Definitely too good of a potential upside to pass up in the 7th round.

From what I understand, he played some good press man coverage at times, and was a physical presence right off the line opposite Prince Amukamara while at Nebraska.

Hopefully the legal battle does not amount to much, and he can provide us with some strong play over the next 4 yrs.

Bowl game with coaches that don't know his strengths. Didn't play him a lot man to man.


I don't think thats a huge concern.

Sciz

And don't most offseason bowls also have a no-press rule?

I would hope that he doesn't as he wasn't in the NFL when it happened!

Not that I condone this, nor do I have any detail on this particular incident, but a typical scenario for assaulting a police officer in a bar room fight is this:

Fight breaks out, lots of commotion, fists flying, a police officer tries to break it up and gets bumped into (or elbowed) during the commotion. Police officer pissed off and claims he was intentionally punched in the face.

Obviously it was a bad decision (especially days before the draft), but for now I'm going to cut the kid a break. I;m sure the front office did some additional homework.

Well, if BB drafted him, he must know more than us about this case. My kool-aid drinking butt is going to believe that Fonzie will be just fine for the start of the season. As someone pointed out, he cant be suspended. The assault happened before he was in the NFL,,,,or could he be? Anyone know of any cases prior to now?

I think the commisioner will consult his magic 8 ball.


Lets just wait and see what it says.

Terrelle Pryor was suspended for a number of games for stuff he did at OSU. . . .

I think Dennard & Ellis are different circumstances tho CT.....



"Critics suggest this is another example of a professional sports league engaging in a little quid pro quo with the allegedly amateur organization that provides it with talent. Goodell's decision to "honor" Pryor's five-game Ohio State suspension by transferring it to the NFL is eerily similar to the NBA/NCAA collusion on NBA age limits."

It looks like Pryor was trying to weasel out of an OSU suspension by going into the supplemental draft.

Dennard and Ellis had no such suspensions prior to their altercations ..at least that I know of.

Denard is worth the pick and the money even if he is available for only half of the 2012 season. It is not unusual for a rookie defensive back to be inactive almost all year, except for special team play or emergency duty late in the year.

We signed a play with 2nd round talent. We paid a lot less and the player may potentially lose some playing time if he were active). I think that we received solid value for what we spent.
