2. On the other side, the video is brutal. There aren't any two ways around it. No matter how comfortable a team is with the surrounding details and his personal regret, that video will play on a loop on any local station for the team that drafts him. On that level, he will be punished more than others who have done worse behind closed doors, but that's why there is so little room for personal error now. Almost everything will make it to the public, or at least players need to act as if that's the case.
I am not going to play moral judge on this because A) I don't know a thing about the kid since the incident and have no idea if this was isolated and B) no matter how much he might have been egged on with some terrible behaviour from her, he still cold-****ed a girl. I don't know how you weigh the behaviour in this day and age, and I am definitely not comfortable with it just being bumped down a round. You are either think the kid is a good kid who made a huge mistake, or it's too much trouble for a team. You can't say he's a 5th round talent, because it's just lying to your fans and justifying it by the cost out..
