I’ve never seen someone make such a big deal out of carrying a pocket knife. And you have no idea if this has hurt him enough to make him drop yet. It might. It might not. Just like your boy bfred would make him answer for opting out, if I’m a GM interviewing him I’m asking about all of this stuff. The choking. The Jerry Sandusky “jokes” the “prison *****” stuff. What happened with Ohio St. All of it. And I for damn sure better see some serious regret and remorse in the kid’s face, and not feel like I’m being given insincere, stock answers on why that stuff shouldn’t stop me from drafting him.

The fact that you’re not even willing to entertain the idea that he’s too much of a risk with a top 5 pick is crazy to me. I don’t know if it’s just stubbornness or what, but if this was one of “my guys” (Sewell, Chase, Pitts, etc) I’d be off of them in a heartbeat.
