Melvin Gordon is worth taking at the 26th overall pick

Draftbreakdown.com allows me to go in depth into one of the most polarizing players in this class, Melvin Gordon.

Since Peter King's MMQB report, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon has been heavily scrutinized by Ravens fans. Some have stated he wouldn't be a fit in the offense. I beg to differ. Gordon offers everything you want in a running back.

Most people will understandbly point to his game against Nebraska as his best game. But I found his game against Minnesota to be much more impressive. Going up against stacked nine- and 10-man boxes, with the cornebacks staring right at him, Gordon churned out 151 yards on 29 carries.
