I don't want to draft Todd Gurley

CATCH17 · Mar 12, 2015

I really don't want to draft this guy.

I think he is a player but I just don't think we will get the best version of him year 1.

Guy is a beast but I don't want to rely on a rookie RB coming off of a torn ACL.

Peterson looked pretty good coming off his. They surely are not the death knell they once were. You know that though because you follow the game. Your concerns are well founded. That being said the upside is so huge(as in 1st ballot hall of fame huge) behind our line it would be difficult to pass up.

Agreed. I thought I was the only one. I don't think he is all that great and can't stay healthy. I don't think his style will fit in the nfl. Time will tell

I think he is the best RB in the draft since Peterson. I'll wait for him to get healthy.

I like the value of rounds 2-4 better anyway for RBs. There must be 7-8 really decent ones.
If a worthy defensive guy is there at 27, I want that player on our team.

Really have you watched his style? Ave you watched that he usually has to break a tackle at the line almost every time. Do you think he can do that every time in the NFL.

I think it's a system at Georgia and he has such more power than most college players. His style has made him hurt the last two years. You think he can hold up in the nfl?

Top 10 talent at 27? Sign me up. I dont care if he isn't ready for the start of the season. Veteran FA is for the short term. You draft to setup the next 5 years.

Obviously everything is predicated on his health.

But he is so big, fast and quick. He definitely looks like he would have ran a sub 4.4

Peterson is a once in a lifetime talent.

Gurley and every RB in history aren't the specimen that Peterson is.

I really like gurley but I wouldn't take him if he can't contribute this year.

short sighted. If he is as good as claimed, it is worth waiting.

I think this whole 'value' thing is a huge steaming pile of HC.

We would be seeing production really for only three seasons, like the talent hate the fact that this year he is less than average while the knee recovers, not sure what voodoo that AD got to heal that fast but that is not the normal recovery time.

So Gurley in the 3rd isn't better value than Gurley in the 1st?
Zach Martin at 16 isn't better value than Chris watt at 16?
please explain

If he was not a Rb and similarly talented then I would do it,Rbs have a short shelf life.

1st rd picks have 5th year team option on the contract so they have him for 5 total years

Gurley is as close to AD since he came out.

Guys like Gordan won't be running past the line untouched like they did in college.

Ok I'm not saying I want Gordon. I don't want a RB at 27. Non of these guys seperate themselves to me.

RandyOh · Mar 12, 2015

Hmm...so u pass up the possible lynch clone on a cheap 5 year deal at 27 to pick up a mark Ingram clone in the 3rd. Makes total sense.

I don't want to draft Todd Gurley
