#1. Todd Gurley, Running Back

Size: 6-1, 226 lbs
School: Georgia
2014 Stats: 911 rushing yards, 7.4 per carry, 9 touchdowns

My Analysis: Gurley might be a stretch for the Texans to get, and a steal if he fell down to number 16.

But he’s still a reasonable pick for the team.

There is a chance of Gurley falling that far in the draft.

He suffered an injury early this season, and was also suspended for signing autographs.

He dominated the run game in Georgia, averaging 7.4 yards per carry last season.
