50. <p>Nkemdiche’s fall ends here. Recent events – falling out of the fourth story window at an Atlanta hotel and being charged with marijuana possession – led him to slip in the draft, but we won’t see a Randy Gregory-like drop here. At least not yet. This event has happened within a decent amount of time from the draft, so Robert can explain himself and teams can get all the necessary information needed to make a wise decision with him.</p> <p>On the field, Nkemdiche is a dominating presence on the inside of the defensive line and can take over a game by disrupting both the passer and runners. Motivation is sometimes an issue, but the lineman’s freakish athleticism outweighs any concerns.</p> <p>Detroit went from fielding one of the best defensive lines in the country to being gutted in the blink of an eye last offseason. With Nkemdiche, the Lions now have a new bit of nasty down in the trenches ready to make life hell for Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler and Teddy Bridgewater.</p>. DL. Ole Miss. Robert Nkemdiche. 7. player
