<p>The Miami Dolphins traded back to the 17th spot to draft a superstar rusher. They knew Gurley would be available at the 17th pick, and that they would get the first crack at drafting a running back this NFL Draft. This isn’t an indictment on the Dolphins running backs, as much as it is an acknowledgment that none of them are game changers.</p>
<p>Gurley is without a doubt a game changer. He has the power of Adrian Peterson and the moves of Barry Sanders. He is a once in a lifetime player who will dominate in the NFL if he can stay healthy. Gurley is a running back who can do it all and can take the football all the way to the end zone on any play.</p>
<p>The Dolphins need playmakers on the offensive side of the football. They cannot simply rely on the short and intermediate passing game. They need to have a dominant rushing attack to compliment it.</p>
<p>As for the big picture of the draft, how fun is this. The Chargers make a bold move to get Shcerff. The Dolphins take an amazing rusher and the Chiefs… just wait until you see what they do. I guess I’m a pretty bold general manager huh?</p>. Running Back. Georgia. Todd Gurley. 17. player. 59
