I can't get on board with drafting Tony Washington in the 4th round or drafting him at all. Beside the public relation nightmare that would ensue, his level of competition was far inferior than most every other draftable player. He may not even get drafted, or at least not until the 6th round.

Everyone deserves a 2nd or 3rd chance, but let him wait until the draft is over before giving it to him. The full story may even be worse then we know, and we just don't need that kind of distraction in my opinion. Signing him as an Undrafted Free Agent is more palatable to me at least, and allows the few valuable draft picks the team has to be used more judiciously.
