Leaving the title as it is just for bringing up the draft right before the playoff run.

No problem with the title - it's too late now anyway; My hot young wife already saw it, and she elder-abused me hahahaha.
No, Maxi, I wouldn't take Gurley in the first round or any other RB in any high round. Gordon is exceptional. As I said previously, I really don't think the Badger O Line made Gordon what he was. A lot of his runs were without exceptional blocking/with broken tackles/with unscripted cutbacks, etc.
As for Gordon compared to Lacy, I see Gordon breaking most of the same tackles Lacy broke, and I see Gordon going for TDs on most of the runs where Lacy broke into the second level and chugged about 20 or so yards before getting dragged down.
I posted this NOW - before the playoffs because I think Gordon is gonna absolutely tear up God damned Auburn, and I wanted to get ahead of the curve - touting Gordon before that game.
Dude, that is creepy as fuck that you are married to such a young gal.
First off, giv Tex infinite credit for landing a hot wife who's younger. Who the hell wants one their age anyways ???
Secondly, I love Melvin Gordon but I struggle with how well his game translates. I've hear comparisons with LT and Charles and if he's a poor man's either he'll be a stud. I think he has great vision and is a great rb. I'd take him over Gurley....not to even mention Gurley might not be a good person.
I'd bless him as our first round pick; just not sure I'd pound the table due to other needs. I think he'll be a very good NFL running back but we are strong there.
With that being said, look at some of the crap 1st round picks we've had. So I'd be fine with Melvin if he's the BPA.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

Sorry, Tex. I think Gordon's performance in the Outback is taking the air out of your balloon, plus making Melvin a bundle of cash.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

A solid day for Melvin Gordon in a Wisconsin's 34-31 OT win Vs Auburn at the Outback Bowl game:
When the score was Auburn 31 - Wisconsin 28:
Melvin Gordon's Day >>> 31 Carries for 249 yards and 3 TDS !
Here's one of his TDs ... a 53-yard run on 4th and 1 to put the Badgers up 21-17:

I don't even think Gordon would be available. But if he was he'd be hard to pass up
Best RB in college football won't be around at pick 32!
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
It'll be interesting to see how Gordon does at the combine and his Pro Day.
It may be interesting. It won't make much of a difference where this kid goes in the draft. He's a bona-fide top 15 draft pick. There are very few guys who have both elite power and speed on the college level...Gordon is one of them.
RBs haven't gotten much love in the draft lately, but without many top shelf QBs in the draft this year I think the RBs will go higher than they have in the past few years to teams looking for offensive help.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
That's where I'm at, too. They have Lacy, what would they do with Gordon? It would be a big waste. Starks (85) and Lacy (246) had 331 carries combined. Does it make sense to have Lacy and Gordon, and give each only 10 carries a game? How effective would either be if used that way?
