The Falcons selected Beasley with the eighth overall pick and the Rams selected Gurley with the tenth overall pick. UGA fans were screaming for Todd Gurley and they went full force on Twitter in the Falcons mentions when they selected Beasley. Going into the draft most NFL scouts did not even think Beasley would be available at pick number eight.
Vic Beasley has not lived up to his potential, but he is 100 percent the correct pick over Todd Gurley. Trigger warning for Georgia fans: selecting Todd Gurley would have been a disaster for the Falcons.
