I can't watch it at work but if it's like some of the others I've seen, it has Gurley, Gordon and the kid from Boise State as 1-3. Mike Davis is way down the list which to me is bonkers.

Nah that guy's way off from everything I've seen. It's just some dude with a YouTube account.

<1% chance Gurley falls to the third round.

Injuries have consequences that are difficult to overcome.

That's kinda what I was thinking Crow. I thought it was hilarious that he had Gurley at 8 and listed as as cons that hes a HUGE injury concern.

First - an ACL can happen to ANY athlete. Some are just lucky enough never to take that hit, get that twist, or land on it wrong.

Second - if there is anyone on the planet that could have avoided a high ankle sprain from getting it rolled like TGIII did in the LSU game, I would like to meet them. The "injury prone" think is irritating because there was no way to avoid the ankle injury, and the ACL is just an occupational hazard. AP shredded his knee and came back less than a year later to almost break the single season rushing record.

Yeah, Gurley wasn't a guy who held himself out of games because of minor injuries. In fact, he played on an ankle that was less than 100% for the remainder of his sophomore season. He had 2 bad breaks, but he's going to play through a lot of minor injuries. He'll be okay.

They do but it looks like Gurley is going to get the benefit of the doubt. A runningback projected in the 1st round coming off a knee injury is absolutely remarkable.
