Still want him?

I think he is one of those cancer types. The DUI doesn't bother me as much as when he was caught out drinking last year until 4 in the morning a couple days before a game and the night before practice. Football is not a priority.

act like u haven't ever done the same thing on a weekday in your entire life...

Not saying I want him... Let's just calm it down on the judging from afar

People who drink and drive KILL innocent people. Do not try to justify it by applying the fact that you have done it before. If you lost a child or wife or parent to a drunk driver, I doubt your attitude would be so casual.

I don't want Braylon Edwards because he can't catch.

And if we get Braylon, I do not think you would have to worry about Smitty liking him. It would be because Steve Smith is on another team.

After the Jarrett mess, I do not see BE in panther blue.

If you can't judge someone based on getting arrested, then when can you judge them? This isn't his first time getting in trouble. We aren't talking about someone that gets paid minimum wage and is a server at a restaurant. This is a pro athlete that gets paid millions of dollars and is fortunate enough to play a sport that 99.9% of the people in the US would give their left arm to play. So yes, I have a problem when people get paid millions and don't act like professionals.

Obviously his record is something that should be in consideration. To my knowledge though, he's avoided legal problems for near a year now. It's something I'll leave up to the FO to judge. If they believe he's changed, no problem for me.

As for dropping balls, he only had four this year. And had the 12th lowest drop percentage in the entire league.

I doubt he will see anymore legal ramifications, and its highly unlikely he will be suspended imo. With that said I still wouldn't have him on my board as a top option, but I would absolutely have him under serious consideration, given his past success in the system.

As far as the DWI stuff. Drunk driving is a serious problem. And a lot of people do it. I think it's better to judge the problem than the people. Braylon "can" be reckless and immature, he has proven that. But there is still that possibility that he's grown up some and surrounded himself with better people to get his career back on track.

I got a DUI, and it's no joke. I got it less than a month after I turned 21. I dont think it should necessarily prevent someone from being considered though. His apparent lack of passion for the game is a bigger concern IMO.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
