That's why the Rams and Fisher are perennial losers. Draft a RB at #10 overall with a bad Oline. They've gotten great players for their defense year after year and they still aren't much better than the Cowboys D which was put together over a weekend. They got the windfall in the RG3 trade and not much of any change to show for it.
No interest whatsoever. Marginal player and asking for a trade after this pick shows a weak mindset.
I'd give a 5th or 6th for him. To be our starter? No. I'd much prefer him as the backup to whatever rookie we draft in the next two rounds over McFadden, Randle, Dunbar, or Williams.
He has great balance and he's patient and waits for holes. Sadly, the Rams offensive line didn't provide him with many.
LOL you would give that up for a guy that couldn't hold off Cunningham to start the season last year!

The entire backfield was a big rotation last season. It has been since Jackson left. Why? Because of their offensive line.
He got nearly 1,000 yards behind a crappy offensive line in 2013. A 5th or a 6th (Preferably) is just fine. Think we will actually hit on a player with those picks? When was the last time we did?
Wrong Mason took over last year once he was given the chance and ran away with the starting job. Stacy is not good.
There was absolutely no consistency in the running game. It has nothing to do with the RBs, it has to do with the offensive line.
Yes I know when he took over. My point is one, he did not relinquish the job once he got it, and Stacy is so bad he couldn't win the job to begin with vs Cunningham. Your willingness to take this guy and not AD is quite the head scratcher.Mason didn't get a start until week 7. He had two games with over 100 yards rushing. One of those games he had 29 carries and only mustered 113 yards against the Broncos D. The other 100 yard game came against the Oakland Raiders. His most impressive game was against Seattle where he got over 80 yards. That was it, outside of those games? He had only one other game with averaging over 5 yards a carry, the rest were below 4 YPC.

I thought that was incredibly silly by the Rams to take Gurley with their pick. with Mason and Stacy I just would've never thought they'd value that pick so high.
But if you believe Gurley is the next AP, then who cares? Pick him.
