Didn't they have more or less the worst running game in the NFL last year? Running back is a fixable position without using a high pick on one. Had they been patient and taken a Jay Ajayi, Duke Johnson or Ameer Abdullah in the second or third round, they'd have been better off and probably have a pretty decent running game next year.
Got to think it's for Gordon. Was Houston that likely to take Gordon? Gordon is a good player, but RBs are on a really short clock. Don't like taking them in the first, really don't like trading up for them.
Wow! I thought for sure this pick would be Andrus Peat. Fisher does love his athletic freaks, though, and Gurley is definitely that. Still don't like taking RBs in the first round, though.
said every football fan of every draft pick ever White's got a higher likelihood of busting than a lot of those players. That said, he's got a lot more upside than a lot of those players as well.
