2026 Draft: WR

If we could get 3-4 good years from AJ during Drake's Prime years a first would be acceptable. I just don't know what we are getting with him. I do believe part of his problem last year was due to motivation, he seems genuinely unhappy in Philly.
Vrabel, Josh and Maye agree,
 
So just a power tripping police officer then?

2 things can be true at once. When things like this happen I both assume bad judgement by the person and the officer didn't deescalate properly. Usually when dumb things like this happen a number of people screwed up.

Maybe.. But Pelisserio did everyone a disservice for failing to mention why the officer was there in the first place trying to get the sidewalks cleared.. Could be a legit reason.

For instance, in San Diego, they frown upon people standing on the boardwalk looking out at the ocean. They want you to go onto the beach if you're going to do that. One of the reasons is to allow people on Bikes, Skateboards, and roller blades to continue moving on the boardwalk with fewer obstacles. The Police there have been known to cite people for obstructing the sidewalk if they refuse to get moving.
 
I agree, but at the end of the day these guys are still kids.
I did dumb **** when I younger. Get a couple of drinks in ya and judgement fades.
He was probably drunk, doesn't seem like a serious crime.
I'm not condoning it. All prospects should be on house arrest leading up to the draft to avoid these situations, but again, he's young and it doesn't seem to be a very serious crime.
Might hurt his stock, might not.
The timing is really bad.

If he was drunk, they'd have cited him for public intoxication.
The only thing "serious" is that it speaks to Branch having problems with authority and, potentially, a bigger attitude problem.

It doesn't have to be serious to affect his draft stock.

You can be drunk in public and not be charged.
You're making a pretty big leap here.
He has a problem with authority because it took a couple of requests for him to move from a sidewalk?
