Gurley seems to be a generational talent. Cooper and White should be solid prospects. Gordon will be situation dependent.

Re: The top 4...
Cooper, Gordon, Parker, Gurley, White.
Amari is well polished, has been coached up already in college by some of the best and exceled against elite opponents. I'd have Gurley higher if he was proven healthy (obviously).
I'm not buying the one year wonder with White.

Re: The top 4...
I'm really not on the "generational talent" boat with Gurley. Good, but over rated. I've never even seen him make a spin move, ever. Surely a generational talent could make a spin move? AP, that was a generational talent. Gurley isn't close to that good.
1. Cooper
2. White
3. Gordon
4 Gurley
Gurley can't even stay on the football field, so I have him ranked lowest. He is talented, but I don't see him being able to carry the load. Never carried over 30 times in a game, only carried more than 165 times once in 3 seasons. Hasn't shown the ability to be a workhorse over a sustained period of time. I see Gurley being a Steven Jackson type player, but probably missing more time. Good power back with speed, but not a generational talent at all.
Gordon does nothing but produce. Lead back, can carry the load. Great quickness and initial burst, good power as well. Certainly not situationally dependent in my eyes.
White is a physical receiver with a mean streak, but needs to polish his game.
Cooper is the most pro ready, and probably the safest pick out of all of them.
I have the receivers 1 and 2 based on PPR scoring, and longevity at the position.

Re: The top 4...
I second this. I'm not into the Gurley is a generational talent thing. I don't see elite RB attributes except his measurables. He also has injury history. I'll take him if he falls, but no chance over Cooper, and not over White (who I think has equal measurables for his position and more positional talent), or Gordon (draft location dependent) who I'm more comfortable with as a RB talent. I'd probably put Winston above him too, although I understand him being lower in a 1QB league.FantasyFreak wrote:I'm really not on the "generational talent" boat with Gurley. Good, but over rated.

Re: The top 4...
My top 4 are:
1. Kevin White
2. Todd Gurley
3. Amari Cooper
4. Melvin Gordon
Every time I watch Whites film I get more and more excited. Kids going to be good. I think he's cut from the same mold as Julio.

Cooper and Gurley are simply studs, but I will side with the position of longevity. White and Gordon are also beastly, but same argument applies to these two.

Re: The top 4...
One thing I don't like about White (or rather the WV offence) is that he ALWAYS lines up on the right side. I can't find any film of him playing on the left side of the field.

Re: The top 4...
White - everything you want to see in a WR
Gurley - talented, but not a generational talent (if I remember correctly, TRich was supposed to be a generational talent...)
Cooper - high floor, should be great
Gordon - might have been drafted first in most rookie draft if he declared a year sooner, but he'll still make a solid starter

Given the scarcity of RBs, I have Gordon and Gurley going 1 and 2. I have Cooper>White since White is more of an athlete than a route runner (specifically, does not run crisp routes) and I have Gordon>Gurley because, although they are both freaks, Gordon has better vision, big-play ability and durability.
