Many had talked to him and said he didn't sound like a troubled kid in their eyes.

He could be the best player ever taken in the Supplimental draft.
anyone can sound like they're not a thug for five whole minutes, especially with money riding on it. Lawerence Phillips proved that talent isn't enough and that its easy to get burned by ignoring the inherent problems a guy might have. and being the #1 HIGH SCHOOL player means nearly nothing in the NFL. lots of players rise and fall in college, and he would have had that chance too, if he hadn't blown it.

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

I went to a UVA - UNC game last year. What caught my eye was Brooks just looked lathargic. It was like he didn't want to be there. I was right behind the bench and he didn't show any fire at all. He is a real talent and has shown that at times but needs to get his head together.

no way. if my memory serves me well i think the old man had some drug issues as well. as long as coach gibbs is here, character means something. and like i said at the beginning, no way

I don't know man. Everyone seems to say that Sean Taylor is a good guy but he is too easily influenced by the dumb stuff his friends do. This guy could turn Taylor into a crackhead before we know it.

I think if we get him for a 6th or a 7th, then go for it, although I really think someone is gonna burn a 3rd rounder on this kid. We never draft anyone worth a crap in the 6th or 7th anyway, may as well roll the dice.

You damn right !!!!!

It also leads to Junk food, a whole shit load of juice ( NOT WATER ) or drink (see Chappelle's last stand up to get the joke), sleep, more juice, Chipotle (cause that's the only time you have the balls to eat it knowing that you'll pay for it later), juice, chocolate, a sandwich, PS3, any music that get's you "there" like the new Tool or Chilli Peppers or even a brand new or classic Junkyard Band CD can do the trick. I know that was a run on if there ever was one but I'm still recovering from lunch time !!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH you beat me to it !!!!!

I forgot laughing. Man you'll endure some things like that. I actually watched The Adventures Of Pluto Nash ALL THE WAY THROUGH one time. I wish I had that time back.

Coming to America is GREAT when you've been to the Abyss !

Ive heard this guy is a beast, and he sounds like a good middle LB. Given our history of poor picks in Rounds 4,5,6 do we take a shot in the supplemental draft if he is available? My first impression is yes, but there have been some off the field issues. I think the biggest issue was a possession of less than 15 grams of pot, which could have been as little as a joint, I don't know. Thoughts?
Id say it would be unneccessary. Our LB core is amazing, i expect more will be coming from Khary Campbell and the young rookie simon, Id be more focused on finding a solid solid backup for our O line. Everyday Im believing this team is gonna rock it out this year.
