I always feel weird listening to e-40, my baby mama is his 2nd cousin, I feel like I shouldn't like him.
First of all, Seattle had no use for so many picks to begin with. Had they used them all half their picks wouldn't even make the team. Second of all, Lockett fills two glaring needs for us. Another WR and a kick returner which was a TOTAL disaster last year. Lockett is high character, high IQ and an amazing route runner. I loved the pick. As for the Clark pick, people need to get off their high horse. All your teams have criminals, or DV offenders. It's such a joke watching fans of other teams pile on the Seahawks. The fact is, if the Seahawks were a mediocre team this story wouldn't be half as big. That is a fact. Y'all are a bunch of haters. Go Hawks.
Yeah Seattle had a shitload of picks I noticed after, might as well cash them in. At first glance I thought they traded the rest of their draft away. As far as Clark, I guess its the only instance of drafting a woman beater I heard about, maybe there were more?
Prosecutor now interviewed. Says that the facts were not as they initially appeared (although she would not elaborate). http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/prosecutor-seahawks-draft-pick-is-not-a-batterer/ I wish that instead of trying to claim he didn't put his hands on her, they dealt with it differently. It sounds as if the guy is not a bad guy, but it seems clear he did lay his hands on a woman during what appears to be an altercation involving the two. Very poor judgment on his part to hit a woman (even if she is becoming physical with you) and alcohol was definitely involved. Hopefully he has learned from the situation and doesn't find himself in a similar situation. If he does, then the Seahawks have no one to blame but themselves for taking the risk.
Dorial Green-Beckham (drafted by Tennessee) was kicked out of school for a domestic violence incident. And let's not forget the Dallas Cowboys signing of Greg Hardy. No, he wasn't drafted this year, but he was acquired because he was/is suspended for DV. And I just saw on Twitter that 49ers Ahmad Brooks is accused of sexually assaulting a passed-out woman at Ray McDonald's house. He was NOT drafted this year but it does emphasize the point that not one fan of an NFL team has the right to cast stones from their glass house. It's beyond ridiculous to me that Seattle is getting so much grief.
I totally agree. I do wish Seattle would have just handled this differently and been totally honest. It's a fact that they went back on their pledge to not draft guys with a DV background. Just admit it.
A lot of the players come from terrible backgrounds. Products of their environments, not trying to defend them but that's the real problem.
I think another problem is all the enablers these guys have, these dudes need to chill out on the booze and bitches.
I know the NBA has problems too, and the rosters are like 1/5th the size of an NFL roster, but I feel like the NBA teams do a much much better job of monitoring their players and guiding younger guys to protect them from themselves. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the NFL really doesn't invest as much into their players and their future. It's pretty much sink or swim.
L'ael Collins now cleared of wrongdoing. I think he should be able to reenter the draft in 2016 or go supplemental if he wants to. Sounds like the league won't allow it. So now he will have to be an UDFA. At least he gets to pick the best situation for him. Edit: Guess he signed with the Cowboys.
The Cowboys have had one hell of a draft/UDFA signing so far. The best Oline in the league got a lot better with Green/Collins, I'm not longer worried about what running back runs behind that line because a grandma could get 1200 yards if Collins lives up to his potential. I was very against it but now I wouldn't mind giving up a 1st to get AP and watch as he dominates the league behind this Oline.
The cowboys should stop trying to pump up McFadden. He sucks bad now. They should sign Chris Johnson. Even a 30 year old Chris Johnson would destroy the league behind that line
Anyone is going to do great behind that line. I dont think McFadden is going to be the #1 back going into the season.
