The Winners and Losers of Round 1 of the NFL Draft
Todd Gurley will more than likely be a good player at the NFL level, but did the Rams make the wrong choice in drafting him?

Losers: Rams Select Another Running Back at 10th Overall

Now, I know that that's a vaguely misleading title to this slide, but that is absolutely one way -- and I think a fair one -- to frame the story. The full story is that Todd Gurley, Georgia running back, wasn't only the first running back drafted in Round 1 since Pro Football Focus in 2014, could have gotten the highest upside offensive tackle of this class in Stanford's Andrus Peat. Instead, they added more to a stacked position and then threw late-round darts at their offensive line; not a strategy for success.
