whatdrought Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It makes sense... I've thought for a while now that bringing 20 of those guys there is silly. Should be more business and less entertainment. If I'm a guy like Mayfield, I don't want the camera looking at me as pick after pick passes without my name being called (not to say that will happen to him, but he is one who could surprising fall, and if he does then its all going to be about his "character issues"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I probably wouldn’t go either. With that being said it gets uncomfortable when they go down the list to have enough guys there and then they don’t get drafted until halfway through the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s different than we think? Or maybe this was agent advised? We’ll never know! Five years from now no one will care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five years from now no one will care. I also thought of something else. The nfl makes a big deal of the mother/son red carpet. Remember his mom was ill at the time of the senior bowl. Maybe she doesn’t want to go, can’t go, or he just feels it would be more comfortable all around to stay home. Both Jameis and Mariota stayed home 3 years ago but I think Goff, Wentz, Watson, Trubisky were all there. Don’t recall about mahomes. 4 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Didn't Winston and Mariota skip it last year? It was 3 years ago now but yes. Winston’s grandmother couldn’t travel and Mariota’s whole family was in Hawaii. Edited February 20, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wouldn't go if I was him either. Personally I think he is the best QB prospect in this draft, but of the top 4 QB's predicted to go first, he probably has the best chance to fall given Rosen, Darnold, and Allen are all widely expected to go ahead of him with their prototypical size. There are likely only 2 QB needy teams in the top 10 this year by the time the draft gets here. Cousins is likely signing with Jets or Broncos (with Browns, Bills and AZ as other possibilities). Browns and then either the Jets/Broncos (whoever doesn't land Cousins) are locks for a QB. No one else in the top 10 are, and for another QB to go in the top 10 its likely going to take a trade up. Arians raves about Lamar as top QB and being special, so good chance the Cardinals feel the same as Arians formed that opinion while scouting him as a team. So quite possible AZ drafts Lamar. If he does drop, all the TV is going to talk about is speculation on whether its his "off field" issues, when in reality it is just because some of the QB needs would have been filled outside the draft creating less opportunities for QB's to go early. I mean there are 6 QB's who are legit possibilities to go in the first round, yet probably only 3 or 4 do. And if Lamar ends up as one of those 4, Baker could be the guy who falls. So I would skip the draft too if I was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Disappointing if he gets drafted by us. I want that moment of watching our future QB wearing the hat and holding the jersey. If he goes anywhere else, he can stay at home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I could be totally off base here, but maybe these kids that don't show are getting savvy to the fact that (apart from the photo op when things go well) the draft is about the NFL and not them. Along similar lines, I wonder if he'll have a camera crew in his face wherever he is on draft night waiting to capture the elation or dejection with every pick. Win win for the NFL.
