Running back Melvin Gordon has been selected 15th over all by the San Diego Chargers in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft
The NFL draft has been running for a few hours now and fans have been voicing their opinions online since the very first pick. Jameis Winston getting picked first didn’t shock anyone but that didn’t stop people taking to twitter to make their jokes.
The draft always excites, even when it’s predictable which it has been tonight. There have been few shocks tonight other than Danny Shelton picking up the NFL commissioner in his celebration. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we were all kinda hoping it was going to turn in to a wrestling move, sadly it didn’t and the commissioner is still being boo’d at every entrance.
Melvin Gordon being selected by the Chargers didn’t exactly shock anyone but most fans seem to be pleased with the announcement. He’s a great runner and should be able to really add to the Chargers offense.
Here’s how people reacted on twitter to Melvin Gordon being selected 15th overall in the 2015 NFL draft first round:
Bolts drafted Melvin Gordon. Sweet. Gonna be a great runner. #Chargers

So True!! "@mortreport Todd Gurley to Rams and Melvin Gordon to Chargers. Two RBs that could be playing in Los Angeles in near future.”

Todd Gurley & Melvin Gordon will both be very fun to watch. Both very dynamic runners. Should be big players quickly
