2017 Draft Prospects Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If that was at least half as uncomfortable for him to do as it was for me to watch, no issue here.

That was bizarre as hell.
 
I'm still drafting him with the #1 pick

The best part is that Josh Gordon "liked" the Tweet of the video on Twitter. Guy continues to just be an idiot.

Lmao, fantastic.

BTW, still taking Garrett but...like come on, dude, keep your mouth shut.
 
Ok most of you are reading way too much into this. No different than Trubinsky saying he wants to play for the browns. Nothing to see here.

I mean, we all got over LeBron, so... you're exactly right.

If the kid is the next stud pass rusher that is a major catalyst in turning the team around then he'll be embraced like it never happened.
 
Oh, what do you know...ESPN changed the story and is backtracking in the wake of this kid getting shelled in the PR department.

Myles Garrett was in a "playful mood" two months ago when he made a plea to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

The ESPN video, released Friday, was taken during a relaxed interview session at the College Football Awards show Dec. 8.

Garrett attended the show at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta and spoke to an ESPN social media producer, who asked whether there was a specific team he might want to join in the NFL. His answer was "100 percent supposed to be fun," the producer said.

Garrett, a Texas A&M defensive end who hadn't officially declared for the NFL draft at that time, addressed Jerry Jones, owner of his hometown Cowboys, and Dallas coach Jason Garrett.

"All right, I'm speaking to you, Jerry," Myles Garrett said. "Mr. Garrett, make it happen. Dak Prescott is leading our team right now. I need you to take Tony Romo, take a couple picks, give them toCleveland so you can pick me up. Please. I would love to play in Dallas. Just make it happen."

The social media producer said Myles Garrett's comments were in the spirit of an upbeat event. All players in attendance went through a series of interviews before the event.

"He was definitely having fun and was in a playful mood," the producer said. "One of the questions right before that was about his interest in dinosaurs. That's what we do. We get fun little nuggets.

"It was 100 percent supposed to be fun. He was just having fun. He knew I worked for ESPN and that I was videoing him."

Fuck ESPN. This was over the line. The kid could have had a little more sense but the way ESPN framed this "story", they knew exactly what they were doing.

Shameful. This is a complete non story...but you better believe we'll have to live with the repercussions, mainly the ignorant contingent of our fan base bringing this up anytime Garrett's name gets mentioned as we approach the draft.

Yup. Right down to sitting on the video for over two freaking months. They so happened to decide they were going to release it yesterday? But now they have content to fill a full week for all their dogshit TV shows, radio shows and website. Just another day for the "newsmakers" at the WWL.
 
With potential perceived attitude issues with Garrett, and an increasingly high trade price on Garoppolo combined with the cost (and risk) of his contract extension, the 'political' tea leaves are starting to read 'QB at No. 1' for the Cleveland Browns. Control the rookie contract for five years and buy some tickets time. Take the pressure off.

Pass rusher at 12, execute the remaining high picks to acquire starters.

Trubisky or Watson; whoever looks best in the eval process (as long as one looks good enough to justify). Might mean a return of RGIII as well, since they already have him under contract cheap.

Garrett will really have to show he really wants it in interviews and workouts if he wants to go No. 1. It won't be automatic. Somehow I don't see him putting out the effort.

I know some of you aren't looking too hard into this...but man, some Browns fans I've been listening to here, on Twitter, or on Reddit are reading way too much into that video, and making ridiculous claims about the kids "attitude".

Like I said, I've had to deal with a player under contract on my favorite team say how much he wants to play for the Cowboys for 7 years now...it comes with the territory of a player from North Texas...get over it.
