Character isn't about what you do when everyone's watching.  It's about what you do when you think nobody's watching.  

That said, there is a report out there regarding his character that will be need to be vetted.  Is Nolen worth the risk?  Hard to say.  But in a class with so much talent at 3 tech, I would personally pass. 

Aside from Graham, who is really that close to Nolen's talent?

There are some guys in Rds 2-4, but I don't think there are really any 1st round caliber 3Ts other than these two?
Unless people are considering Tyleik Williams and/or Derrick Harmon to be close?

I get your point though, which is you are willing to wait on a 3T and would rather go with a potential Vita Vea type NT in Grant instead of getting Nolen and a more typical 2-down NT in the mid-late rounds.
