I don't want to draft Todd Gurley

The biggest drawback to Gurley is that if he goes in the first and has to be redshirted, Dallas has lost the value of the first round pick for the upcoming year. Unless something drastic happens while dumpster diving in free agency, we will not be able to afford to wait on greatness.

I think he goes to San Diego, so unless they trade up, he won't be an option at #27.

San Diego is supposed to have extreme interest in Gordon at 17. I think Gordon does get drafted before Gurley due to his immediate availability.

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

You have a very limited view of history. Bo Jackson was clearly physically superior. Jim Brown too. Probably Earl Campbell as well.

I like Peterson and would like to see him in a Cowboys uni, but let's not overstate things. Gurley is also a tantalizing alternative.

My guess is that he will go on the PUP and be ready for game 7.

Can they manage 6 games without him?

Could they take him and another RB in the 4th?

Gurley would most likely start off the season on Pup and Williams and whomever would need to carry the load for a while.

this may not be a problem but is there any guaranteed he will be productive this year? he is not AD the superman who just took off after his year off with his ACL tear.

It seems that he could almost be ready for TC, but would be 100% by week 7.

If he is definitely ready for TC he'll be gone by #27.

I would meet in the middle and take one in the second. We cannot blow two choices on the position and hope to compete.

Im a big fan of Gordon but his combine scared me off some.


I think we'll see some shocking picks at the RB position.

Was just saying how supposedly interested SD is at 17. Personally it wouldn't surprise me if the Cowboys are the first team to take a RB in the draft at 27.

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.

Man, what are you saying! The injury is what is going to drop him to us. This is a sure thing that will keep the Cowboys running with the Eagles. If you can't run efficiently you have got nothing. Come on down Curley!!!

I think Gurley would offer minimum to us in 2015 until that knee is fully rehabbed and we need a dominant running game from opening week. Give me Gordon at 27.
