If Randy Gregory is available at # 25 ....

If hes there at 25, he will be taken by DG.  I guarantee you that.  

[Mr. Scot]

He's not going to be DE in NFL.

 

He's light for a 3-4 OLB too though.

[WOW!!]

He's not going to be DE in NFL.

He also isn't a 4-3 outside LB..

Totally different job than what he did in college. .

[LinvilleGorge]

He's not going to be DE in NFL.

 

I understand that, but he's a pass rushing specialist.  He can't play DE in a 4-3 and he's too light to play OLB in the 3-4 too.  Pass rushers in the NFL are 250+ almost across the board.  Where are you going to play a pass rushing specialist who is too light to consistently rush the passer in the NFL?

 

I think he's just one of those guys who is a really good college player, but lacks an NFL position.

If we're drafting kids with trouble, I would rather draft DGB.

[Ja Rhule]

Jason Taylor 6'6 240lbs Hall of Fame bound.

Was considered too small for NFL.

Go on...

No way. Undersized and can't lay off the weed. It's been more than once and when you can't quit for the biggest interview process of your life then yeah you might have a problem

If we were the Raiders, Jags, or Cowboys I'd say bah too. But if there is one team in the NFL with a slew of high character guys who could mold this young man it would be us. TD, Peanut, Luke, Harper, Star, Ginn, etc. Still a tough call though.

same with DGB

Was more of a OLB.

You can always find a couple of exceptions if you dig back into history.  All I'm saying is that in the current NFL, there are no elite pass rushers under 250 pounds. 

 

Taylor played at a listed weight of 244.  Word is that Gregory struggles to keep his weight north of 230.  That's a fairly significant difference.

 

One thing that guys who break the mold in terms of performing despite lacking ideal measurables usually have in common is that they do all the right things.  They work their ass off and they're usually very good technicians.  Does that sound like Randy Gregory?

He's not even that big (link)

 

Keep in mind that this is the same Randy Gregory that reportedly dipped below 220 pounds at times while at Nebraska.

Never draft a player who fails the drug test at the combine.....it's not so much as drug test as it is a stupidity test.

A lot of truth to that.  You KNOW you're going to be drug tested at the Combine.  It's not a surprise and I'm sure these kids' agents are constantly reminding them of that fact too.

He's got plenty of room to add weight on his frame without losing explosiveness. There might be other concerns but I wouldn't let weight be the reason I didn't draft him at 25.  Wouldn't be hard for the team's trainers to help him bulk up if he's motivated. The motivation is what I would worry about.
