According toย Evan Silva of Pro Football Talk, a source mentioned that at least one NFC team has a third-round grade on Baylor WR WR Josh Gordon, who will be available in next weeks Supplemental Draft.

In fact, the source added that there were people at Baylor that saw Gordon as a better prospect than Kendall Wright, who was taken in the first-round of this year’s draft by the Tennessee Titans.

Gordon appears to be a pretty serious prospect that could go as early as the second-round. He possesses both good size and overall speed, so I’m sure team’s that could use some additional talent at the receiver position will strongly consider placing a middle-round bid on him.
