Galloway says we have these guys in the box:

Not that he'd be available to us, but any idea why Percy Harvin is "in the box"

I'd always heard he was pretty much a stand up guy, so I don't get it.

He's got an extremely bad rep when it comes to being liked on his team or responding to coaching. One booster there I know said he has a terrible attitude and that alot of the coaches were glad he wasnt coming back. He also comes from a pretty rough neighborhood if I remember correctly.

A couple of the draft guides make reference to some of this stuff.

Harvin doesn't even warrant a first or second roung grade..he's a punt returner at best..he's just all speed. Unlike Felix who actually can run between tackles and have awareness.

Harvin is more than just speed, he is a better receiver than Ginn and he could be very successful if used like Bush is now, probably more. I like Harvin, he could be a DeSean Jackson like weapon.


But I am for no more problem children on this team.

These are "potential first rounders", he says.

-- An offensive lineman from South Carolina. (Almost has to be Meredith)

-- Percy Harvin

-- An defensive lineman from Boston College. (Surely Raji, especially now with the positive test at combine.)

Interesting...

I think he's talking about Brace.

Wait, you guys know what "in the box" means, right? It means they are off our board for character reasons.

And Braveheart, you have to rank them all in case you trade up or a guy with a first round grade falls a lot.

Ok then. I had no idea what 'in the box' meant. Never heard that term used before.

see Bob, dc is a noober too.

I've read the wrong things about Meredith. Multiple sources have panned him as a soft player. Given the Cowboys' consistent failure to identify quality offensive lineman he seems right up our alley.
