With as many needs as the Rams have, using 1 of their 1st 3 picks on a RB means 1 of 3 things:
1. The RB they draft was far and away the top rated player on their board
2. Todd Gurley is not going to be healthy and they need to severly limit his touches going forward, or be prepared to replace him from week to week.
3. They don't like what they have in their backups, which is weird since I thought Brown was doing a great job until his injury.
I just don't see any other options there.
If it is arthritis or a degenerative knee issue (like I have) Gurley is going to have to be managed very carefully. Right up until he can be cut and replaced. That sounds harsh, but you cannot run an offense like McVay wants to run with a RB no one expects to carry the ball because he is too banged up. Play action becomes a waste of a motion from the QB.
