STEAL

Round 1, Pick 10 (St. Louis Rams). Todd Gurley. 2. player. 51. <p>Todd Gurley is going to be a superstar in the NFL IF he stays healthy. He still has to recover from his injury at the end of last year. But that is the only risk that comes with him, and it is why our Mock Draft had him falling to a later pick.</p> <p>However, Gurley can literally do everything. He is a recreation of Marshall Faulk for Jeff Fisher and the St. Louis Rams, given the fact that he can run between the tackles, he is deadly in open space and as a pass-catcher, and he can return kickoffs and punts.</p> <p>This was indeed a running back worth taking in the Top 10 fully healthy.</p> <p>Fortunately, all of Gurley’s injuries come across as injuries that don’t really stick with you, so that could make him more of a steal. It seems like these injuries were just by chance.</p> <p>And as he gets fully healthy, he is exactly what Nick Foles, or whomever the quarterback is next year, for St. Louis, will need. Assuming he stays healthy, even as the No. 10 pick in the draft, Gurley will be a major steal.</p>. RB (Georgia Bulldogs)
