Gurley in the first, Agholor in the second, and Ogbuehi in the third would make me happy.

Don't laugh. RB value has never been lower and he is coming off major knee surgery.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is still around late in 2nd

RB value has never been lower? You could make the argument Murray resurrected the Cowboys and Lynch is the most important player in Seattle's offense. Heck, Jonathan Stewart got us to the playoffs.

Too many people have overreacted to Trent Richardson, and RBs haven't been drafted in the first in awhile because there haven't been any good RBs to draft. That's not the case by a long shot this season.

[GotSwag?]

RB are very important. Its a huge risk to take one in the first round for obvious reasons, but Gurley is worth it.

[The Huddler]

talk about a weapon for Cam, and at 1/4 the price of Stewart.

 

It would be worth it

[MV%doe]

I cannt talk myself into the first, hope some other team scoops him before 25.

I will state this nugget, there's a report form seafags GM that he's only got 16, yes 16 players with first round grades this year. Gurley should be one of those, so if all the high OTs, WRs and DBs are gone come 25.....either trade back, pick a DL( yuck), or take the RB who grew up a panther fan.

Any other tired cliches you care to use? I would take that bet right now. Hell I might even take the bet that Gurley isn't there when we pick at 25.

I didn't say RBS were useless or not important

I am just saying their draft value has never been lower.

When was the last time an RB was taken in the top 10?

I agree.. It also depends on when the RB run takes place in the 2nd.  If Gurley is there in the 2nd ..I'm pretty sure we are going to take a hard look.  Especially after releasing Deangelo and looking forward to reducing salary or cutting Jstew.(unless he has a monster year of course).

At 25 this could be a steal.

Similar to Star a couple years ago.

[Panthro]

I mean look at Seattle...

 

Build like Seattle but manage the roster like Green Bay

[TheNewStandard]

Reminds me too much od Darren McFadden. Runs too upright and exposes his entire body to hard hits.

McFadden was a stud, but theres plenty of evidence to what hsppens to RBs with a big exposed target and upright running style. lots of injuries...Bo Jackson, Hershel Walker, Dickerson, OJ..,just to name a few.

sure they were great, but just not durable past their first few seasons...and they all came into the league very healthy.

It's borderline laughable right now all of the fans that are thinking that Gurley will be there in the 2nd.  Like you, I have doubts that he's even there at 25.  

 

His injuries are bothersome for a first round pick, but from most of what was coming out of Athens after the ACL injury, it's nowhere near Lattimore or McGahee.  By July, he should be good to go, and if he spells Stewart instead of being the number one back in 2015, he should heal fine by 2016. 

 

To get a starting caliber back at 25 that is compared to Adrian Peterson or a faster Marshawn Lynch in our run heavy offense would be a great get.  

 

There are others that I want before Gurley at 25, but there's a very strong chance that he will be the BPA at 25 and with Stewart's contract, injury history and age, our GM is thinking farther than just plugging in a player in 2015.

 

 If there are no medical concerns from our staff, I'd be fine with Gurley at 25 and wouldn't think twice.... depending on who's still on the board.  Cam needs weapons, and a prototypical back with power, speed, elusiveness and a homerun threat everytime he touches the ball, certainly fits the bill.
