The idea of adding Todd Gurley to our team has grown on me through the past few weeks. He has the power and speed combination of an Adrian Peterson and a Marshawn Lynch, but is currently injured, which may allow him to slip to our pick.

 

Nobody really debates that he is a top 10/15 talent if uninjured. I argue that he is worth our first round pick this year.

 

First reason, we are playing the long term game. Stewart will be playing at 28 years old this season. If we cut him post June 1st in 2016 we will save 5.75 million, he costs this team 9.5 million on the cap in 2016.

 

Second reason, the offense we run, pun intended. We are a run heavy team with a big arm QB. Our Oline doesn't create huge holes like the cowboys but was pretty effective at the end of the season in run blocking. Gurley is also an excellent checkdown option that we will use alot. If we pick Gurley, he would have big impact in the future (2016 and beyond), he would be a threat on every play.

 

Third Reason, the impact to this team is not there from picks at other positions. A WR in this draft may not have this kind of impact (not sold on jaelen strong or anyone else outside the top 3) Devin Smith (OSU) is an interesting option but may not be worth our 1st rounder and will not last to our 2nd round pick. DE would be a nice pick due to charles johnson contract next year would save us 11 million by cutting him, though not sure if anyone is worth it compared to gurley.

 

What do you guys think about our options in the First Round?

Yes

 

Because, for example, Stewart/Fozzy rushing with Flowers blocking at RT > Stewart/Gurley rushing with Remmers/Oher at RT.

 

Gurley might be "absolute" BPA when we pick, but I'm sure there's someone with similar value at another spot we need more help at.

      People say the NIL ot transfer portal is killing college football, which is demonstrably false. This is the poo that has effectively killed ALL college sports. The TV contract whoring that has caused the complete destruction of regional conferences.

      Easily so. 1 "National Championship", 11 conference titles. UNC can boast 0 and 7. Maryland is less so since they have left the ACC and will likely remain depressed for the remainder of their existence before the Big Ten collapses.  I agree about the ACC and its football history but truthfully, it is becoming harder for the ACC to compete in the super conference era with the extreme amounts of money it takes to just stay competitive, much less excel.  UNC is very odd case. On the surface, plenty of money to spend to attempt to become a relevant football program but then you spend it on....Bill Belichick??? That's....stupid.

      Yeah, the recent interview in front of his locker…. if you listen, Hunter regurgitates what Canales said and does it from Canales’ perspective.  Coach said,  coach thought, Coach wanted.  Every year I explain my position that coaches are not truthful people when it comes to explaining decisions and what is going on….they aren’t in the business of letting us know what is going on behind the scenes.   Nothing ever supported what Dave was selling.  He saw something apparently no one covering the team every single day saw.  He kept his boy and had to have a reason to explain it at the end of the day….and saying Moore was better would not sell Hunter never had said he believed such is what I am saying.  That was Dave BSing his roster decisions.  What coaches do.  Hunter doesn’t play OL.  Odds are with his select slot work and his role….he is better prepared than our lineman for week 1.
