Waltefootball has us taking Gurley in the 1st so that means we need to stay clear

Say what you will about walterfootball, for a very small operation he does a great job of keeping track of team needs and general opinions on upcoming prospects.

Walter? Is that you?

---

Maybe someday I'll have that many people care one or the other about my opinion, but it hasn't happened yet.

---

As much as I hate Georgia I would love the Jags to draft him

Its hard to justify a RB in the first but I do like Gurley.  Honestly if there was a stud Olineman though, i'd rather do that.

<p class="">Agree completely RT <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/MoveTheSticks'>@<b>MoveTheSticks</b></a>: Heard one NFL exec compare Todd Gurley to Fred Taylor...I like that one.

Eh, I dont like that comparison actually.  Gurley seems to run heavier if that makes sense.  Fred was so fast and light on his feet.  Which was amazing for his size.  Gurley is big and fast but isnt nearly as quick side to side as Fred.  I think he runs harder than Fred though.

Daniel Jeremiah made that comp on his podcast a few weeks back.


I'll take it.

I agree. Fred's fleetness of foot is grossly underrated on the national scene. I think a better comparison for Todd Gurley would be Larry Johnson.

Taylor was a rare talent.

 

Hard to find a combination of speed and power like that.

 

As for Gurley, I would really have a hard time taking a running back that early.

This. Fred was a freak of nature in the 90s. Even after injuries he still played at a pro bowl level into his 30s.

During the game against south carolina he was compared to Eddie George but was said Hurley was a little faster. I wish he is in a jags uniform next year. I actually wanted Carlos Hyde this year but we made sure to give our rookie qb some weapons he can target down field instead.

---

I don't want us to use a top 10 pick on him.  I'd be fine with an early second or late first, but I can't spend that high of a pick on a RB unless he was like the second coming of Adrian Peterson (minus the current drama of course).  I don't see that from Gurley.  RBs have too short of a shelf-life to invest too much when you can get really productive ones in the 2nd-4th rounds.  As of now, I'd much rather have a stud OLB, C/G, or FS with our first round pick.

especially when we cant block

 

drafting a back before Oline is literally putting the cart before the horse

Gurley in the first 10-12 picks? No thanks.. Trade back if we finish and get a top 5 pick, take Gurley in the mid early first round and then load up on linemen.

Agreed. Trade back, get gurley, then pull a gene smith and draft like 10 lineman..
