  • NFL Draft 2015 Scouting Report: RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin
    2015 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT MARCH 17, 2015 NFL Draft 2015 Scouting Report: RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin *Our RB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. *We use the term “Power RB” to separate physically bigger, more between-the-tackles–capable RBs from our “speed RBs” group. “Speed RBs” are physically smaller, but much faster/quicker, and less likely to flourish between the tackles. If you’ve read any of my previous writings on Gordon, or listened to me on that recent podcast, then you already know I’m a little ‘negative’ on Melvin Gordon. Allow me to further shape this argument, because I don’t want you to think that we feel Gordon will ‘bust’ in the NFL, or assume he is a fraud of an NFL prospect. I realize that Gordon belongs in the NFL and is a possible NFL starter. He has the athleticism and performance data which shows he belongs in the NFL. My main point on Gordon (since Sept. 2014) has been that he is more human than superstar…and in that sense he causes some serious NFL-valuation concerns—because so many people have his value jacked sky high. There is no one walking the planet who thinks Melvin Gordon is ‘bad’ for the NFL, but the problem is that there are not many who feel Gordon is just ‘good’. The majority of analysts have locked-in that he is a ‘no-doubt’ franchise RB in the NFL.
