FalconFanSince1970 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I know. I know. Another Gurley thread right? Yes it is. Face it folks. I want the Gurley man. I believe he would have a bigger impact on our team. Especially in year one. I mean just take a look at the rookie sack production of some of the top edge rushers drafted in the last couple years: Ezekiel Ansah - 8.0 Barkevious Mingo - 5.0 Sio Moore - 4.5 Khalil Mack - 4.0 Anthony Barr - 4.0 Kony Ealy - 4.0 Bjoern Werner - 2.5 Jeremiah Attaochu - 2.0 Dion Jordan - 2.0 Dee Ford - 1.5 Alec Ogletree - 1.5 Stephon Tuitt - 1.0 Alex Okafor - 0.0 Datone Jones - 0.0 Jadaveon Clowney - 0.0 Meh. A putrid average of 2.7 sacks in their rookie seasons, with a high of 8.0 by Ezekiel Ansah. There were DTs with better rookie year sack production. Now let's contrast that to the rookie seasons of some of the top RBs drafted in the last couple years: Eddie Lacy - 1435 yards and 11 TDs Jeremy Hill - 1339 yards and 9 TDs Le'veon Bell - 1259 yards and 8 TDs Giovanni Bernard - 1209 yards and 8 TDs Zac Stacy - 1114 yards and 8 TDs Andre Ellington - 1023 yards and 4 TDs Tre Mason - 913 yards and 5 TDs Terrance West - 737 yards and 5 TDs Montee Ball - 704 and 4 TDs Bishop Sankey - 702 yards and 2 TDs Jerick McKinnon - 673 yards and 0 TDs Carlos Hyde - 401 yards and 4 TDs Charles Sims - 375 yards and 1 TD Knile Davis - 317 yards and 4 TDs Joseph Randle - 225 yards and 2 TDs That's an average of 828 yards and 5 TDs in their rookie seasons, with six 1000 yard rushers. Yes I know this draft is deep with RBs, but none are on Gurley's level. I also know that many pass rushers improve after their rookie seasons, but to tell the truth, only Beasley has that it factor to me, and I believe he will be long gone by the time we're on the clock. I would hate to take Gregory and watch him rack up three whopping sacks, while Gurley runs NE into another Super Bowl. What yall think?

AreJayDubya Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Gurley if Beasley isn't there...he's the power run game Quinn wants..Quinn saw first hand what lynch did for Seattle so why not? If we take Dupree over Gurley I'm not gonna be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Guess we should never draft a pass rusher. Stop bishing about it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawse Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The truth is, I am not sold on any of this pass rushing talent..... not this year. I am however sold on how Gurley is the best RB in this draft, which is an area we need to address as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 None of those RBs listed were taken in the 1st round though.Could still get a potential edge rusher of the future(depending on how the draft plays out before pick #8) and still get a potentially good RB in the 2nd round or later.

We'll see 3 RB's go in the 1st at least, with Gurley being the 1st to be selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonDaLuvMaker Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Alec Ogletree is the Rams WLB, he is not an edge rusher.Sio Moore is also a WLB, for the RaidersDatone Jone is one of the Packers 3-4 DEs, he is not an edge rusher.Stephon Tuitt is also a 3-4 DE, for the Steelers.

Moist Words Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Can't we just go ahead and skip to the meltdown when we don't draft him?At least that will be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think if gurley falls past 20 then we can have both.That would be even better, but we'd probably have to trade back into the first to get him. I don't think he'll fall to our second. Freebird where you at? I'll post a Gurley vid. That should get you on here. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't give a crap about year one. I want a Super Bowl, and Super Bowls aren't won with instant gratification moves.Well, the facts is, it doesn't matter what position we draft among the top prospects. There is zero evidence the guy or guys any of us wants will ever drag this team to the super bowl. Gurley has just as much chance as anyone else.Heck, we have one of the top handful of QBs in football, and he hasn't been able to do it.

If he hadn't had the ACL injury he would definitely be a top 10 pick, and might still be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
