quote:So you're telling me, that bad teams get the better picks in the draft, holy shite, no way! All teams go through rough stretches and have to rebuild and none of them do it by taking a running back in the top ten or even the first round for that matter. Gurley is a great player, probably top 5ish at his position already, but running backs don't have much value because it's so hard to run the ball these days. Hell, Adrian Peterson who is the best at his position had 45 yards in a home playoff game today. Very rare to see a team build completely around a top running back and actually win a lot without having a stud defense and top 10 QB.
No shite b/c those top 10 teams had the worst records in the previous seasons, hence why they have the top picks.

You mention AP like he isn't 30 years old and just had a 1 year ban from the NFL.
Plus you can look at what E Lacy and J Starks did to negate that comment in the playoffs. Or you could us A Blue who got almost 100 yards too.
Plus you are the genius who said no superbowl winning teams draft a rb in the top 10. When was the last time NE got a top 10 draft pick? When was the last time GB, or Seattle got a top 10 draft pick?
Either way, point is Gurley has done way more at the 10th pick in this draft, than Vic B has done this season. Plus Gurley missed a few games and wasn't even a year removed from an ACL injury.
Again, Gurley > Beasley. I would of been happy with Gurley instead of VB, but I would of just rather of wanted someone else than VB at number 8. Honestly if we could of traded back that would of been ideal instead of taken VB.

Also Gurley gets a knock of being injury prone, but I think it is very unjustified. Spraining your ankle like he did vs LSU does not make him injury prone. One ACL injury does not make him injury prone. THe ACL is his first real injury, so being injured 1 time does not make someone injury prone. Sprain ankles shouldn't count for someone being injury prone, especially considering that was the only sprain ankle injury he has ever had.
