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

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.

Lol.
Walter Football has him going 10th
CBSSports has him at 18
USA Today also has him at 18
SBNation has him at 12
Oh look, another one has him at 12.
If he stays healthy, and there's no reason to think he won't, he'll go
in the first round.

He had his ankle rolled on the sideline. He missed 3 games and played through the pain and was still better than most backs in the league. He's 100% healthy right now. I don't know where you dipshits get that he has a history of injury. He's not pulling muscles or tearing ACL's every year. It was an injury that happened at point of contact and would have happened to anyone.

(I know Herschel wasn't a great NFL back but you get the point)

Link?
ETA- he's as good of a receiver as any of the receivers taken in the 1st round this year.. for that fact alone he'll be taken in the first round.
