Gurley is a little more of risky move. After suffering a torn ACL this past season, do the Lions really want to take the risk on another running back with an injury background? Some out there believe he worth the chance.
Draft is for the long-term & Gurley's the most talented RB in draft RT @millertime2081: gordon 100% healthy or gurley not 100%#wisconsinboy

Gurley has been proclaimed the better running back by many others. This writer believes that a 100% Gurley is a no brainer for the Lions. The thing that puts up the red flags for me is Gurley not participating in the combine. Which could be helpful for the Lions if other teams decide to take a pass due to no exposure.
