Green-Beckhum

Anyone think there is any chance on us picking this incredible talent? I watched an interview with him and was fairly impressed. The background includes wacky weed and a fight with his girlfriend? Not sure what else is "really" out there but Winston has those type things and he'll go #1.

In terms of talent he is the best in the draft IMO. I would put DeVante Parker and White in that realm but they'll be long gone. Cooper is so smooth as well, again gone.

Should we pass on DGB for someone like Strong? I'm talking WRs here and realize S, CB and OL - among other positions are completely in play but I would take this guy. He isn't perfect but if he works and wants football like it seems he does this guy can be incredible especially with Benji on the other side.

Thoughts?

This game is hard enough without locker room distractions

 

Leave Steve Smith outta this man.

And no...he's very quiet in the locker room. Almost silent from what I've read. His BS is being blown way outta whack.

 

He'll be out of our range

 

Not sure on that...he might be there. He seems much different than the terrible guy people make him out to be. The media sucks we all know that. I can't interview this guy but an emotional evaluation would be in order for us. I don't see a monster in this kid.

 

So he's convinced you but he won't be there because the media?

 

A question judge. Nice. Thanks for the brilliant input.

Any player that fast and big can get deep. Do you really think this dude will not catch the ball? Overthinking fucking sucks. He would make the Panthers much better next year.

My thoughts would be this:
Kevin White is Larry Fitzgerald. He'll be good.
Cooper will be a good reliable WR, he lacks size. Think Watkins with less speed
Green-Beckhum is a faster, twitchier, more athletic Kelvin Benjamin and that is right now, with more confidence and coaching...who knows
I really like AJ Green as a comparison on Parker. Not quite as tall but similar build and ball skills (incredible)
Coates and Strong have a future but not all that skilled with the ball at its highest point and not that instinctive, questions with hands
Devin Smith and Dorsett are both burners and can return so they have great value
Devin Funchess is Julian Thomas at best but that would be awesome
Then you go into VERY deep group of guys that will make it as WRs...but no pro bowlers

 

No arrest in case involving Dorial Green-Beckham of Missouri Tigers - ESPN

ST. LOUIS -- A police investigation of a suspected burglary involving Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has been closed without an arrest, primarily because of reluctant witnesses who fear retaliation and harassment for bringing a criminal complaint. Coach Gary Pinkel announced the junior receiver's indefinite suspension Monday for an unspecified violation of team rules.

On Thursday, Columbia police reported they can't proceed with a case that began early Sunday when an 18-year-old Missouri student said Green-Beckham forced open her apartment door at 2:30 a.m. while trying to see his girlfriend, a friend of the victim. The woman said Green-Beckham pushed her down at least four stairs. Another roommate told police the 6-foot-6, 225-pound athlete pushed the first woman with two hands to the chest. But later that night, the two told a detective they didn't want to press charges.

A police report released Thursday shows Green-Beckham's girlfriend sent 16 text messages to the woman asking her to reconsider pressing charges. The responding police officer had already applied for a warrant for Green-Beckham's arrest on a felony charge of first-degree burglary. "Dorial was wrong in every way and you have every right to be furious," one message reads. "I'm not sticking up for him but football really is all he has going for him and pressing charges would just ruin it for him completely."

"If you didn't want to press charges just say we all had a lot to drink and what not everything is fine," Green-Beckham's girlfriend later wrote. Columbia police also were investigating the incident for possible domestic abuse after the athlete's girlfriend said in one of the text messages to her injured friend that he dragged her from the apartment by the neck. The woman later told a domestic violence investigator that she had been drinking and didn't remember sending that message. The police report deemed her "extremely uncooperative."

A team spokesman said Thursday that Green-Beckham remains suspended. Two days earlier, Pinkel made an exception to his strict policy of not publicly discussing team discipline and told reporters he was "disappointed (and) frustrated." "We run this program with integrity. We teach our players to be accountable, responsible people. When they make mistakes -- they're going to make some mistakes -- but when they're serious mistakes, obviously that stings. It stings me. It stings the players. It stings our fans. My job is to get that fixed. That's what I intend to do," Pinkel told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Green-Beckham led Missouri with 59 receptions as a sophomore last season and scored 12 touchdowns, including a school single-game record of four scores against Kentucky. In January, he was arrested along with two men after Springfield police found a pound of marijuana in their car. No criminal charges have been filed in that case. Green-Beckham was also charged in October 2012 with marijuana possession in Columbia and later pleaded guilty to second-degree trespassing. He and two teammates were reportedly smoking pot in a campus parking lot near Memorial Stadium.

Jill Schlude, assistant police chief for Columbia, told KFRU-AM earlier this week that police investigations of Missouri athletes in the college town are routinely hampered by wary witnesses. "If you're a Mizzou student, do you want to be the person who, to use their terminology, 'snitched out' somebody who's this big athlete, star on campus, whatever?" she said. "There's a lot of pressure there sometimes on the students." An apartment complex resident who first called police to the disturbance told an investigator that several of Green-Beckham's unnamed teammates implored observers to "not call the cops" and "chill out" to avoid getting their teammate in trouble.

In one of her text messages, Green-Beckham's girlfriend said she feared he would get kicked out of school and damage his NFL prospects if the case moved forward, adding that, "The coaches talked to me and explained how serious this is and there's no time to waste at this point." The woman later told the domestic violence investigator that she hadn't actually spoken with any Missouri coaches but was relaying their concerns as expressed by Green-Beckham.

 

So would Hardy. Sometimes I wish we were the Raiders.

 

After the Hardy BS there is no way Richardson takes on this guy
