THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: What if Branden Oliver and Melvin Gordon switched situations?

How would San Diego Chargers fans view Branden Oliver if he were a 1st round pick? How might they think differently about Melvin Gordon if he were an undrafted free agent?

About a year ago, I stated a few times that I thought Branden Oliver was good enough to be the starting Running Back for the San Diego Chargers. Even after the team traded 4th & 5th round picks to move up in the 1st round and select Melvin Gordon out of Wisconsin, I said that I thought Gordon should be brought in on a rotation instead of anointed as the starting RB on day 1.
