Will Gettleman be tempted to draft Gurley @ 25?

[nctarheel0619]

I don't think DGB will even be on their board tbh. 

 

We would be moronic not to interview him at least 5 times.  God if we bypass him for some ass hole I'm going to be so pissed.

I think we will look to replace (and yes, on paper, it makes sense to cut him) Tolbert.  Varga from Yale in the late rounds would be a great fit here. 

 

My youngest son, when he was about 5, said, "I don't know why anyone would buy a cat.  All you have to do is put a bowl of food on the porch and one shows up."

 

I see an undrafted free agent competition here.  The draft is deep at RB, so one will fall to us after the draft.

 

I have read chat about us going after one in free agency.  Ha Ha Ha Ha.

 

Kinda off topic but if we do end up cutting Tolbert to clear more space, both Hynoski and John Conner are going to be available in the FA.  2 really solid FBs.  I don't think having one that can run is a huge plus in a Shula offense but to have a strong blocking one is big.

Gurley > Gordon but no to a RB

[TheRumGone]

this board is obsessed with picking RB's in the 1st round

I 100% agree.  We need a Hoover.  FBs are not expensive but they do so much for the offense.  Pass blocking, run blocking, pass receiver, special teams, etc.  Brockel is a TE coverted to Hback.  Tolbert is limited.

 

I would love those guys.  With our Guards, a stud FB, and a blocking RT, oh my, this team could go back to the days of ground and pound.  However, with the QB and a few WRs and Olsen, try stopping that with 8 in the box. 

 

Varga is listed as a FB, and I think he will play there, but some of that is because he is white and the media profiles the white running back. Varga would be an all-around player--could play #3 and situational RB, could play FB, would dominate on special teams.  Nick Goings, if you will.  He is a great blocker and very smart--would pick up blitzes very well.  I want him bad enough to mention him in the fourth to fifth rounds. (assuming we don't do what you say--even if we do, I would be elated).

I'm completely fine with a running back in the second round or later.

[Snake]

For the second or 3rd sure but we have more pressing needs and I just don't see him BPA at 25.

I am not gonna lie, I am thinking that if DGB convinces the guys that matter that he has learned his lesson and is a changed man, I am thinking that he will be our pick. Of course it's all predicated upon him having a good combine. I think that all the sure tackles will be gone, and although I would love to have Gurley and believe that he will be a game -changer in the NFL, I don't believe that his talent will trump DGB's. I am thinking that It will come down to DGB's interviews.

 

Yeah, DGB is a top 5-10 talent. Don't see G-man passing that up at 25 just because of some character issues over a year ago. I'd rather have Landon Collins or La'El Collins, but DGB is my choice after those two.

[Woodie]

I like David Johnson from Northern Iowa in the middle rounds.  He's a complete back that fits Gettleman and Rivera's preference.

I'm with you about the Collins kids being my top 2 choices. 

[t96]

I'm with you about the Collins kids being my top 2 choices. 

 

I would be so goddamn happy if either falls to us. Both could easily be top 10 picks though so I'm mentally preparing myself to be upset.

[Mother Grabber]

Gordon won't be picked in the first round, and I don't think hes better than Gurley.  He'll become a Jamal Charles type?  Whew, you are reaching, and yeah I have seen him numerous times.  I think Jamal Charles would dominate most competition, but Gordon couldn't dominate Ohio fuging State?  Okay, sir.  OKAY.  Better yet, get over 100 yards vs OHIO fuging STATE?  OHHHHHHHHHHHH K.  

 

you say that like they were some 2nd rate nobody school.  You do realize that they won the national championship, don't you?  and they basically shut down the potential #1 overall pick in the process.

Getting a deal with CJ Spiller gives us a return man and a change of pace back, plus makes for dangerous screen plays

God I hope not.
