Greg Cosell: Todd Gurley "arguably the #1 prospect in this draft"

[gettlemanjack]

Charlie Campbell of Walter Football has Gurley as his #2 overall prospect behind Famous Jameis Winston, writing: "If I had to pick a player or two from this draft class who will have a Hall of Fame career or be among the best at their positions in the NFL, I would go with Gurley and Winston."

Now Greg Cosell of NFL Films, who has watched as much film as anybody, has written an article for Yahoo Shutdown Corner arguing: "Georgia’s Todd Gurley is clearly the best running back in this class, but I think he might be even more than that. I think you can make the argument that Gurley is the best prospect, at any position, in the draft...He's arguably the best prospect in this draft."

Suns out, guns out for former UGA RB Todd Gurley at the Georgia Spring Game!

Hershel Walker...never made the NFL HOF

Sounds right

[rayzor]

dude played less than 40% of offensive snaps in last 3 years.

 

i'm SURE it will be different with us though.

And if he falls to 25 get ready to see him in black, blue & silver.

If we draft this guy I am making a petition to Kurb that we ban the first basic bitch who says "After a run like that we should nickname him Todd MANLY!"

[rayzor]

And if he falls to 25 get ready to see him in black, blue & silver. 

 

and then get used to seeing him more on the staionary bike than on the field.

 

fits the panther RB mold perfectly in that regard. overvalue an RB and watch him hurt and in street clothes on the sidelines talking about how he wished he could be out there on the field.

I will rip my dick off if we take a RB in the first. If Gurley was durable I wouldn't mind so much but he isn't so... no.

[rayzor]

who would help more? an elite player who is only active half the time or a really good player who plays every week?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Assuming he is healthy, that's a legit argument to be made. Dude is amazing and has all the tools to be a HOFer.

 

Not that worried about his injury history tbh.

[scarface]

He is definitely my #1 prospect for the Panthers at 25. I wish I could pre-order my Panthers Gurley jersey already.

Yes you can get a RB to produce in the draft if you have the oline etc. Gurley seems to be one of those RBs who is going to beast DESPITE the oline. Strong runner and very hard to bring down. I have not seen any other RB in this draft demonstrate that.
