You can tell us to stop talking about the RKG's, but that isn't going to change the fact that the team definitely takes players off their draft board because of character concerns.
Do I agree with it? A lot of the time, yes. Sometimes though, on a player like Tyrone Mathieu where the upside is great and the risk is low... I would like to see them roll the dice.
For instance, Dennard, the CB from Nebraska fell big time last year because of a run-in with police and New England drafted him in the 7th round. He played very well for the Pats this year and is a perfect slot cover guy IMO. I really wish we would have been the team to use a late round pick on him.
The type of problem the guy has had makes a big difference too IMO.
