Gotta be Rogers, Bray and Barkley.Really surprised that Rogers is still going in the 2nd of rookie drafts. When all 32 teams pass on someone with that much physical talent it's a pretty safe bet there's something seriously wrong. This isn't Arian Foster, where the measurables were all terrible -- Rogers tested really well.
I agree but the guy didn't just forget how to play football. I haven't really read anywhere that he's a track guy or workout warrior. He got busted for pot right? Seems to me that a guy could curtail that activity pretty easily if he chose to.
Failed three drug tests at Tennessee, went to Tenn Tech, and passed 10 tests there, i am reading. All in all, doesn't seem awful, on the surface; we've seen worse not harm players.
So it seems to me there is something the NFL knows that we don't. Either he got absolutely rotten reports in teams' investigations, or perhaps he was simply overrated entering the process. That's possible. I remember some draftnik, I think it was the Sideline View guy, saying that an NFL scout had told him that the draftnik community was seriously overrating Shariff Floyd, and that turned out to be true on draft day. Maybe Rogers was simply not rated as high as we were told he was.
Either way, while I agree the NFL whiffs on players, I am not investing a decent rookie pick on a guy that no team bothered drafting.
He went late in the 2nd in an IDP league I do with some pretty serious owners. Too rich for me.
