I would pounce on Gurley in the first this year
He's an elite talent.

Even Lynch didn't do shite for the team who drafted him.

Luckily the Titans took Sankey in the 2nd round

Not sure you have noticed ,but the game has hanged....Rbs can be found in basically any round to serve the purpose a RB does in the NFL these days................

The problem is not drafting a rb in the first, it's drafting a bad one. If Forte, McCoy, Bell were first rounders, they would have been worth it. Teams need to stop making shitty evaluations.

Adrian Peterson has all those Super Bowl rings, right?

Montee Ball (Jury is still out)
Montee Ball looks like he's running in quick sand.

Lived up to their potential? lol. Like every RB drafted in RD 1 is supposed to be eric dickerson.
The shelf life of an NFL RB is 3.5 years.
DMC, Stewart, and CJ2K are still around 7 seasons later and all saw another contract or two. DMC and CJ have earned $40m+, Stewart $30m+. Mendenhall has 3 seasons of 900+ yards, a SB ring, and $14m in earnings
Felix jones is a bust. There ya go
Moreno and Brown are still in the league, saw another contract, both already earned $14m+
Wells busted
lol
Spiller and Matthews are still in their prime in the league. Both have multiple good seasons under their belt. Matthews just inked an $11m deal and Spiller a $16m deal
Still in prime, inked for $16m
Richardson and Martin may truly be busts. But they have 3 years in the league? give me a break
TBob hyped this shitty segment this AM like it was the best thing he ever heard. Cant believe they let yall put this shite out to the public

I wonder what other things we could prove with a small sample size.
