With the departure of Mojo, and no proven impact RB on the team, Evaluating our next franchise RB has to be a top priority after QB. I know some of yall are going to say "well we got Gerhart". Sorry but he is no impact player..He lacks speed and quickness.. Anyways im hoping we draft a rb somewhere between rnds 3-5.I would love to see Gurley here..
Smh can we see Gerhart in action first?
Gurley isn't in the draft.
Hes on the roster already.
To me it sounds like you are describing Mojo for last few years when you say " lacks speed and quickness". Now don't get me wrong I am all for drafting another RB but I would say 5th to 7th round you can find one.
I'd be a little annoyed if we grabbed a RB at 3. What was the point of signing Gerhart if we are going to take one of the first RBs off the board?

I usually would agree, but given that we have no idea who will be available at round three, I wouldn't have a problem if they took someone who they thought wasn't going to be there in the 3rd round.
For instance if they have a low first round grade to high 2nd round grade on a prospect, and he his rated in a different tier than the other players remaining, then I wouldn't see a problem with that.

lol
We will draft a RB, I like Gerhart but lets not act like he is some special RB he didnt even get a big contract
Wow, a little behind current events. If we wanted to draft a feature back, last year would have been the time to do it.
With the new system, RB by committee (although Gearhart will be the "feature") is a common approach.
This draft is deep at the position, so I wouldn't be surprised if we add one. Though, I would be surprised if that back wins the RB1 designation. But should we take one somewhere, we should have a nice stable to run with and it won't put so much pressure on Robinson to produce.
Give Gerhart a shot, and be careful to dismiss him as ho-hum...
Pro:
4.7 yard average per carry (played behind Adrian Peterson).
College:
All American
Doak Walker Award (best RB in nation)
Archie Griffin Award (college football's MVP)
Jim Brown Trophy (top RB in nation)
2009 National Offensive Player of the Year Award
2009 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year Award
First team all Pac-10
First team Pac-10 All Academic
2009 NCAA rushing leader
2009 NCAA TD leader

I think this guy is going to surprise many in Jag Nation, if we can give him an OL to open some holes.

I agree...he has started 6 games...
Yards: 405 rushing
Avg: 4.5 yards per carry
TDs: 1 rushing and 1 receiving
His longest starting streak was in 2011 when he started three games in a row and he got better every game...
Is he going to be the next Fred Taylor or MJD in his prime...no...but is he has bad as some want to believe...no...I think he will be a good back for us...
Now I am not opposed to drafting a guy to eventually take over...

Gurley....
good luck with that ever becoming an NFL star
Tre Mason or Bryce Brown
in tandem with Gerhart
is all we need at RB

What you got against Todd Gurley?

I'm just going to assume you've never seen him play.
Here's a name to remember...Karlos Williams.

The player? nothing. Not a football name.

Didn't say he wasn't any good.
Something always seems to happen to players with goofy names like that that keep them from reaching their potential. He'll probably have bunch of injuries or something.
I predict 100% that he will not be an NFL star. Something will derail it. No matter how talented he is.
