Do we burn a mid to late rounder on Ahmad Brooks?

I attend UVa and have seen Brooks at his best, and worst. His worst was last season because he was out of shape, and a bit injured. He is a sick athelte, only prob is the substance abuse. As for the Skins, the risk isnt worth it, and i think we have dicussed brooks before in a thread a while back. We have a solid LB core right now, no need to burn a mid rounder, maybe late i guess. I mean Brooks knows how the NFL is, he saw what happened to Ricky, and I am sure he has that in his mind. A couple years ago Brooks was a monster, and he would have been upper first round if things kept on going that way. Personally I am glad Groh has stepped up to discipline the team, crap was really getting out of hand. Players were getting arrested for fights, smoking, other behavior that is "damaging to the team", etc. shit needed to happen and it did, hopefully UVa football will be a good contender next year, and atleast beat those goddamn hokies at the only thing they are actually good at.



Or how bout Brooks just makes stuff easy on himself, and goes CFL.
