I hope he can pass protect day 1

I couldn't belive IT as first, but now I'm warming to it.
Now we need blockers

 

[bluecoconuts]

Interesting choice to say the least, I'm a bit taken back since it seems that there isn't much of a premium on running backs anymore.

I don't hate the pick, I don't know much about him to judge yet.

 

[LetsGoRams]

I've loved Gurley for a few years now. Just shocked we drafted him. Didn't seem like a great need. Maybe they are envisioning the one-two punch with he and Mason. I bet this spells the end for Pead and maybe Stacy too.

In the first round you draft big talent gurley = big talent

o linemen that were available were lesser talents. This is why I believe that the current front office is on the right track to vet us back to the playoffs and winning football

Im not sure how I feel about this, I dont hate it but I dont love it either. He was obviously bpa but not a true need and coming off an injury. There could have been many picks at 10 that I absolutely would have hated so im ok with this I guess as long as they actually get some olinemen

 

[V3]

I'm fine with the pick ONLY IF his knees can hold up. I'm not sure I would have taken that risk. If we get the pre-injury Gurley, it's a solid pick. Didn't really like any of the OL at 10 and I wasn't sure about Parker. So....there wasn't much to choose from, IMO. Gurley it is.

Best RB prospect since AP. This move tells me that this team is confident in re-signing Barks and maybe signing Blalock. Foles isn't going to be asked to win us games, Foles will be asked to manage the game. OL Picks are coming in the mid-rounds, I guarantee it.

This is a shocker, but Gurley is a guy everyone loved in this draft, it was just a question of who loved him the most.

Y

YouTube?? Ok, then watch Melvin Gordon highlights. Confused by this pick for a couple of reasons...

Gordon is a great player, no doubt, but remember he had fumbling issues at times. I think that may hold him back in his pro career.

Sounds like a possible recipe to me.

Please tell me the Rams will hold him off the field for awhile so that his knee is 110% and he gets to see the speed of the NFL.

Agreed. Please do not rush this kid.

When did Mason really see the field?

I think that's why Gurley didn't scare them. He's not starting week 1 if healthy anyway.

 

[ramfan46]

Thrilled! Really seems like this regime will stick to their board and take the guy they like. The common theme I notice from this regime is they are all athletic freaks at their positions. I think they really like the raw super athletes that have a love for the game. This selection of Gurley really solidifies my confidence in the way the this regime scouts talent. If this guy is healthy I think the Rams make the playoffs in 2016.

Congratulations. You just passed on Andrus Peat and DeVante Parker to piss off Tre Mason. Well done, Snisher.

And they should worry about what Mason feels in their decision making?

 

[ZigZagRam]

First Snisher pick where I haven't been ecstatic but I get it.

I have a fundamental belief to avoid RBs in the first but Gurley is obviously very special.

The durability is my hang-up though.

 

[Memento]

And they should worry about what Mason feels in their decision making?

No, I don't care about that. I care that we fucking passed on two players that we needed for someone that we didn't. Horrible, horrible pick.

The Rams picking for need = the last 10 years of sub .500 play!
