Kind of feel he might drop farther....

 

Agreed. 

 

My concern with him is if you read scouting reports, one of the knocks on him is that he doesn't take coaching well.  I don't know if even the great Jerry Sullivan could fix that.  For all of his measurables, the fact that he's had issues that have kept him out of the game, and because he's so raw, I don't see him as our pick at 36.  If he falls to say later in the 3rd round, then he's possibly worth a flyer if we've addressed other issues like RB.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

"He couldn't keep himself out of trouble, had no structure growing up and didn't take coaching at Missouri." -- NFC director of personnel

 

"We had him in for a visit and put him on the board and he was completely lost. Whoever takes him better have a plan for him because it could be rough early on." -- AFC offensive coordinator

 

A guy with behavior issues & doesn't like to be coached.  Pass.

You pass until he's still on the board on day 3.  Then you start to look his way.  I read the scouting reports that are out there, and he's definitely a project, but maybe having Jerry Sullivan coaching him would make a difference?  No telling.  I don't think he's worth the risk with our 2nd or 3rd round picks though. Like I said above, if he starts to slide to the back of the 3rd round, maybe we think about it, but otherwise let someone else deal with that headache.

I believe that was never taken further? Just allegations? unless the U.S. judicial system is different to the UK one I believed it's innocent till proven guilty as opposed to the other way round.

See Greg Hardy or Ben Roethlisberger for how the NFL feels about "hard evidence."


Just because it can't be proved in a courtroom doesn't mean nothing happened. The guy shouldn't have even been in an environment with the potential for that situation to develop, and that's what scares me off. Jameis Winston, this guy; these kids that have put themselves in position to fail have also shown the propensity to become repeat offenders. Justin Blackmon is another good example.


Maybe he didn't shove a woman down the stairs, but he shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. Giving him a bunch of money isn't going to alleviate the concern that he sets himself up for failure. Hell no to DBG (yes, it's DBG) in the 2nd round. Too risky.
