I don't believe we'll draft Gurley (but then I didn’t believe we'd draft Bortles either, and that has turned out alright) but there is definitely an argument for doing it.


Its a real area of weakness for us at the moment and he appears to be a player who (like Bortles) could be a difference-maker. I think this team is very short of difference-makers. In fact I think we only have one. Maybe there are decent defensive players we can pick up in the 2nd or 3rd rounds ?


I would be worried that with our O line as it is, even he would struggle (just look at McCoy's early season struggles behind a depleted line at Philly). And you could argue that our defence is a bigger area of need. Maybe we should pick up a serviceable RB in the 2nd or 3rd rounds instead.


Of course, who knows what will happen between now and next spring. Storm Johnson might start putting up some decent figures with the help of an improved offensive line. Our defense might start to click. A defensive end might become available who is unmissable.


But at this stage I don't think it would be a disaster (or a sackable offence) to pick Gurley.
