What is the general consensus of where Petty would get drafted? 2nd round?

Well I definitely disagree with this. I think Gordon is better than all of those guys, clearly. But I also don't believe he's better than Gurley.

I heard on the radio yesterday that some GMs were concerned about his accuracy. not a lot of NFL teams think too highly of Briles' system either.

I think Petty will be the best QB of the draft. He's not going to be great or anything but good

I think he's Andy Dalton 2.0


And there's a lot of Smoke around the saints. That would make for quite the entertainment on saints talk

It's crazy to me that people still underestimate how fast Gurley is. The guy is faster than Conley according to most people at Georgia, at Conley was in the 4.3s at the combine.

Okay, I think he's not as good as Gurley but this tells me you haven't watched him play. Gordon is still a beast

They won't stop talking about gurley to the coons on Atlanta sports radio. Especially now that Shane Ray fricked up like he did

Ron Dayne was the best RB to ever wear a Wisconsin uniform and Montee Ball has the most career TDs in NCAA history. Dayne was one of the most notable draft busts of all time and the jury is still out on Ball but it doesn't look good.

That means you don't think very highly of this years QB class.

I don't know what you're laughing at.

If Collins isn't cleared, then many teams will take him off their boards completely. I've already heard several former-execs say today that he is completely undraftable at this point.

One thing I will say about Gordon was that he was a big time recruit coming out of high school while the other guys on the list weren't from what I recall. So maybe he isn't a product of the system case.

The officer just clarified -- the police and Collins have resolved to schedule the interview after draft, which is why there's no date/time.


This is bad for him that there will be no clarification until after the draft.

I really hope, for his sake, that there is some serious "off the record" talks going on between NFL Team Security and the BRPD that clears him.

The Falcons are in a really bad PR position if they don't take Gurley, imo. It's the kind of thing where a GM could get unjustly fired if they pass and Gurley tears it up, just due to fan pressure.

I don't watch enough college ball to give an opinion on who is better. I was just addressing dnm's statement. The talent evaluators see something in Gurley that gives him the edge.


I think Gurley has what LeVeon Bell and Marshawn Lynch have, and that is awareness, vision and overall insticts, basically the uncoachable stuff. They are the anti-Trent Richardson. Couple that with how good he was in the SEC against the tough competition and big he came through in key spots and he gets the grade he has. Im just partial to Gordon because he can beat you in multiple ways.

Yea, no he's not. Watching him play, he doesnt even look sub 4.5. If he's sub 4.5, then so is Jeremy Hill.

When it comes to Dumbitroff, I don't think this is possible.
