and they should take a flier on him because he caused turnovers in college? Would you if your job was on the line for that pick and you weren't an LSU fan?

The teams that are going to pick him aren't taking him in the first round so money isn't an issue. He will go in the 3-5 round and with his instincts on the football field he's a good gamble. If you told me I could get a pure playmaker with ability to play DB and ST (he was a great gunner and returner with very sure hands), who was a heisman finalist, in the 4th round, I would jump all over that pick. Pay him a minimal contract and force him to prove himself during that first contract. It would be a steal. It's the kind of move the Patriots make all the time.
