I just don’t know about this kid...really hoping the team did enough homework on him.
The talent is legit I’m just not sure I would’ve taken the risk seeing as to how often we’ve been burned. Top 50 picks are no joke...we need this to develop into a starter by year 2.
I probably would’ve gone Samuel / Meli if they were honed in CB round 2.
Same. It does appear the team liked him quite a bit, going to the pro day. So I'm hoping that they felt confident in his personality this whole time, and looked at him as a backup plan. It's obvious the talent is there.
It's easy to forget how young these guys are. I remember Beasley being a young dude quitting in training camp, only to be talked off the ledge, and go in to have a super succesful career. This is a real big moment for a 21 year old and not all are equipped to take it seriously. Hoping for the best with Joseph
That’s my concern as well. Has nothing to do with being a rapper. It’s about commitment.
Stoops suggested he just leave because apparently he told the team he didn’t plan on playing in one of their games. I don’t mind independent spirits but that doesn’t conform well to a team concept.
How will this kid respond to “voluntary” workouts in the off-season or training and film study?
We’ll see. He’s got the raw skills.

Hes not 6'1.Bit of a surprise pick here for me.
The talent definitely warrants the pick but does come with some off the field history.
- 6'1, 4.34 40 at pro day (so likely 4.4 athlete)
- 4 INT in SEC tied for league leader
- 0 catches allowed against Alabama
Not the guy I would've taken, but if the FO did their homework on he's a legit top 50 talent. Heard some say 1st round caliber talent.
Bossman Mixtape > Beasley Mixtape
He's not a jerk or a criminal. He just doesnt prioritize football like you want. I hope that changes. He'll make more money playing football. He can always rap in the off season or when he retires. Maybe even start a label and use his nfl fame to push his artists. but he has all pro talent.
This is a big deal. The musicians I know prioritize nothing in their lives, but music. Getting them to show up on time is mostly impossible and their mind is normally somewhere else. Lets hope he takes this payday seriously as he has all of the skills.
Musicians are just creative people. Creative people are different. I’d give him a chance first.This is a big deal. The musicians I know prioritize nothing in their lives, but music.

5’11 1/2. At 20 years old. He may grow. In two years, they’ll start calling him 6’0. Dez was 6’1 5/8. They call him 6’2Hes not 6'1.
I'm just stating facts brotha.5’11 1/2. At 20 years old. He may grow. In two years, they’ll start calling him 6’0. Dez was 6’1 5/8. They call him 6’2
I’m hoping he has one more growth spurt. It’s rare but possible.I'm just stating facts brotha.
I didn't want him at all but I'm rooting for him.I’m hoping he has one more growth spurt. It’s rare but possible.
I assume everyone is not only giving him a chance, we are rooting for him.Musicians are just creative people. Creative people are different. I’d give him a chance first.
