This pick was a head scratcher when we made it IMO. He's played all of 9 games at LB in his entire life, and he's obviously got character red flags. Now it looks worse obviously.

It's my understanding we didn't have any O-lineman rated as starters when we took Barnes in the 3rd. OK. I'll buy that. I'm cool with the Barnes pick. But you mean to tell me we didn't have any O-lineman rated higher than this dude in the 5th round??

Great point, I was pulling for Duke Robinson at that point and was floored by this pick..???

I couldn't agree with you more. Meredeth and Robinson were on the board and instead we took Glenn? The FO didn't check this guy thoroughly, and on top of that he wasn't the best available OLB, but we'll see if he produces.

Well then admit why you were banned, and lol at the "All of a sudden, i can't win for losing". It must been pretty bad to wanna make up lies to a team that picked you high in the draft.

We don't need to know why he was banned, so long as the Redskins know the real truth then that's all that matter. He should have just said "no comment" and left it at that, but he didn't.

Yes sir. If he is going to make it in the NFL he'll need to learn how to better handle the media.

It's a f'ing 5th pick people, it's not like we drafted Percy Harvin or Pacman Jones. If we were the Lions, no one would care.

He was probably thinking about a big Hershey bar during the press conference. LOL.

It seems that for every negative thing that fans complain about, I can find something worst by another team that belittles it.

ProFootballTalk.com - Report: Rams Passed on Maualuga Because of Off-Field Concerns

Quote:

According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Rams were concerned about Maualuga’s past history of off-field issues. However, Maualuga hasn’t been in trouble in a few years and is considered to be a bigger, more explosive hitter than Laurinaitis. And the Cincinnati Bengals were excited to grab Maualuga in the second round.

Quote:

The Rams did take Iowa cornerback Bradley Fletcher, who had a DUI arrest in 2007, in the third round. General Manager Billy Devaney said that the Rams evaluate character on a case-by-case basis.

Still can't believe Rey fell so far...almost every analyst i've heard talk about the draft thinks he'll be a monster. If Cinci can clean up it's locker room, and Palmer recovers, it will be a very good team again soon.

But he did name several sources for ganja in the greater Minneapolis area. He knows about the important things.

Thank you, this is seriously not a big deal. I am sure the FO knows this all. If they don't then he will be gone. Oh yeah, we got him in the 5th. Not like this is Orakpo stuff.

Also even when all that Reggie Bush stuff came out it didn't even matter. The kid made a mistake. We are all forgetting that he was a young kid in college. Have you never lied in your life? Be honest with yourself. Not saying it is right, but you learn what honesty is and then you grow.

SBXVII · 04-28-2009, 10:53 PM

I have to be on his side on this one. Somethings are none of the general publics business. Now if the Skins wanted to look into it and check on his character and decided to speak with his college coach then fine. but honestly I simply would have told the people it's none of your business. I did something stupid, got caught, and punished. It's not like he got kicked out of school.

You are correct. Unfortunately for this poor boy, he chose his chance to grow in front of the national media. Now there's a tough learning experience.

I'm pretty sure I heard cerrato say during a press conference something to the effect of:

I think there was omething about him seling tickets, but we've been in touch with Nebraska and aren't worried about it.

But Im fairly certain he had no idea what happeed, at least not at that point. Ya gotta hope they know what the deal is now.
