How early would you draft players with injury/character issues?

[yasuhara2241]

 

Just curious if you all were GMs for the Panthers where would you draft these prospects or would they even be on the board? Let's pretend you could trade up or back to get them. Where is the earliest you would get them?

 

Ross

Sidney Jones

Butt

Dalvin Cook

Dede Westbrook

Joe Mixon

Cam Robinson (Just added: Weed and gun possession. Thanks @top dawg)

Ross and Mixon, I'd take in the second round.

Jones in the third/fourth depending upon the board

 

Butt maybe in the fourth, but definitely by the fifth.

Cook would have to be taken by the fifth I'd think. Too much value!

For me, it's all about value. With character concerns, it's value plus risk-reward.

Edit: On second thought, Westbrook wouldn't be an option.

Relative to our picks...

Ross at 40 or a slight trade up.

Jones is a tough one. Maybe at 64, but an Achilles just scares me long term.

Cook- too low to get him. Comp pick or possibly 64 if desperate.

Butt- 5th

Mixon and Westbrook- don't want either to ever step foot near my team at any price.

it doesn't matter you're going to face the same scrutiny no matter where the player is taken.

Might as well take your guy where you have him ranked.

 You might want to add Cam Robinson. I don't think what he did screams bad character, but some do. If he was there in the second, I'd take him in a heartbeat. If he, Mixon or Ross were there, I'd still probably take Mixon, but it would be a tough decision.

 

[LinvilleGorge]

Ross - 2nd round

Sidney Jones - 6th round

Butt - 4th round

Dalvin Cook - nope

Westbrook - nope

Mixon - nope

Yeah Dalvin Cook is scrub do not want. He belongs in Cincy.

I'm just taking value into account. The lower they fall, the lower the risk to my pocketbook.

What did Cam Robinson do again? I know he was involved with something but it hasn't been as talked about as Mixon, Cook and Westbrook.

Got caught with some pot and a stolen gun in a car with another teammate.

I think that Robinson's and Mixon's character concerns are overblown. Unlike Westbrook and Cook, they don't have a history. I feel that that matters, and I feel that it should matter to everyone. But...we all have our lines in the sand.

Yup agreed

[Kakarot]

Would have to do a thorough investigation on all of them, but I'd have to spend a few days with Cook, Westbrook, and their friends & fam to really try to get a feel on them. Even with that, Westbrook would probably be off my board. With that being said:

Ross: Id run up to the podium in the 2nd to pick him.

Jones: 3rd

Butt:4th

Cook: 3rd

Mixon: Run up to the podium with my 2nd 2nd rd pick if he was available.

Westbrook: pass

It's a fine line that's for sure. Daryl Worley was drafted by us after being arrested for domestic violence and pleading no contest. Nobody really has given two shits about it since he was drafted. Now the same people who don't care about Worley would never draft players with a DV record. Personally, I would keep Robinson on the board and take off Cook, Mixon and Westbrook. I just don't want the scrutiny bc they are higher profile players and their situations would be talked about constantly.
