The NFP's Greg Gabriel on Gregory:

I kind of agree with this. A good prospect with a lot of upside, but not someone I see as a top 5 pick.
Overall, Gregory is a bit of a tweener. He is not quite big enough to play as a 4-3 end in the NFL and lacks experience in pass coverage to play as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He has the frame to easily carry 255-260 and if he can get there, the 4-3 teams will have more interest.
Gregory is easily athletic enough to play in coverage, but he just needs the experience. If he decides to come out, he is a player who will generate a lot of interest. Pass rushers are always rated high and that’s what Gregory does best. I can easily see him going to a 3-4 team where his chance of playing right away is probably greater than if he went to a 4-3 team. He will need some time to get bigger and stronger to become a regular in a 4-3, but will be used as a pass rushing specialist while he gets bigger and stronger. I can see him being drafted in the first round and if he comes to the Combine at 255+ pounds, he may go in the top half of the first round. A very interesting prospect, but there are definitely some question marks.
