[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 599159, member: 9033"] 1) I would be shocked (shocked!) if Gurley lasts past the first couple picks in round two (pending medical evals at combine). He'll probably go in the first. Prior to his injury he was, by far, the best running back in this class and probably the best running back to come out of college football in the past few years. Gurley is the size of Eddie Lacy with the speed and cutting ability of Matte Forte (not quite the receiver Forte is now but Gurley will probably get there). He's a slightly larger version (but no slower) of Marshawn Lynch coming out of college. 2) Dawson may very well play ILB in a 3-4 in college but that's a far cry from playing ILB for the Packers in the NFL who don't have a quality NT to keep guards off him. I don't care how fast he runs. If guards are constantly getting to the guy then he's going to have to run five yards sideways just to get around them and vacate his spot. If he went to a team with a great NT, then he'll probably be amazing. 3) I really don't want the guy from Oklahoma. He has terrific size but I don't think you should trust a 330lb guy with back issues to play a physically demanding spot. Oh, and his motor is apparently a huge question mark. Agreed. However I wouldn't put a whole lot of hope on Raji recapturing a form from five years ago when he's probaly been about 40% of that player since then. Seems wildly optimistic to think that 2010 is normal Raji but 2011, 2012 and 2013 Raji are aberrations. [/QUOTE]
