Very nice. Too bad the character issues will probably deter CSP

A prime example of a manufactured statement by an agent to hype up their client days before the draft.



Sounds good though!

Exactly. It has "agent's sales pitch" written all over it.

I can agree with this, but I still sounds awesome and if there is any truth to this at all he can be a steal if he drops due to off the field issues. I still don't think we'll take him though.

He's the most purely talented WR in this draft.

Its all about whats between the ears with him.

He was the #1 recruit coming out of high school. So he had potential but character issues played a bigger role than he did.

You would think so after the housecleaning drill this off season.

Gregory, DG-B, and M. Peters all have talent but that talent comes with red flags. If you're going to take a risk with any of them, I'd pick Gregory because I think R. Ryan could handle that situation. I can't imagine what would happen if we draft Peters and he throws a temper tantrum with Ryan....that would be special!

If he falls out of the first round he would be high on my radar. I wouldn't use one of the first rounders on him tho.

Maybe, but we definitely aren't writing off every prospect with red flags. It's up to Payton and Loomis to determine if the red flags are things of the past, or if they expect them to continue into the future. In regards to Gregory, Peters, or DGB, if they believe that they are things of the past, then these guys can most likely be had a huge value in comparison to their talents.

I would be ok with him as a first rounder but would rather him at 44, definitely think we should take a chance on this guy his issues arent really that bad

wouldn't mind at 31. I say all the red flag issue guys are determined one on one personally. We'll never know guys that are completely Xed off or how much they are downgraded on the big board. Randy Moss was similar. Widely considered Top 3 talent but fell to 21 over off field red flags. The flags had some validity as his career showed. He did also finish with 982 catches and 156 TDs.

With the year out of football I wouldn't chance it on a first. At 44 or if they move up a few spots to take him once he slips, then i would be all about it.

I want as close to guaranteed starters at 13 & 31 as possible.

If he is there at 44, they would be fools not to take him, even with the in-house cleaning. Colston isn't getting any younger and you need that big target this day and age

Did the saints ever talk w/ DGB? I'd love to see us draft him, but I don't see that happening if not

Also consider how bad OU's defense is.

They gave up over 30 points per game in their final 10 games.

I'd take him at 31. I think we can get a good LB at 44 and the then another in the third.
