I didn't say anyone excused the Tennesse incident..
So what would you say if Pit had made the pick?
We needed a starting caliber WR. We passed on that need in the 1st and took Mims instead(which I'm cool with). Then a big run on WR's happened in the late 1st and early 2nd, so we took Jenkins(which I'm also cool with). 3rd rolls around and you've got a kid with 1st round talent at a premium position of need, but character issues. If the kid keeps his nose clean, you've got an elite talent at a premium position. If he doesn't, we're out a 3rd round pick, which stinks, but teams miss on 3rd round picks all the time. It's not the end of the world.
He's a Bengal, so I hope he's matured and reaches his elite potential. If he was a Steeler, then I'd hope he hasn't matured, punches Webster in the mouth, and gets cut.
For us, he's a gamble. But a 3rd round pick on a Top 20 talent at a premium position where you need an immediate starter is a risk worth taking.
Here's a question, which do you think is more likely, Burton never hits a woman again or Sweat never drinks and drives again?
