Dismissed from the University of Washington after an altercation with an assistant coach and other incidents. He's immensely talented considering he was considered to be a 1st round draft pick and has the desired size (listed as 6'0 193 pounds) to play CB in our system. Quote:In fact, NFL Media analyst Charles Davis said Thursday that Peters is on a level with Oregon star cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, echoing what we heard from a Pac-12 head coach earlier this season. If he were to fall in the draft, which would be somewhat expected, would you use a pick on him?

I don't like guys who fight with coaches. Harvin punched his wide receiver coach at UF, Billy Gonzales, and he made a lateral move to LSU after that. Harvin didn't change. These guys are headaches, I'd pass. I'm not saying Gene Smith's draft philosophy is the way to go, but I can draw the line somewhere. Fringe first rounder anyway, if he fell to the 4th, he's worh the risk. Personal opinion
He is clearly a moron. Not sure that is the type of guy you want on your team, no matter how good he is.
He was fairly widely viewed as the best corner in the draft, and a very possible top 10 pick. Really sucks for him.
If he drops to round 2. I'd take him there.

We won't ever know the answer to this, but you've got to see what he's like in person. Having an attitude is fine as long as he can respect his coaches and his teammates. If he can't control himself or if he's obviously just parroting agent-speak, you've got to pass no matter what round.

Although, I'd rather deal with an attitude than a really nice guy that does drugs. Easier to quell an attitude and unless it's extreme, a bad attitude isn't going to get someone suspended.
I'd risk a 3rd rounder on him. Sometimes the NFL experience can really humble a "trouble" player.
Or it can crash and burn like Blackmon
The Percy Harvin comparison is the best comparison you can make. If you can't keep your cool in college, you arent going to all the sudden "get it."

Could be a Tryan Mathieu case. Mathieu has shown that you can change. If this guy is around 3rd-4th .pull the trigger. If anyone can get someone to buy in, it's Gus. These are really tricky cases with players like this. So long in the physical talent,yet short in the mental talent.

Quote:I could be wrong but I thought Mathieu was just a pot head?He was a pot or spice head..but it's still mental. He was given three (?) Chances and still decided to throw it all away. That showed being undisciplined and a head case.

Quote:I could be wrong but I thought Mathieu was just a pot head? im pretty sure i remember him fighting with a teammate

the more i think about marcus peters....the more i think if he is there in rd 2 he shouldnt be passed up. there are a lot of guys that had attitudes like this that straightened out.... guys like brandon marshall, or the previously mentioned tyrann mathieu (who i personally thought was a no touch, lost cause)
