re: SECr, I have to ask. Will Todd Gurley be a first round pick next year?

He certainly has the talent but unfortunately Richt has ridden his star pony too hard and Gurley is now injury prone. Sad that Richt is ruining guys' playing careers by riding them too hard in college. Just look at Murray, if not for the torn ACL, he probably would have been a solid 2nd-3rd round pick.

Running backs are not a premium position anymore in the league.

None of this is even close to accurate. Stop posting.

Gurley is a beast no doubt. What he did while playing injured in the SEC was impressive. He is a first round talent and (if avoiding injury) will make a bunch of NFL teams look stupid for passing on him.
I hate georgia but I am not ignorant when it comes to seeing NFL talent. He has it and then some.

With his injury history? no way

Please, tell us about his injury history.
Posted on 5/11/14 at 7:46 am to AllBamaDoesIsWin
he is the perfect RB. Big, fast, powerful, elite vision, elite balance, WR hands, (can't comment on the blocking because I haven't watched him block but I'm sure he exceeds at that too). Dude got hurt on a freak accident, comes out for three games, comes back and turns into the #1 WR. He had one game after his injury where he didn't average at least 5.2 ypc rushing and still put up nearly 100 receiving yards in that game.
AFTER his injury he averaged per game:
90 yards rushing 1 TD 66 yards receiving 1 TD
I can't understand him not going top 10 next year if he is fully healthy. I mean you are looking at Ladainian Tomlinson, Marshall Faulk type versatility in an even bigger back.

I will say that Gurley has a better chance than most RBs in that he's very productive as a receiver and has the size to be a potentially elite pass protector, beyond just his ability as a runner.

Let it go man. It's been 2 years.

Trent Richardson ruined it for everyone

If he can stay healthy probably a second rounder.

Probably a first rounder.

Barring another injury, I think he will definitely will go in the first round.

Datbayoubangel gets it.
Gurley receives for almost as many yards as he runs.
He's extremely dangerous in that way. I'd say even more of a weapon than Sammy Watkins, once he's got the ball in space. His hands are just as good, he's taller and possibly faster than Sammy Watkins...
That's going to be the difference that makes him a first round pick, if not a top 5 pick.
He's the "Clowney" of running backs, in my opinion.
He's also not a thug, comes from a good family, very hard working and respectful young man... not that the NFL gives a shite.

I think an injured Gurley last year skewed some people's thoughts on him. Going into the season he was looked at as the best in the country by a lot of people. Now, he missed some games, didn't put up quite the numbers, and you frickers are in for a rude awakening. 
First round, definitely. Even Moreno was a 1st rounder. Todd is twice the RB he was(is).

He's a special talent without character issues. He does like to get into shite shouting matches with the opponent tho.
You are telling me a perennial playoff to SB contender wouldn't scoop this guy up in the 20s. frick outta here. The debate is will he land inside or outside the top 10.

Absolutely not. The shelf life of the avg running back is 3yrs in the nfl. Gurley's already shown signs of nagging injuries. Plus big backs don't really do all that well at the next level due to the fact that thy don't have a very low center of gravity. You'll find that most of your great backs we're in the 5'7-5'11 range. Very few 6ft+ backs have made a large impact at the next level as an every down back.
