The Premature Todd Gurley '14 Thread

He's not even the best back in the draft!

Fo no..
Nope...much, much bigger needs. Baalke should do whatever it takes to land Leonard Williams. Even if Justin Smith comes back, now's the time to draft his replacement. LW's the guy for the job.

Top 3 players. Low to no chance of this happening.

Neither have good value for us imo. I say Coleman in the 2nd after we draft WR or lineman in the 1st.

I think this is the case too - he outplayed Gregory in their bowl game and looks like the best player in the draft. Mariota will likely go #1, but I could see Williams going #2 ahead of Winston. A lot will depend on the combine - I could see Gregory jumping him with good combine numbers and long arms and maybe Winston if he impresses in interviews, but Williams seems far ahead of most other prospects. This could be like last year's draft where there was thought to be a large drop-off after Clowney, Mack, and Watkins so it cost the Bills a lot to move up to #4. We would have to trade almost all our picks this year to move up to #2 or give up a future first and a several other picks. Even if he drops to #4, it will cost a lot to move up.

I expect Baalke to trade up for him now that he has a torn ACL.
Yes can we please take a player at a position that isn't a huge need, can find a adequate player later in the draft, SF just drafted the top prospect in last year's draft, OH and he has a torn ACL......

He wouldn't have even been a top 15 pick if he was healthy!

You'd have to trade multiple 1st and 2nd rd picks to move in the top 3 to get him, not worth it. The Bills moved 5 spots (9th to 4th) to get Watkins and have to swap 1st and give up there 1st and 4th in the 2015 draft...to move up 5 spots! Nope not gonna happen
