Word on the street: Gurley going top 10

Sean Payton's Vicodin

I actually was starting to warm up to the idea of taking him somehow...  Despite the devaluation of the RB position, where it generally makes no sense to ever take one in the first round again, there are exceptions when it comes to REALLY exceptional talents...  Gurley is one of those, so I never really expected him to drop to us.

 

Personally, I think he is going to be the best back drafted since Adrian Peterson.  I see a lot of parallels between the two. 

 

But, I heard Mike and Mike said this morning that in McShay's latest mock that someone is taking Mariota at #2, and it most likely won't be the Jets, and then he has them taking Gurley at #6.

 

There apparently is a huge boost in his stock now that his knee has been checked and is on schedule.

Yeah I kind of realized that from the start so I never really got my hopes up for him. Want Agholor at 25.

Agholor at 25 wouldn't be a bad pick. But I still think the Panthers are going OT in the first. I hope that either Peat or Flowers is still on the board and no doubt in my mind Peat would be the pick.

I'm OK with that.  They still can't rush the passer, and Luke and TD can just about neutralize any back.

 

Yep I'd love for them to continue adding "skill players" and ignoring their lines. Makes our linemen's jobs a whole lot easier.

I'd be fine with Peat there. Don't like Flowers though. 25 may be a slight reach for Agholor but if we want to get him we'd have to take him there. He's by far my favorite wideout prospect outside the top 2.

With all of the Gurley hype around here I feel the same way. He probably will be available when we pick unless the Chargers draft him.

I know the whole injury history is scary, especially with the way Stewart and Williams health has effected our team the past few seasons. I believe the injuries could be over hyped just look at Willis McGahee. I believe Frank Gore was hurt in college as well but I'm not 100% sure.

Adrian Peterson had shoulder surgery and a broken foot in college and he has done well in the NFL.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
