I think it's more like due diligence just in case he's there when we pick in the 2nd round.

Maybe the injury issues are a good comparison. I hope the Jags don't draft a back until at least round 3. Gurley and Gordon are nice backs, but people are latching on to names. An all-around tight end and a receiver with deep speed are more pressing needs for the Jaguars and in today's NFL. 

All respect to Gurley, but the FT comparison is just off. Size/strength perhaps, but you can't do a FT comparison unless the guy has size/strength AND Fred's shake...which is really what stands out from his playing style.

Without the ACL injury, he is a top 10 talent.  With the ability now for young players to bounce back from these injuries, I don't see him falling beyond 25.

Probably. But I just felt like saying smokescreen.

Can't argue with that at all, strong take
