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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
