HappyDays Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I'm posting this because I've seen a lot of people peg him as a Bills target in the 2nd round, although I never thought he would make it to our pick. With this news it's possible he falls down the board. 3 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) That’s terrible timing for him, and you have to hope that is a very isolated incident. It’s always dumb, but right now??? EDIT: I worked with a guy who went to UGA and went back to Athens, GA to be in his buddies wedding. The groom got a DUI going 2-3 blocks from the reception to the hotel. That would be another example of bad timing! . Edited April 7 by Augie 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when you're a team like the Bills picking late year after year you have to be willing to take advantage of opportunities like this, where say the 40th ranked player on your board is available at pick 60 because of one really stupid mistake. Obviously you have to do a deep dive into the person and make sure it is in fact just one mistake, not part of a larger pattern. Who knows, maybe he even drops all the way to day three. He isn't an elite prospect. Some teams might drop him off their board entirely and decide the risk isn't worth the player. I personally would not go that far unless I uncovered a pattern of behavior.

The circumstances of the arrest. the degree of intoxication. and yea , does the kid have any history of irresponsibility I just can t say Bills will now look away. Expecting them look deeper into him. He could be a great fit behind DQ and take over that role soon. Could actually be effective year one in that McD rotation. imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 4 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: It will depend on the circumstance…everyone makes mistakes…question will be if it’s a pattern… I've never had the opportunity to sit in an interview with the kid. I've never hired anyone to look into his past. I've never had dinner with him. That said, being he's a complete stranger I cannot with factual information say if this is a one time mistake or a pattern of behavior behind the curtain. What I can say is that lack of restraint leading up to one of his most important days of his life shows poor judgement. It makes one wonder if this is how he's behaving with the Draft just ahead of him...how does he act when he's here and has "made it"? Would obviously be a situation to dig into his background....but it's a horrible look for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
