Count 'Bility Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm shocked to see Gurley that high. I know he's a talent, but the way the game is played in the NFL, you can find a serviceable back at any point. You see the rest of the top ten. It's about pass rush, protection, quarterback play, and dynamic receivers. Quote Link to comment

Just because you can find a serviceable RB at any point doesn't mean that Gurley isn't one of the best players to be entering the draft. Quote Link to comment

I'm just sayin the trend over the past years is that teams focus more on the 4 main positions i mentioned. I figured he'd be a good 1st rounder, just thought it would be lower. Quote Link to comment

It's very likely will be a lower first round pick if teams pick based on need over best player available. Quote Link to comment

They all know more once the season is over and we know the draft order and can check the needs of teams. Hell, he could go as high as 5 for all I know. Quote Link to comment

I predict Jacksonville trading down to take Gurley. They need a running back. Maybe Minnesota takes him. Not a lot of teams need RBs. Quote Link to comment

I usually pay attention to Walterfootball.com. They have Gurley going #7 to the Jets. RG4 goes #3 to Tennessee Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I love when people cite "NFL scouts". Not any specific scout for any specific team. Just, NFL scouts. Quote Link to comment

It's about pass rush, protection, quarterback play, and dynamic receivers. I think a lot of people see Gurley as special talent. Trent Richardson went pretty high IIRC. Scouts look like they were wrong on that one but when they see a back that they think can transform an offense like AP they will still draft them in the top ten. I also think that the impact of Eddie Lacy last year and what you are seeing from Leveon Bell this year may have some thinking that the running back position may have been "oversold" so to speak.
