You can except #1. We also didn't cover all our more pressing needs. Besides that, we got value through 6 but it seems to be the 'best available' approach..

We could argue that the #1 pick holds value as well but that would probably turn into a 20 pager. I look forward to seeing Frederick make fans out of the doubters. It will be fun to watch the fan transformation.

He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder.

He's PISSED about being drafted so late.

They just mentioned the DUI on The Fan. Hopefully, that's behind him.

I got a DUI in college back in the early 80's. It's not like anyone that has made a stupid college mistake is garbage. I get tired of hearing this stuff. You would think the guy committed armed robbery. I've been a federal agent for the past 23 years. I think I overcame a one night mistake and turned out pretty well.

Excellent perspective.. Thanks for sharing.

If you don't think the consequences of a DUI can be every bit as devastating as an armed robbery, then I don't know what to tell you

I think you completely missed the point which was that most everyone has something in their younger years that served as a wake up call. Most humans are not perfect.

Never had one myself, but have several friends who have. The board is a bunch of nuns at times!

It's refreshing see'ing a guy drafted late that actually looks like he may make the team compared to what we did last year.


Nice looking prospect here. Not a Caleb McSurdy throw away.

Yup. Solid pre-draft work by our scouting dept.

I got that and agree with it but

He also said

" you would think he had committed armed robbery" as if DUI is somehow an insignificant issue

I would guess more people get killed as a result of DUI than armed robberies

Way to miss the point

Converted safety. Looks like another Ernie Sims. is a coverage guy. Probably brought in primarily on 3rd downs

No way he plays in the nickel. Who are you going to take off the field?

You have Sean Lee and Bruce Carter and then Scandrick is coming on the field.

As others have said, you obviously have no idea what I was saying. Yes, people can and do lose their lives. I'm fully aware of that. It happened to this team just last year. However, my point was that it doesn't make you a criminal or a person of bad character. It can happen to almost anyone that has a few drinks at dinner or after work. Should it? No, but again, it doesn't make you garbage. I guess you're a Saint.

You said the wrong thing
Admit it and move on instead of compounding it

I'm thinking this presents an immediate challenge to OScan's role in the the defense. It should be interesting to see how the competition unfolds on defense with Holloway and Wilcox in the mix.

The fact that you overcame it doesn't make it okay, it's completely justified to bring it up. I hear what you're saying, but driving drunk can have terrible repercussions, even if it's just once and acting like people judge it the same way they'd judge armed robbery is complete hyperbole.
