Welcome Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin

[Grinners]

Good pick but I really wanted Girly Man..................................
Still happy with a RB that can take it to the house and has a eye for the End Zone.........................

According to Bryan Fischer of nfl.com, there are rumors about HOU's interest in Gordon.

Will take Watt for Gordon...

Cool, the Padres need a 2nd baseman.

I remember they made Brees pick 9 because 15 was taken by that CFL QB Dickinson, who lasted all of one season. I'd like to se Gordon in 25.

Ill decapitate my unit if hes not a huge player for us.

Now thats confidence, lol.

I agree with you though. I liked Gordon better than Gurley for his overall game. We just need to give him some running room to get started.

Seriously? I didnt know that. He has kept 9 all this time.

Be curious who we take in the 2md.

Have to wonder how Dupree + 2nd round RB would have worked out.

Visit this in 3 years I guess. Problem is that as much as I like Gordon...he truly does have to put up LT type numbers to justify the selection. If all you want is a 1100 yard guy with 5-6 TDs then that could have been found on day 2-3 IMO.

At least that's the expectation I have of a first round RB - dominating not just serviceable.

Regardless, we should all wait until TT's entire draft us finalized.

Wait. What? LT was a number 5 pick. This guy is a 17 plus about a 143 plus a 160+ next year. Those combos no way equate to a number 5. This guy has a ton of talent. I'm excited to see what he does and I don't have to compare him to LT to decide if he's a success.

Not sure why RB has gained the dubious distinction of being what you call "the most overrated position on offense". Two years ago, the team was playing well at the end of the year largely in part due to Ryan Mathews playing so well down the stretch. Shrug.

One more thing that needs to be brought to light: It isn't ONLY about stats. It's about the other team having to be concerned about the player; enough so that just being on the field disrupts their game plan. Does Donald Brown bring that to the team? Does Brandon Oliver? Danny Woodhead does. Gordon, if as advertised, will do that, too...only more so. You can't forget about him; you have to game plan to stop/contain him. Sure, a 3rd-round pick MIGHT turn out to be that type of player. But a 3rd-round OT or DT MIGHT turn out to be the next Vince Wilfork, too. All Telesco has done is increase the odds of having an impact. And he doesn't necessarily have to put up 150 yards/game to do that. He might even elevate Rivers' game; the OL's game; the WRs game.

GORGON!
