GurleyThe St. Louis Rams made running back Todd Gurley out of Georgia the first running back selected in the first round since 2012, grabbing him with the 10th overall pick in the draft.

One of the most complete running back prospects to make the transition to the NFL since Adrian Peterson, Gurley’s recovery from a torn ACL wasn’t enough to keep him out of the top 10.

When healthy, the Georgia product should be quick to take over as the feature back in the Rams offense, giving the club the kind of productive running game it’s struggled to find in recent seasons.

Already having some intriguing talent at the position, the Rams can be patient with Gurley’s recovery and ensure he’s 100 percent healthy before he takes the field in the NFL.
