    He has the talent, but does he have the personal willpower to give up the drugs?

    He lost a lot of upfront money in the draft because of this. If that does not get his attention then I doubt it. But .... other guys have done it so it is at least possible.

    You don't think some of the most visible players in the NFL smoke pot?
    I would wager over 25% of the players use.
    They know how to mask it if they give a ****.
    Some, like Ricky, just decide they don't give a ****.

    No problems with a person following their own way, but rules are rules. If you want to play you have to play by the rules.

    Even if he only gets paid $2 million a year?

    Even if he gets paid $20 million a year. Of course by the 3rd strike he should have quite a nest egg (but probably will have squandered that).

    If he signs, you won't be able to get the smile of Sonjay's face for years. A new exotic car every three months

    He should have a picture of Randy Gregory in his wallet to remind him of how to lose a career because you can't give up the weed.

    Mel Kiper on former Longhorn Derick Roberson --

    The transfer from Texas is really fun to watch, and he has risen from an undraftable grade all the way up to consideration for Day 2. After a five-sack 2017 season, Roberson already has 13.5 sacks and five forced fumbles this season, including five straight games with at least 1.5 sacks. He tore apart Incarnate Word on Saturday, with two sacks, a forced fumble, two pass breakups and six total tackles. Roberson is going to be an intriguing prospect when more scouts get a closer look at his 6-foot-4, 250-pound frame at all-star games in January. He has been no match for FCS offensive tackles.

    I was sad when he bolted, but he didn't have much of a choice, from what I hear.

    Kris Boyd is currently projected to go in the top 3 rounds of the draft.
    Depending upon what happens with PJ Locke and Davonte Davis, it is possible that Charlie's entire 2015 DB class will be on NFL rosters in 2019.

    11 or 12 might see time on an NFL roster.

    I think Chas O might be wiggling himself into late 1st round territory

    Not even close. Middle round at best. Boyd too.

    Why is it these guys are always idiots unless they project a longhon really high?

    Boyd will probably go before Omenihu because of the value of outside CBs versus fairly generic DEs. Unless you're drafting JJ Watt or Clowney or someone like that, there's no need to spend an early round pick on a guy who's only going to be in there for 1/4 to 1/2 of snaps. Taco Charlton probably compared favorably to how Omenihu is seen by draft experts today, and he still hasn't made much of an impact.

    Corners are always needed. Everyone is playing nickel as a base defense, and guys who have good cover skills are high in demand. Boyd is physical, too, so if I'm a GM, I don't think his downside (not looking at the ball every snap and speed is kind of average) is that big a problem once he gets some more one-on-one time with the coaches and vets.

    Call me crazy, but Nelson can play NG and that's a huge position of need for many teams. I'd definitely take a flyer on him, seeing as how Poona is getting some nice reps now.

    I have posted before that Boyd is a project. The talent and tools are there, he has to be developed and taught to read and not bite. Boyd will either be really good in year 3 or 4 or be selling cars in year 2-3

    Blocking him with a TE is a dubious strategy

    From Dukesteer’s official, free (and worth every penny of it) NFL draft prognostication service:

    Boyd - Late 1 or early 2. Cornerbacks are always a hot commodity and what Boyd lacks in developed coverage skills he makes up for in attitude, toughness and tackling ability.

    Omenihu - Early 2. He’s like Okafor to me. He’ll have a good career.

    Johnson - 2. Speed kills.

    LJH - 2 - His size, strength and good hands will be just too much to risk missing in Round 2.

    Anderson - 3 or 4. There’s always a demand for good OLs.

    Nelson - 5

    Hager and the others go undrafted but Hager makes a team, Seattle.

    Football doesn't last forever. The weed will always be there. I hope he can stay away from it and have a great career. If not, what's the o/u that he'll be flat broke within 5 years after his career ends?

    or five months? Guys like that have an entourage of ne'er do wells and hardcore trash to help with their "spending".

    Little optimistic. I think Boyd is probably the closest to a 2 but near the end of it. Omenihu is a 3 at best. Humphrey as well. Johnson probably won't get drafted because he's a tweener. Anderson didn't grade out well so he's also an UFA. I agree that Nelson gets a flyer in a later round.
