The St. Louis Rams have selected Todd Gurley with the tenth overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports).
Todd Gurley is an all-around workhorse back and without his injury concerns, would have an argument as a top ten selection. What makes Gurley special is his balance and power. He’s able to run through arm tackles like they’re nothing. He has a good sense of how to run in short yardage situations and will never go down easy.

The Georgia back also displays very solid athleticism. Before the injury, Gurley showed the ability to stop and start with the best of them. The ability to accelerate and outrun the defenders angle is a must for NFL backs and Gurley does it on a regular basis.

For a 230+ pound back, Gurley moves effortlessly. He’s shifty and quick enough to make defenders miss while always having the threat of bulldozing them over.

There are some minor concerns about Gurley’s vision, but I don’t see this as a glaring issue, but rather something that can be fixed with more time. His issue lies primarily in his lack of patience and eagerness to find the hole.

Gurley’s also a great receiver out of the backfield, but needs mechanically refined in some route running and blocking technique.

Like Steven Jackson, Gurley will need to work out some mental flaws, but will be one of the better three down backs in the league if healthy.
