I have seen some speculation that this is why RBs seemed to drop in this year's class, because of the depth and quality that is expected to come out next season. I thought about that when guys like Dixon and Perkins lasted forever... I wondered if teams had just decided they'd rather wait for next year. |

In the last 4 years, there have been 81 RBs selected in the NFL draft. 31 different teams have selected at least 1 RB. The only team not to select an RB, the New York Jets (not counting Tommy Bohanon or any other FBs). Last RB drafted by the Jets. Terrance Ganaway from Baylor in the 6th round in 2012. Which is more likely and RB next year somewhere in the draft or an offensive player in the first round? It should have ended last year. It really should have. Till the day I die, (or Williams blows Watt out of the water) - I will always contest that Gurley should have been the pick last year. The difference on-field for THIS team, would be dramatic with Gurley. Changes everything. At some point, you have to win fucking football games. Pretty sure Gurley is capable of helping in that department. This is part where i say something to the effect of - well the jets are poised to look at RB in round 1 next year - but we all know that's a farce. |

Good for him and at the very least it shows intelligence on his behalf. Every top RB in this class should have some type of protection because that RB position has been so volatile over the recent years when it comes to blown-out knees. I'm glad a player like Jaylon Smith had a policy protecting his best interests when draft time rolled around. In the bigger picture scenario he probably would have fared better had he dropped another round. |
