rugbyflank Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Rugby, as I stated, I have 4 people on that team that I know personally as well as the head coach. As you stated, he was a very good and humble team mate. He attnded class enough to keep the coaches off of hs back during football season. He was one and done at Tech from day one and the coaches knew it too. Agreed, everyone knew it was 1 and done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyflank Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 CTM.... I honestly think he had a reality check coming to TTU. I could be wrong but I think he has a better understanding of consequences of not keeping head clean. He had had it all taken away from him, unlike some others that don't realize till they get to NFL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volntitan Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Same old story from Da'rick. Wouldn't take him anywhere before late 3rd/4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyflank Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 VolnTitan...yep, 3rd or 4th would be the highest Id want the Titans to take him, but someone will still reach to get him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm all about drafting Rodgers if he falls to our 2nd -- makes a ton more sense to me than drafting Austin #10. Rodgers is a perfect replacement for Britt and would give us another redzone target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I do think its important that he was allowed to participate at UT's proday. After getting kicked out, it's a decent sign he's worked on changing. They could have prevented him being there, and likely would have, if some sort of amends hadnt been made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If I wanted to draft him, then I'd invite him in for a visit and ask him to take a piss test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volntitan Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 So you draft an talented WR with maturity issues and authority issues to replace a WR with maturity issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLocker10 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 So you draft an talented WR with maturity issues and authority issues to replace a WR with maturity issues? the genius logic of this MB 8-) some other people in a mock had us drafting four offensive players with our first four picks, nevermind the fact that our D this past season gave up the most points allowed in franchise history lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 So you draft an talented WR with maturity issues and authority issues to replace a WR with maturity issues? Yep. Because they are the exact same person with the exact same problems. Britt is a dominant receiver when healthy -- his injury problems are what make it impossible to give him a longterm contract, and even that is still a possibility. Rogers is the total package at WR and fits what we need outside. His off the field history makes him risky, but he has been a dominant player on the field and the risk isn't related to longterm durability or his skillset -- his hands, route running, etc, are all fantastic. Some people got pissed we drafted workout warrior CJ in the first after we drafted C Henry before him. Detroit drafted three top 10 WRs in a matter of years, and does anyone think it was a bad idea to grab Calvin Johnson? Cincy keeps grabbing problem-child LBs and has hit on some, missed on others. You evaluate the players individually and decide if they are worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 No one is suggesting taking him in the first round. He has first round talent though, unquestionably. On a pure talent/hws scale, he may be the best receiver in this draft. The question is, whether you believe he's truly a changed person. If not, stay away. If you think it's even anything better than 50/50, he's more than worth a 3rd round pick. I'd be comfortable drafting him in the second, but barely, and I have no qualms with anyone thinking that a 2nd is too early to take that risk. It's a valid opinion. Anything after that though - the value becomes ridiculous for what he could contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volntitan Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have less concern with his off the field issues as I have with his on the field issues. Disrespecting coaches openly is a hard habit to break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
