I have three prominent players dropping out of the 1st<\/sup> round, EDGE Mike Green, S Malachi Starks and QB Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n

Green has two separate Sexual Assaults on his record.\u00a0 There was an unsubstantiated report that Green received no 30 Visits by any team in the league.\u00a0 That tells me that he is off a lot of team\u2019s draft boards altogether and will only be picked at a much later round than his talent would dictate.\u00a0 When can a team tolerate the side show that will be brought up by the media before they select him?\u00a0 It may have to be a special team that can handle Green and surround him with veteran players that ultimately make him one of theirs.<\/p>\n

Starks had less than stellar final season at Georgia coupled with his poor performance at the combine has dropped him out of the first round.<\/p>\n

Sanders and the circus that surrounds him and his father, interviewed very poorly according to reports, turning off a number of teams.\u00a0 Questions have arisen whether he can handle the mental aspect of the Pro game and not just rely on his athleticism.\u00a0 He still might get picked in the 1st<\/sup> round especially if some team may want to get ahead of their competition and jump back into the 1st<\/sup> round to get that extra year on his contract.\u00a0 I\u2019m not so sure that Sanders would honor that contract and hold out to void the last year and get paid earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
