Former Baylor WR Josh Gordon strongly figures to be the only player selected of eight that have been granted eligibility in Thursday’s supplemental draft. PFW surveyed a handful of NFL executives to gauge what round he will be plucked. Several said they would not touch Gordon at all because of considerable character concerns.

“He would be off our draft board if it were a normal draft in the spring,” one executive said, citing the documented suspension at Baylor related to multiple positive drug tests and off-field concerns dating back to high school. One GM noted that he did not consider Gordon to be an inherently "bad" kid but was troubled by the way his "history has (had) a way of repeating."

Two other GMs said they would not consider Gordon until the fourth round. Despite possessing elite athletic ability, big, very natural hands and prototype size (6-3 1/8, 224), Gordon is still raw as a route runner, having run a very limited route tree at Baylor. He needs considerable work on his release and has yet to adopt a professional work ethic. However, he showed he could be a big-play, vertical receiver in 2010, playing faster on the field than his low 4.5-timed speeds and remains an intriguing wild card if he passes the top three rounds.

“If you have a strong veteran receiver who can take him under his wing, you could think about it in the third,” one evaluator said. “He already missed all of OTAs and minicamps and is going to need time to figure it out conceptually.”

He has not played football for two years, having struggled to transition after transferring to Utah in 2011 and not qualifying academically at Houston in 2012.
