#14 NFL Draft - Melvin Gordon - RB - Wisconsin

This is arguably one of my favorite players this draft. Not too many guys run for 2,500 yards in a season. As a matter of fact, I believe he joins only Barry Sanders as the only college running back to ever do that so that is pretty elite company. People will try and knock him because of the system but this is a 100 yards a game a week kind of guy in the NFL. He is your splash play kinda guy but somehow he has these 22" patriots. Built very solid. Jamaal Charles comparisons are a farce. He has a full ten years of great ball in him.

Melvin Gordon
Wisconsin

Height: 184 cm
Weight: 15.3 stone

Strengths: Flash, Dynamic, Elusive, Powerful, Build

Bio: I expect this player to reach the 2,000 yard plateau in his career. I expect this player to reach 10,000 career rushing yards. I expect this player to end up in Canton.


Player Comp: Terrell Davis, Running Back

#1 NFL Draft - Todd Gurley - RB - UGA

Todd Gurley is a pretty straight forward guy. He just flat out balls. An absolute beast and the kind of running back this league has been yearning for since the introduction of Adrian Peterson. There is nothing that Todd Gurley can't do. He has all the tools that you look for in a running back and I expect him to take the league by storm. Todd Gurley is the kind of back that takes over games. He has the ability to close out games and has the ability to explode for a touchdown every time he touches the ball. In the discussion for the greatest man on turf...

Todd Gurley
UGA

Height: 184 cm

Bio: The best running back to enter the league in a long time.

Player Comp: Adrian Peterson, Running Back

#4 NFL Draft - Breshad Perriman - WR - UCF

This guy has shot up the draft like a bottle rocket in July. And the kid can play. That's why. The first thing you notice about him is his last name and go, wait, I reckon I heard that name before. Like his dad, he is a pretty swaggy player. Unlike his dad, he drips swag...


Breshad Perriman
UCF


Height: 188 cm
Weight: 15.1 stone

Stengths: Playmaker, Size, Speed, Strength, Range, Vertical leap

Bio: Elite speed. As dangerous with the ball in the air as after the catch. Will take a slant to the house. Big, strong, athletic target who has great range. Presents problems downfield for opponents and is just as lethal in the red zone. He projects as a #2 WR from day one that could project into a #1 WR and be a dynamic player.

Player Comp: Julio Jones, Wide Receiver

Johnny Manziel STILL a BUST

Sorry, guys. Like his fellow comrades Jeremy Lin, Tim Tebow, and every other ESPN character driven into the ground, Johnny will find himself next in line on the Island of Misfit Toys. This is not where you wanna be. I applaud Johnny for cashing in on anything and everything he can get in the upcoming months, because, soon, like a disease, it will all be taken from him.

Johnny can't play in this league. I watch Johnny and it's just not good. For one, he has happy feet in the pocket. It didn't take a rocket scientist to play DE contain and not let him move out of the pocket in college. The LSU game I stressed this so, so, so, so, much. They have guys that consistently make it to the league and that can get upfield with speed. This is what you see in the NFL. Against shitty teams like Rice even if you play DE contain you have no push in the middle to get in his face and it can be Johnny Football Time all damn day. You have no LB's that can run and hunt you down. They have all these guys in the league.

Johnny wants to leave the pocket and when you watch him it's funny because he doesn't have the speed to run around NFL LB's and DE's so plays in college where he'd roll and run and make some ridiculous play, those are now replaced with happy feet, sheer panic, and fear. He by no means has a "live" arm so he can't even over time learn the nuances of the pocket and rely more on his arms than legs. He is a legs player and in this league a guy like him don't work.

See, a guy like Doug Flutie works and a guy like Johnny Manziel doesn't work. Johnny can talk passion, blah, competitive, blah, but he doesn't have heart. Flutie has heart. Flutie sticks his nose in the pocket and gets drilled. Manziel happy feets because he's thinking flush the pocket, but shit, these guys are too fast, so his feet are always moving, and it's hard to throw a ball with mustard on it when your feet aren't set. Isn't that a passion, competitive, heart play from a QB to look down the gun barrel and say I don't care? Flutie had agility that was off the charts for a QB and he was a magician out there....on ANY level he played. Jon was a magician in the undersized, speedy, SEC. Yes those FLA 6' 210LB LB's are safeties, not LB's. Very fitting for a guy like him an undersized, speedy guy.  I think a lot of Flutie's success came because he was so small, even smaller than Manziel, so, the chip on this guy's shoulder was like 100 pounds. I don't think Jon has that chip because he doesn't. He's Hollywood thinking he's a Primetime player when in reality he's just on Hollywood Squares. Sorry Jon..... I don't remember
