Perhaps it’s because I’m older and don’t like drama, but I wouldn’t consider drafting Sheduer Sanders because I wouldn’t want to deal with the circus around him.
Am I being a hater or do NFL front offices consider such things when taking players? I can see an NFL owner falling in love and wanting the media attention and excitement around my organization, $$$! But as a GM I wouldn’t touch him. [Reply]

No, those were the only examples I could come up with that came close to the same situation. [Reply]

That teams will draft guys high even if they have shitty personalities or shitty annoying families. [Reply]

Baker mayfield won a playoff game with CLEVELAND! Everyone thought that was impossible. [Reply]

I was referencing teams with owners that involve themselves in personnel decisions. I could have thrown Jerry in there too, since he has a boner for Deion. [Reply]
ok here the thing if he plays good enough and is great on combine day then yeah i take him. but if he not motivated and not obsessed with the game then hard pass. [Reply]

Teams get burn't all the time if their judging on their combine eval alone. How many GMs have been fired because of combine numbers. All the combine is, is a meat market. [Reply]
