2015 NFL Mock Draft: Melvin Gordon is a Colt

Dorial Green-Beckham. 31. player. 36. <p>The Seahawks make a massive splash at the back end of the first round by selecting the biggest wildcard in this class. Dorial Green-Beckham would give Russell Wilson a massive target out wide for the entirety of his prime, and help the Seahawks to transition out of the Marshawn Lynch era, whenever that time comes.</p> <p>Green-Beckham’s off-field issues are well-documented, but I trust Pete Carroll to take this individual into his locker room and manage his growth. He has the potential to be one of the best players in this draft, and the Seahawks could strike it big if they take a gamble against the chances that he flops at the next level. On a roster this strong from top to bottom, Seattle can afford to.</p> <p>I was surprised by DGB’s bench press and vertical jump numbers from the combine, but his 4.49 showing in the 40-yard dash was incredible. At 6’5″, 235 pounds, his body is a clone of Calvin Johnson’s and there aren’t many defenders in this league who will high-point the ball over top of him. There is a ton of polishing to do here, but he can be an immediate threat on deep routes and red-zone jumpers.</p> <p>Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are reportedly in early conversations regarding a large contract extension, so it is important to surround him. I’m sure that Doug Baldwin would have a pre-planned speech about how the “pedestrian” wide receivers on the roster are just fine, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. Wide receiver isn’t need number one in Seattle, but this could be a beautiful match.</p>. WR. Oklahoma
