Green-Beckham makes Josh Gordon look responsible. I wouldn't count on him being on our board at all.

[rodeo]

It would be a big risk, but if he is isolated from his pals back home and Proehl and Olsen take him under their wing he could be a huge steal.

[Bj-Monster23]

I don't think DG is going to go down that path. I can definitely see Donovan Smith with a chance to land here in Carolina but I doubt Dorial Green Beckham gets drafted here.

I don't see this team drafting a player with as many legal and ethical issues as DGB.

That's pretty high for the Utah tackle too, I can see donovan smith though. The author also said he could have slid jaelen strong into our first round pick which is a much more realistic option

[Goondal]

The University of Utah has treated us well over the years.  If we go this route then hopefully that trend continues.

He has the most pure talent as a receiver in the draft.  He spent a whole season at OU riding the pine and on the Scout Team and didn't get into trouble once.  Please don't compare him to a complete moron like Josh Gordon.  

[electro's horse]

DGB loves drugs and hurting women.

No thanks.

[nctarheel0619]

Yeahhhhh... no.

After what transpired with Hardy, DGB has no chance if being drafted by us (much less get a first round grade).

 

He'll get drafted by someone in the first round, and he'll ball out for them and be a damn beast for years.

Let's not make him someone that he isn't, and that is worse than Josh Gordon. Quite the exaggeration here. If anything DGB is headed on a similar path, but he is so young, his story is just starting to be written. It is not like he stole a laptop or threw anyone on a bed full of guns (just a joke for those sensitive types.)

 

He smoked marijuana; a substance that I guarantee most on this forum have tried at least once in their life if not more.

 

He just got caught...and was in the wrong state.

 

That is all any of us know. We can assume he has a problem and that he is a bad person like the media does, or we can try not to further tarnish the namesake of a person that very well may be doing all he can to seek the help he needs.

 

Would I draft him? The talent is insane. Closest thing to Calvin Johnson that has come out since the man himself. On the other hand, 1st round guaranteed money would be hard to do.

 

I think the Panthers will pass...especially since they sat a man for an entire season for a crime that he MAY HAVE committed.

 

In my opinion though, Hardy should have played until found guilty by jury, and the Panthers would be stupid to completely write off DGB without a second thought. Schedule multiple workouts and dinners/interviews and decide face to face if this is a guy they should take a gamble on.

 

Biggest boom/ bust player in the draft...but sometimes you have to take risks. Only Gett, Rivera, and Rich can will be able to get close enough to this guy to see if he is worth it.

 

So...would I do it? If I was in a position to talk with the young man, and I see he has taken sincere steps to distance himself from that past.......Hell yes I draft him. Worth the risk to me.

[Growl]

Poo-tasi?

[nctarheel0619]

No one is that desperate. If his former coaches are calling him a moron, then what makes you believe he'll pass the combine tests? Come on man...

I don't recall anyone at OU calling him a moron this past year.  Stoops (a way more reputable coach than Missouri's) came out and said nothing but good things about DGB.  Anyway, moron or not AJ Green got a 7 on the Wonderlic and KB got a 5 I think or lower.  He'll be a first round pick, wayyyyyy too much talent not to be.

This guy has so many disturbing character and legal issues that he will probably be entirely off our draft board.
