2015 NFL Mock Draft: Melvin Gordon is a Colt

<p>Marcus Mariota will tempt the Titans, and perhaps several other teams looking to jump up for the Duck, but Tennessee decides to ride with Zach Mettenberger for the short-term and select a defensive cornerstone with a sky-high ceiling. Randy Gregory brings a ferocious pass-rush ability that this Titans’ defense is starved for, and would help to spark Dick LeBeau’s new system.</p> <p>The athleticism with Gregory is through the roof, and he would bring a dangerous element of speed to the edge in Tennessee. It’s important that has the ability to enable these traits, too, with impressive patience and an arsenal of pass-rush moves that are well developed.</p> <p>Gregory reminds me of a player like Jason Pierre-Paul or Dion Jordan, although he’d need a month of ice cream and pizza to come close to their playing weights. At 6’6″ and 240 pounds soaking wet, many have expressed a worry that Gregory won’t have the strength and width to anchor at the next level, allowing stronger tackles to get underneath his pads and wipe him out of plays.</p> <p>Regardless, Gregory could have one of the highest ceilings in this entire draft class.  This is the type of player who will show a coach’s true worth, as he’ll need to be used correctly. There are few men on the planet more qualified to do this than LeBeau, and the player-scheme fit here is exciting.  </p>. OLB. Nebraska. Randy Gregory. 2. player. 35
