Not saying it's a reason. My reasons are that he's a dirty, immature, out of shape man-child who has bust practically stamped on his forehead. This is more a joke than anything.

immature, out of shape? Where did you get this from?

Have you even read any of his scouting reports? Imagine Julius Peppers, only not nearly as athletic and lazy. That's Fairley; he won't make it in the NFL. I just hope we aren't stupid enough to take a chance on him because DT is our "biggest need."

Our biggest need is to NOT miss on this 1st overall draft pick.

Some are worried about whether Fairley is a one-year wonder given the gigantic leap he took from 2009 to 2010. His reportedly questionable work ethic is reason for pause, as well, especially at a position that requires a nonstop motor. Also, while NFL coaches will surely appreciate his passion, Fairley's quick temper and penchant for undisciplined penalties will need to be reined in by whoever coaches him.

In 2010, Fairley worked hard in his first year as a full-time starter. But some question his effort on a play-to-play basis and his ability to stack and shed blocks. MTD readers don't seem to think he should be Carolina's choice with the first overall pick in the draft.

The biggest question mark about Fairley is his character, though. He has a propensity to take dumb penalties and has gained a reputation as a dirty player. With Roger Goodell dishing out fines like Rajon Rondo dishes out assists, Fairley will need to clean up his act on the field to avoid fines and possibly a suspension.

There are also some questions about his work ethic and if he is serious about being the no. 1 pick, he's going to need to show up to his pro day in great shape.

Unlike Newton, Fairley can step in next season and make an instant impact for whoever drafts him. His talents are undeniable. Whether or not he ends up making it in the league will come down to him. Fairley should be a Pro Bowler for the next decade if he works hard enough and doesn't get caught up with off-field issues.

There have been plenty of players as talented as Fairley failing in the NFL because of their lacking work ethic. If he takes the NFL for granted and thinks that he can just show up and dominate, his career will be a disappointment.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
