I get the lips and the cash symbols, but just how many Johns does a high price cookie seller need to kill to earn the skull and crossbones?
Tallahassee just out here doing Tallahassee-like stuff, covering up crimes, domestic issues, and all sorts of things. Not surprising in the least. UF earned its rap sheet while Urban was in town, but they've at least improved in changing the scene there. FSU? Keeping steady. Stay classy, Tallahassee.
It's mind boggling that we live in a time where social media and investigative journalism has everyone up everyone's ass with a camera but this kid of thing still gets swept under the rug. It goes to show just how far down the rabbit hole this culture of covering for player at F.S.U. goes.
Oh, man. I don't think anyone knows quite how far down it goes. Unrelated students covering for their star athletes, local business owners and police knowing how to handle certain scenarios, players having been told by staff and previous players what they can get away with... I've got friends who went there, friends who teach there, former students who went there, former students who played football there... The stories are usually all the same. FSU is one of the best at letting players do what they want. Now, that's not excusing other schools out there - they all do it to a degree. But man, Tallahassee is well-run.
I'd watch out for Jarrett Stidham as a riser on the QB list... I like the WR list, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Harmon, Samuel, Ridley or Campbell jumped up into contention depending on the Combine results.
I'm thinking there will be a pretty wide shift in some of these rankings once the combine hits, but it's the run up after that has analysts scrambling to get closer to the general consensus so they are not going too far out on a limb. Especially the ones that have a larger audience. That way they can always go back to "hell, I didn't really miss on that guy, everybody loved that guy!", or "I wasn't the only one that thought he was a sure thing, everybody else thought he was a sure thing too!".
Definitely considered one of the biggest risers thanks to senior bowl week, Deebo Samuel. Haven’t personally scouted him yet (decided I’m doing WR/RB last this year). But he did look good from what little I’ve seen of him
A shitty injury to have for a speed based player, and his combine definitely would have moved the needle for him one way or the other.
This is a tough one. I really thought he and Paris Campbell would be neck and neck for that team out there looking for a burner with high potential. This might move Campbell to a first round lock.... And could also potentially give another team a future bargain as I think this injury will move him into 3rd day possibility. IF he doesn't let this heal properly, it could be a lingering issue..if he gets the right doctors, and maybe more importantly physical therapist, and follows the program to a T, he could be up to speed just about the time the season starts.
Just curious, if the Cardinals really are interested in Kyler Murray and ultimately decide to take the QB #1 overall, what kind of draft currency could Josh Rosen bring after 13 starts in the NFL? Personally, I don't think he lived up to his #10 overall pick. That said, I am sure there would be a team out there that might want to give up a high draft pick to take their chances at a potential future franchise signal caller... Who and at what position in the draft would you guys think he could land?
I think both the Broncos and Dolphins would probably have high interest and you can't rule out the Jags. The Bengals might be interested but I think Zac is going to look at a mobile quarterback to be the cornerstone of his franchise. Josh has traits that need developed and in the right environment he can be a franchise passer. If someone were to leapfrog the Giants and take Haskins, I think they would probably consider going after him as well. Kingsbury and the Arizona ownership have already gone on record stating they have no intentions of drafting Murray, and I honestly believe they don't. I still think there is a high probability that they sell that pick to the highest bidder and look to add to the line in front of Josh early and more than once in this draft.
I agree... the rumor that I heard today is most likely a reason to get other teams talking about that #1 pick. If you want to know which teams are willing to part with a top draft pick because they are in need of a QB, dangle your current guy to see interest. Once the conversations start flowing, the teams looking for a guy will start feeling more comfortable giving up picks to move up to get their perceived best draft prospect. I will be interested to see just how much these prospects are valued in this draft. The Cardinals may not be enamored with the first overall pick, but they also may not be able to get enough for it to sell it.
There is no way that the cardinals should be giving up on Rosen. Their oline was a piece of crap and Rosen was under constant pressure.
It may not be as much about giving up on Rosen as it is a new coaching system and there being another QB that fits that system much better..and the fact they could most likely recoup their pick used on Rosen. It's a do-over, with an ability to get another piece as well as that QB that may fit the system better. I was not high on Rosen to begin with. If I'm being honest, I would replace him RIGHT NOW with Dwayne Haskins as a typical QB prospect, but if they are really that high on the potential of Murray, then I would also explore that option if I were them. Here's the thing, you NEEDED a QB. Your scouting department may or may not have had Rosen near the top of the list. What we do know is that there were 3 QBs taken before they were able to draft Rosen. He might have been their top choice, or they might have gotten desperate seeing 3 others go off the board, we will never know. But, with the #1 overall pick, they have a chance at a do-over if it was done out of desperation.
