More post-draft chatter..

Stephen- "Do they have enough on you to suspend you?"
Lewis- "Probably not"

I absolutely love this pick... He's a BALLER!

 

[AsthmaField]

Dude is a legit corner. I mean, just really skilled.

Everything I've ever read or heard (other than the current case) has been raving about the guy's character. Behind this pick 100%.

I read that his jury trial is supposed to start sometime in July, so if he is found guilty of domestic violence will he get suspended by the league?

And if he is found guilty and suspended, how many games are we looking at? Hardy got 5 games or something like that, so is that kinda the norm nowdays?

Pretty sure their head of security used to work for the FBI. Then of course they have a hatchetman in Wells.

Given the league's ruling on Conley I doubt it.

What was the league's ruling on Conley, I haven't heard

They can't do anything regardless of how the case turns out. The NFL cannot discipline players for things that happened before they joined the league.

They did their due diligence and felt good enough about Randy Gregory, so we should all take Jones' word as gold. Nothing to be concerned about.

Heard that concerning Conley. But what is with the stalking of Elliott for a year? Did his supposed incident happen after he was drafted?

Hardy was put on commisioners exempt list in 2014 for all but the first game.

Yes. Apparently the girl reported two incidents with Zeke. One before he was drafted and one after. Because one supposedly occurred after, the league could act.

But as far as I know, that's done with, isn't it?

 

[haleyrules]

He will get past this story and be an outstanding corner.

I really liked Will's description of the type of player they look for. I think we're going to have some moxie on defense.

"Q: Taking four defensive backs, how are they suited to how Marinelli wants the back end of the defense to play?

A: That's the identity of our defense, guys that are smart players, guys that are versatile players, guys that are physical players, guys that play the game at the right pace. You try to match the players with not only the physical skills but also their desire to play the game. I think they fit exactly what we're trying to get done."

Goodell and Mara can do anything they want to do.
Why did they leave the file open on Zeke for a year, if they can't do anything that happened before the draft. They sure did want to do something to him.

I agree, they should not do anything to them. But we do know there is a bias.

While Charles Manson isn't the biggest defensive lineman Dallas has ever picked up in post-draft free agency, we just couldn't pass up on that motor he has which drives him like a crazy train. He wants to terrorize the opposing offense. You just can't pass up on a guy like that. Even though he is in his seventies and in prison. We expect him to receive a furlough so he can make mini-cap.

I like what they said about all the DB's we took, or almost all of them. That they have "sticky hands" and can go get the ball.
They emphasized this about Lewis on draft day.
