Seeing as nearly all 1st round rookie RBs appreciate in value going into their 2nd year, I'm fine with this pick. He's gonna appreciate almost surely and may have an opportunity for some significant touches if Gurley's wonky knee stays wonky.

I wouldn't say "appreciate almost surely". I think he's a niche player and the Rams will try to use him wisely.... TRY being the key word.

You're gonna wish you took Campbell with that pick soon enough.

Michael Lombardi:
Gurley's knee was a medical concern coming out of Georgia, most of the NFL was in shock when the Rams gave him that huge deal on his second contract, not because of talent, rather because of his knee.

Although the offseason is a time for unbridled enthusiasm, @JayGlazer acknowledges that Rams RB Todd Gurley's knee is "a concern"

Because fantasy football, is well, fantasy football unpredictable, it will end up being Malcolm Brown being the benefactor. Even if that would make the least amount of sense.

You fellas MD, DO, or DPTs?

yes

Does it really matter though? If they can’t agree, what’s the takeaway here? Neither one is Gurly’s doctor, so they are just speculating like the rest of us. Maybe from a better vantage, but still guessing. If I’m gonna trust a medical evaluation I’ll listen to inside sources that have better info about the situation and a verifiable medical history.

Nearly everything is fantasy is speculation. I've kept mine to myself, because I don't specialize in radiology or ortho. If they do, or are DPTs, their opinions carry more weight imo. If not, i tend to agree with you.

“It is a concern,” Jay Glazer writes in his latest Q&A for TheAthletic.com, regarding Gurley’s knee. “The sky isn’t falling but even now, they’re being smart about it. It did swell up on him last year, this is a knee that has had wear and tear. Eventually, you’re going to factor this in especially with them having to sit him down the stretch last year. It’s not all doom and gloom, but it is definitely something you have to monitor and be prepared for in case that thing blows up on him again. We already learned that lesson last year. That’s why he isn’t doing any on-field work yet.”

The RB guy talking about a WR? Does that mean Campbell will struggle since you’re bragging him up a bit???

LOL. I think it's more that he doesn't like Henderson than he's bragging up Campbell.

If you think you’ll be any more happier after taking Campbell you will be sorely mistaken. Campbell’s low percentile BA, low percentile final DR, and low career DR gives him an incredibly low chance of being anymore than a solid WR3. Come up with all the excuses you want (where he played), no top WR in the past 10-15 years has had that combination of bad analytics and scores in the top 24 more than twice.

Parris also barely averaged 10 yards per catch, despite being super fast, shifty and on a team with many other weapons. You know who else had that kind of profile... Well he went high in the 1st round to St Louis a few years ago and rhymes with Raydon Mustin.

Well he was the next player off the board.

I can assure you that I am not speculating. You should take your own advice in that last sentence

everyone should read this carefully.

but then austin had jeff fisher as a coach and he wasn't really big on doing things the right way and surrounding himself with good offensive coaches. by the time mcvay came round austin was a lost cause. coaching is everything in player's early years.

I got him in the 3rd round of my 10 team draft in main league, Gurley owner offered me Chris Herndon, who is someone I tried getting off him earlier in the offseason for an early 2nd pick but he declined.

Am I dumb for holding for the homerun swing on Henderson just because I see him going late 1st in other drafts, and not selling an overhyped handcuff for a TE I like in what would be a quick profit of mid 3rd to early 2nd value?

The earlier Kamar references seemed eerily familiar, like just last year familiar. Then I found this

Herndon wouldn’t move the meter for me.
