Word on the street: Gurley going top 10

It was always a pipe dream imo. At least that should shake up the boards a bit.

Never wanted him to begin with. I anticipate he will be hurt often. 

 

That and he is a RB so the value just isn't there IMO. Get a dude in the mid rounds.

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

Mcshay has Gurley going 6 but he doesnt know poo, so theres that

Get ready to see him twice a year when the Falcons take him.

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

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.

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.

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.

What street?  Sesame Street?  No one knows poo except that Winston is probably going #1.

Jaguars addressed the o line and secondary in the offseason, i think they shock everybody and go gurly 3rd overall

Their offense would be legitimately dangerous if they draft him and Matthews improves at LT.
