While the Raiders have a history of taking in "questionable" personalities, they've mainly been veteran players, not rookies out of college.

Some team is going to take a chance on him either 4th round or later. Even my Chicago Cubs drafted a pitcher who had once during warmups through a baseball at a player standing over by the dugout & ended up blinding him in one eye. Can't say it's right to do any of that - but just saying someone is likely going to give him a chance late in the draft where the signing bonuses are almost nothing.

He's only riding on the coattails of his brother... he really isn't that good and already has a criminal record. Bad news for ANY team.

He is going to be drafted. He has the athletic ability to be a QB... it's just the long criminal record that will make him a late round draft.

The track record for thugs to reform themselves once they're in the NFL isn't so good. But somebody will draft him anyway.

At least he will have the hunger to make millions of dollars and set up his family for life. Oh wait, his brother already did that, and Marcus shouldn't have to work a day in his life at this point. Well, I guess there's always personal pride to play for. Uh oh...

He's definitely projected as a 2nd day pick at best. He's not going in the early rounds. As for "make a cool million" don't count on it. Late round draft picks do not get fat signing bonuses or big contracts. He won't make anything near a cool million until he proves himself.

I hope the cowboys don't pick him up. But if anyone can reform him, parcells can...still, his stats, even in college aren't that impressive. Waaaay too many interceptions.
