Where should Todd Gurley be drafted?

April 21, 2015
Will former Georgia running back Todd Gurley be a first-round draft pick? 
That's a question being debated - video above just one example - ahead of next week's NFL Draft in Chicago.

He is unquestionably among  the top 5 running backs on the board. The AJC's D. Orlando Ledbetter, in his analysis of the NFL's top prospects, says Gurley will likely be the first running back selected in the first round since 2012.

Gurley was recently given a clean bill of health following his medical re-check of his surgically repaired knee. But it's that knee injury -- which may cause him to miss the start of his rookie season -- that will likely push him down in the draft.
