This look like his preliminary mock where he assigns players to teams perceived needs.

Gordon is an outside runner. That doesn't work in the NFL.

I have a feeling it's going to be Gurley. Gorden will be gone and Gurley would have gone 10 spots higher then Gorden if it wasnt for the ACL

Gordon probably won't be gone unless he has a knockout combine or something. SI.com had him as the first pick in the 2nd round.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings seeing Gurley run behind this offensive line .Gurley is going to be tearing up the league soon.Might as well be in a Cowboy uniform. He is that special. More special than any defensive player that will be left on the board at 27.

I see what your cooking but.... Ain't no way you touch this guy so early.. Not with Gordon messing up in Cleveland..

That same logic caused us to pass on Moss when we already had a problem child in Irvin. Dez was labeled a problem child and has also panned out. We have the infrastructure to handle cases like Beckham, Bryant, Moss and Irvin. We're not cleveland, which has multiple player issues and no leadership to handle such players. If we take care of business before the draft, I'd take him in a heartbeat. He wouldn't be needed immediately with Williams developing, but can still be a game changer by simply throwing it up in single coverage.

I'm not saying I would mind Melvin Gordon or Todd Gurley, but in general let's just go with the opposite of what Todd McShay says.

Duke Johnson. If he falls to 3rd.

Yes to either of these. Gurley and Duke are both going to be special at the next level

The only special running back in the NFL is Adrian Peterson. There are tons of really good ones.

I would never draft a running back in the first round unless the guy is like AP.

Murray was a third rounder. Many of the best backs these days are later round picks.

I'm not against drafting DBG.. Just not in the first.. Have you seen his rap sheet?

Not saying Gordon or Gurley or AP, but how nice would it be to have a truly special back, with breakaway speed, beyind this offensive line?

Exactly why I'm on the fence regarding Murray. I love him, but God its like he's running in quicksand when he hits the open field. Pretty bad when Randle looks "fast" in comparison. Something tells me Murray doesn't have much left in the tank. If he stays, I hope I am wrong.

He!! NO, Running backs are a dime a dozen...Defensive end, defensive tackle, safety, corner, and one would be fine by me

I really don't know who all these RBs that can get 30 carries and have the HR speed are. APeterson might be the only one.

McCoy and JCharles can take it to the house, but can't handle all the inside stuff.
Forte and Lynch are bangers but not speed guys. Murray fits in with them. All are great in the passing game.

Stay as far away from DGB as possible. That's a train wreck just waiting to happen
