Ok. In 5 years, when it's legal for the US AND NFL. I will draft him.

Seriously? We already have one of those and they are not putting him at OLB. I don't see them drafting a lighter Dion Jordan and trying to figure out what to do with him. We don't run a 4-3 under defense like Seattle.
And Dion Jordan was the 3-5th overall best talent in 2013...monster, freak, etc. with limited production.

Unfortunately we have enough needs it won't matter. There will be guys there in a position of need who are worthy AND can contribute on a full time basis.

Yes...just like Dion. Gregory is not even on the top 40 list in sacks. Where is the production? He is another projection as a 4-3 DE. 238 lbs spells 3-4 OLB.

4th best WR? me either. Actually, Arik Armstead is rated higher than every DT not named Shelton by most scouts. Guard is a different story. Especially when he can play tackle... Maybe even beat James out for the job and push him inside. You want to get an accurate look at Tannehill? Give him a legit shot to turn the corner....fix the line and stop messing around with 3rd round draft picks. Want to see Lamar Miller rush for 1500 and 10? Fix the line.

Not smart enough to pass it....hundreds NFL players do it every year. Even Aaron Hernandez was smart enough to pass it.

Is he out of jail?
Different time....different era.
Your using future "might be" and "what if" reasoning for drafting a "tweener" today. Pot is not legal. You do get suspended for it. He already starts ON PROBATION. That means more drug tests than just once a year.
What is it with you and drafting guys with issues? LOL First it was Gurley and now Gregory? If we were already a playoff team with only a few holes and a slew of draft picks I may consider a gamble here and there. Everyone wants the sexy picks.
When you can methodically fix the issues and dynamically change the team by addressing needs, I think you have to do it.
CB, WR and LG are immediate NEEDS. Everything else is a "want". We don't fill those needs and we are screwed. We stay the same and stay 8-8. We are not screwed without a projected DE. Dion Jordan has as much chance to make an impact as Gregory in 2015. We are already locked into him with no shot of trade or release due to the 1st round contract. Why make that commitment for his twin brother for the next 4 years?
Only one way to tell and that's when the season starts. I'm banking on a dominant LG/RT to give us a complete and top 5 line.
Trade down is the move in this scenario.
1 OT
2 WR
3 CB
