    Jonathan Martin.
    Ray Lewis.

    I've got my eye on Gerald Willis III.
    outta The U.
    He has a red flag to be scrutinized.
    But I like him for us.

    Something must be in the water in S. Florida.

    These are tough calls.
    I am more lenient on Jeffery Simmons than others.
    What's an amateur mock drafter to do ?
    I don't scrutinize over a high school incident. High schoolers are dumb. College kids are also dumb but not as much and he has been good since HS so I'd give the kid a break.

      Agreed. But unlike Roemer, I will mull over this a little longer. I guess it is about maturing. Look at Jameis Winston. (wu scratches head.)

        Simmons was a HS kid, defending his sister, took responsibility, no other shit in his background and zero comparison in talent.

          That's the right way to know if he doesn't cut the mustard, but some will poupon such suggestions.

            Looking into DL solutions, I haven't really looked at G.Willis much yet. What do you think of C.Slayton from Syracuse?


            *feel free to move this to another draft thread since I'm going OT here and I don't mean Offensive Tackle.

              Good under the radar prospect, but more of a 1TECH IMV.

                If he ends up having the same kinds of personality issues that Burfict did, fine, take him off the board. But you are assuming it is as bad or worse, and you really don't know. A lot of Burfict's stuff was very, very public, so it's not like fans didn't know what kind of issues Burfict had. Roemer you just don't know.
                Regarding Tyler Roemer, I just read a Q & A from Ric Serritella of NFL Draft Bible & NFL Draft Scout fame.
                It sounds like Roemer's problems have to do with maturity.
                His answers included comments like
                "either you like me or you don't."
                and
                "I have to turn off the social me and turn on the work time me."
                But when asked about what he needs to improve in his gameplan,
                Roemer had specific answers, areas of weakness, including inside stunts.
                That shows a maturing self awareness.

                Ric has Roemer in round 6, the 23rd best OT.
                Tyler is ahead of Greenidge of Villanova, who we had a visit with.
                The talent is there with Roemer...upside...he's young.

                Food for thought.
                I really like to go back and re-examine prospects,
                in the short weeks before the draft.
                Self scout, if you will.

                      Uh, but...we STILL don't know what Roemer did RECENTLY, which was so bad he got kicked off the team, and the team refuses comment...

                        Any thoughts on Pouncey? Is this really his last year here? Do we really need to take a C high in the draft to replace him? He'll be 30 this year and was drafted in 2011. This will be his 8th year. Id expect to get 9-10 years out of an OL. So I can see him getting another 2 year contract here. Unless he decides to retire.
                        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                          I think he was too hyper last year, so glad to get out of Miami, and come play for a ring in LA w/PR.

                          Remember how he played, the first two thirds of the season ?
