. He very well might end up being really, really good. However, with the way it fell, I don't think there was anyone better to take at that 27 spot.

Actually, if there was anyone that I might have picked with the way things fell... It might have been Randy Gregory. I would have never thought he would have lasted to #60 and he was a steal at 27.

I think the question would be Byron Jones AND Randy Gregory for Gurley

But yes, if by miracle he fell to us, I'd take Gurley

If we did take him then CB would be more in play in rounds 2-7, all else equal.

 

[Sarge]

Nope.

 

[conner01]

If he had fallen to us I suspect he would have been taken
I certainly would have taken him but he didn't and we got a very good prospect who fills a real need to boot

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Gurley not because I have a preference of rb over cb/safety but because Gurley would have been in a higher tier than Jones as a prospect.

Is this a trick question?

No? Before the draft, I don't think anyone had Gurley as a top 10 pick.

 

[Craig]

It would have been hard to pass him up but i would have rather grabbed a second tier back in the second or third. I love the draft though and have no complaints.

 

[DanTanna]

Tough call man, tough call. I saw we leave it like it is.

 

[The Natural]

I know Gurley so I would have taken him

Well, he was considered a top 10 talent. I don't think there's any question we would have taken Gurley, even with the injury. Perhaps a better hypothetical would be, would we have taken him if we drafted where the Rams did?

Top 10 talent with a blown ACL who might not be available for the beginning of the season. I think it would have been a slight gamble at 27th, but a huge gamble spending a top 10 pick on ANY running back, especially a top 10.

 

[Nightman]

Gurley might still be a PUP guy and miss 6 weeks.

That would put him way behind and might make this a tough year.

This is my feeling on it as well. I just think Gurley could be special (although Jones could be as well).

Actually, a CB is one of the positions that NFL teams will pay big for (in $$ or draft position), while RB is not anymore.

My general rule of thumb with that is if both players are equal, go with the corner over the back. Gurley was just so good though.

I was pretty surprised that St. Louis went with him at #10.

That just shows you how high his ceiling really is.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I still think Gurley will start the season on pup so I'd take jones.

I did....I was shocked the Giants passed on him. And I think the Rams were more than happy. I don't see how the Giants could pass teaming ODB w/ Gurley. Sure would have made Eli's job a hell of alot easier.
