I just don't think a guy that into pot is going to have the drive or hunger to really push it hard in the NFL. It's just a job for him that he'll be able to do so-so for a few years while he's young then he'll disappear by age 27 or so. A guy like that will never have a long career like Charles Woodson or Ray Rice.
Patton and Lattimore? Will take that. Baalke has been killing it. The entire NFC West has, really.
He said he's changed, we will have to wait and see (he did not get into any kind of trouble after the drug arrest in Baton Rouge). The Cards did have a lot of stipulations/conditions such as random drug test, meetings with team officials and doctors regularly, and so on for him.
patriots trade Dempsey to bucs for blount and a future pick, not liking that.
Sure isn't acting like he's changed much. He might not fail drug tests, but that wasn't his only red flag.

I had to work all day and just got to look over the Bears draft. It's being dogged in some circles, but I think they did a pretty good job.
Angelo was concerned with a player's floor above all else, while Emery's first priority is a player's ceiling. Today's NFL needs explosive athletes, and that's what Emery seems to be targeting.
Out of curiosity - why do you think Long has bust written all over him? A lot of NFL guys had him rated pretty highly. He has as high of a ceiling as any OL in the draft according to some. Plus - he's nasty. Enough with the OL oatmeal like J Webb.
The biggest knock on him is lack of experience; the Bears might gave to wait a year for him to develop. Next year he might have been top 10 or even top 5.
