2015 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Combine Edition

Wisconsin. Melvin Gordon. 23. player. 50. The Lions snag the first running back of the round. The two-back committee of Reggie Bush and Joique Bell was only marginally successful last year, so Wisconsin’s next great running back becomes a Detroit Lion. During the combine Gordon looked sharp, maintaining balance during cuts and showing excellent speed. <p>One concern for Gordon is that he had the benefit of operating behind a stellar offensive line in Madison. Other Badger backs, like the Broncos’ Montee Ball, have struggled finding consistent running room after having gaping holes to run through in college. If the Lions choose not to go with a running back, they may go with a defensive tackle in anticipation of a potential Ndamukong Suh departure.</p>. RB
