Those who say no to drafting Melvin Gordon are clueless on this guys talent. He will be the best running back in the NFL and as long as Rivera and Shula are around they'll want to run the ball.

Melvin Gordon is going to be as good as Jamal Charles. If already addressed the Tackle and WR spots in free agency it should be a no brainer to take Gordon if he's there.

 

I actually agree to an extent.  I know there's a whole low-value stigma attached to the position but Gordon and Abdullah are both top notch guys that IMO will elevate an offense for a lucky NFL team.

Give me Tevin Coleman. He put up similar numbers to Gordon with a much worse supporting cast around him. Indiana had to play a third string true freshman QB who struggled and teams would stack the box and Tevin would still have huge games even against Ohio State late in the season.

I assume you'd be referring to the Colts and Browns? In that case, they'd be agreeing with me. The won't take a running back BECAUSE OF TRENT RICHARDSON, right?

You just proved my statement again. Kind of ironic.

Anyways, Melvin Gordon will be an elite offensive player for years to come and anyone who wouldn't want that in the first round just because he's a running back is severely misinformed.

I'm referring to the two teams that will draft Gordon and Gurley in round 1 this upcoming draft.

I meant to quote the person arguing against drafting them.

Melvin Gordon is literally 3x better then Trent Richardson was in college. I gaurentee that you've never watched a Wisconsin game this year. The guy will be a perineal 1200 yard rusher and if you wouldn't want that at the 25th pick you're insane.

I'm just saying we get these "Peterson-level" guys every few years and sometimes they don't pan out. Richardson was even more highly touted, and was pretty much universally considered a top 5 guy. Comparatively Gordon is probably a mid-first talent.

These "sure things" sometimes don't work out. I don't know how Gordon will do, but we heard the same stuff about Richardson.

Either way, give me a late round RB over a first rounder. The talent drop just isn't as big as other, more important positions.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
