Yes, I've had a bad feeling about him all along. He's got all kinds of ability, but that means NOTHING if he's got that lazy/immature attitude, which he clearly does. I'm not even worried about the dirty plays; those things happen.

I just look at him and see a future bust. I just do, I'm sorry. And I don't think we'll take him because of that. He's EXTREMELY risky for a #1 pick and if you don't think that'll factor into the decision then you're crazy. How often have we taken players with characters concerns, work ethic issues, AND maturity issues this high?

Only one close would be Dwayne Jarrett in the 2nd round and he was MUCH less risky than Fairley as an overall prospect. I just don't see Hurney pulling the trigger on a guy with the many, MANY issues that Fairley has coming in.

Maybe if we were picking/considering him for a mid-1st rounder, but not 1st overall. I don't think so.

Look at the highlights vs LSU, Bama, and Oregon...three of the biggest games for us this year. He took over those games.

Most people remember Cam's highlights against LSU and his "heisman moment" play is usually said to have occurred during that game bc he had over 200 yds rushing and a few TD's. However, it was Fairley that won the player of the game. He was unstoppable like so many other games.

Y'all don't have to worry about what you're getting with Fairley...he's a BEAST!!

I'm not concerned with the highlights...I'm concerned with the "low-lights"...the times where he disappears, seems to give no effort on plays, gets beat by a single guard with a lot less skill.

And don't forget he gets caught up in the wash on run plays.

I watched several Auburn games this year. I thought it was pretty obvious that he had the talent but not the work ethic and drive. As soon as a play got away from him he just watched. Actually reminded me a lot of Haynesworth. But at least he waited till he got payed.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
