xskyx Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm not big on following draft stuff this year, so forgive me for not knowing..Other than UGA homerism, why does it seem that everyone screams for a Gurley trade up instead of a Gordon trade up/down? Isn't he a safer choice? Less injury concerns, powerful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halsey. Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Who says trade up? I wouldn't want the Falcons trading up for any player in this Draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTann Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I know you already ruled it out, but because Gurley went to Georgia and Gordon didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaRdH3ad Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Dude that's the only way Gordon is considered over Todd. When both healthy I don't see how it's even close, I honestly expect Gordon to struggle one he realizes he isn't getting huge running holes like he did in college ala mark Ingram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halsey. Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I know this isn't convenient for some of you, but here's an example of why Gurley is a better prospect:Gurley receptions as a true sophomore: 37MG3's total receptions in 4 years of college: 22Oops, looks like UGA homers somehow made Todd Gurley a much more proven pass catcher.

Isn't he a safer choice? Less injury concerns, powerful..first of all, every time someone says something good about a Georgia Player, it's not homerism. Gurley is hands down the best back in the draft, the nation, in college football period. That's all Gordon is. A safe pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a ton of people yelling for a player just because he's on their favorite team. No need to get all defensive, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD597 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 People want Gurley just cause they are UGA homers,end of story. It makes no sense given our biggest need is pass rusher. Just homers and their wild *** dreams is all this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Tony G. Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Gordon has been projected as a mid to late 1st round pick since the season ended. He's simply not in our draft range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK Manley Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Scout: Todd Gurley best RB in draft since Adrian PetersonYou'd think people are talking about drafting Hutson Mason or something with all of the "UGA homerism" talk. It's Todd F'in Gurley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoFalconsFan56 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm down to just draft Gurley at 8 and see if Randy gregory is there in the 2nd. I mean my heart tells me that my brain definitely does not. I'm just a Gurley-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
