Even if they only draft character guys, he's a superior talent, at a position of possible need (kind of), who fell because he was taken advantage of. Some team will be smart enough to recognize the value in that. My take is it'll be before the Texans pick.
Thanks for the heads up, guys. I can understand why he's dropping... NFL teams don't seem to mess around too much anymore.
Truly bizarre stuff.... social media has some influence, but this is taking it to another level. Its like social media terrorism! Anyways, guys have carved out great careers and been given 2nd/3rd chances for far less offenses.... teams just don't want to deal with the excess exposure right now.
If he's there at 18 and the Colts don't take him, their GM should be taken out back and shot. Remember what happened to La'el Collins last year. He was a first round pick that dropped completely out of the draft for something that would have been no big deal if it had been revealed a week earlier, but teams are so incapable of managing risk on new last second information.

Dumb dumb dumb. It's okay to employ a killer. It's apparently not okay to employ anyone who was caught on camera doing something illegal. I'm talking about Ray Rice, here.
Apparently video was from not any time recent... passed all drug tests in college as well as during draft workouts. Kinda feel for him... tears in the green room.

It would be interesting for sure, McNair is finally getting impatient but the Texans are so corporate
Yeah, I feel awful for him. Although some good team is going to take major advantage of that. Or the Lions will.
