Anyone here opposed to drafting Gurley early, say "I" or forever hold your peace.

Vision

Against Clemson in the 2013 opener, Gurley showed excellent patience and vision on this 12-yard touchdown jaunt. The timing of the play was thrown off from the beginning because the quarterback and fullback bumped into each other before the handoff. After initially being stalled by his fullback, Gurley did not panic. He kept his head up and shoulders squared to the line. This allowed him to see the cutback lane and make a deadly jump cut to the inside, away from the over-pursuing defense.

That is Bashaud Breeland--a corner with Washington who started 15 games this season as a rookie--who tried to tackle Gurley high at the five-yard line and looked foolish. That tackling effort will not work against Gurley, who possesses a powerful stiff arm.

Speed

Gurley may not be a burner like Chris Johnson, but he certainly has above average speed and burst.

Earlier in the same 2013 game against Clemson, Gurley blew through a huge hole for a 75-yard touchdown scamper. The impressive part of the run was once Gurley was in the open field. The safety had the angle on him, but Gurley ate up the cushion and easily outpaced him.

Against Clemson in 2014, Gurley rushed for 198 yards and three scores on just 15 carries. The Tigers finished the season fifth in the country in rushing yards allowed per game and gave up just 2.97 yards per rush. Yet Gurley torched them for the second straight season. On this run, the cornerback did not want any part of Gurley, who ran right through him, stayed on his feet, and cruised away from the safety for a 51-yard score.

Athleticism

Gurley was a world-class high school hurdler. He competed for Team USA in the 2011 World Youth Championships and for Georgia during his sophomore campaign. Last season against Tennessee, he showed off his athleticism by turning the corner and hurdling a defender.

Gurley would make for a solid investment for the Lions assuming his health is good and they give him the time to make a full recovery. If they could steal him at 23, he'd be very inexpensive and worth the risk. I think teams with picks starting around 15 will consider him. He has the ability to change games drastically and be a potential face of a franchise.

If I had to guess, Im sure the Lions are doing a ton of homework on him. Its been a area where the team has been trying to get better at for a long time. Adding Gurley with Bell on makes a pretty damn good backfield.

I. We won't need any RBs with how much we'll be throwing. Better draft a brick wall and just plop Stafford behind it all season.
