    NFL Draft Wart Report

    With a hat tip to Wud for the idea, here is your thread to discuss any potential draftees we may want to steer clear of. Whether they're overrated, have weaknesses in their game, have red flags due to arrests, character concerns, head cases, divas...list them here. The more info we have on players helps us make a more informed decision. Whenever possible, please post a link to verify the bad report you've heard.

    I'll start it off with a report from a few years back on edge rusher James Pearce Jr...arrested for driving 63mph in a 35 zone on a suspended license...is this overblown? Or does it qualify as a legitimate issue? Don't know...give us your Wart Report Retort...

    22 - TE Mason Taylor
    55 - RB Quinshon Judkins
    86 - DL Josiah Stewart
    125 - G Dylan Fairchild
    158 - C Jake Majors
    181 - WR Donte Thornton

    Pearce was 18 or 19 years old when this happened and all charges were dropped per that article. This is just some guy getting his 2 minutes at his expense. If he had 4 baby mama's and a couple of DUI's then I might say Hmmmmmm....... The guy that is doing all of the talking now says he's just "a little crazy. Leave the poor guy alone.......

        There are Hall of Fame defenders with rap sheets that make Pearce look like a Boy Scout...if we take him, I hope he is a little crazy...Harbaugh and Minter will keep him grounded, focused, and channel that "crazy" into some dominent play...

          Jeffrey Simmons was video taped hitting a woman and went in the 1st. And is a stud for the Titans.

            I don't know if it is him being crazy or just somewhat immature. Many of us qualified as pretty immature when we were 18, 19 ... It isn't ideal, but it happens. The team just has some extra homework to do, but I don't think it rules him out. Normally, I think you look for a pattern of multiple incidents, unless a player has a particularly violent incident (Tyreek Hill).

            As a player, I think he really compliments the guys we have now, even if he is a little raw. I see some scouting reports that think he should be a situational rusher for a year or two, before he becomes a full time player. He really needs to work on his hand use and breaking down and tackling better. But he is fast and makes a lot of effort plays. He is a good speed to power move that should set up his development of pass rush moves.

              I wanted to draft him. Simmons was what, 19 years old and protecting his family in a volatile situation. That is supposed to be a red flag ?

              Frank Clark had domestic violence charges completely dismissed by a judge. SEA took him. KC later got bit. Tough toenails.

              Stefan Diggs got in a fight at the coin toss before a game. Hyper competitive. Great Stop/Start. Incredible midround value.

              Tell F21 I am warming up to Mike Green ATM.

                      I'm sure I'm butchering the saying, but something to the affect of...

                      "I want all my Oline guys to have grown up 2 parent-homes.
                      AND
                      I want all my Dline guys growing up in single-parent homes."

                      Different tools for different jobs.

                        Warren Sapp dropped because of marijuana, became a HOF player - a steal.

                        Then again, Ricky Williams loved his marijuana so much he busted out of football. So …
