I'd trust John and Pete would fill other beefy needs before picking Gurley in the 1st.... even if Marshawn walks.

This pick is sweatpants boner worthy at #61 instead of #31 (but won't happen).

Yeah, Gurley is too much of a luxury to take at 31. Lynch has at least one, if not two seasons left. At 31, they need to pick a guy that will make an impact next year and they have a ton of positions where that could happen. OL, DL, WR, and CB.

Agree, they can't be cute this draft because they have legit holes on their roster for the first time since before the 2013 season. They have taken a pretty big hit in depth last year and will probably do so again this year. DGB (or another similar WR) would improve the WR corp in a lot of ways - he gives Seattle a legit #1 target, Baldwin can move into the slot where he is a lot better than on the outside, and they can put Kearse/Richardson/Norwood on a team's shit CB. If they don't hit on a lot of draft picks this time, they are going to have to make a splash into free agency and sign a really good player or two.
