Justin needs to stay away from the NFL. He is an addict and cannot handle the lifestyle. He would need a 24/7 babysitter like Josh Hamilton, and even then it would be dangerous to his sobriety. For his health and safety he should just retire and stay near his family. It's not worth it. He'll end up dead or in jail.

I don't know the man and you're probably right. But reality says he WILL give it another go and another team will take that chance. For a low pick (and that's optimistic IMO), that risk/reward is worth it IMO.

Risk/reward. The Browns reportedly balked at 2nd rounders before Gordon exploded last year. There will be a market for him IMO.

And people on here were ready to trade a second round pick for Blackmon based on the argument that 'he was worth the risk'.

Then he screwed up yet again, even though he was in the midst of being tested 10 times a month.

You don't go after people like this because they're either too addicted to put the drugs down or just too stupid for their own good.

You don't throw a million dollars at someone like that, much less put your team in the spot of depending on him.

You don't accomplish that by depending on people who have proven they're undependable.

It's possible to get a talented receiver without throwing money at an idiot.

 

who said we would be depending on him? i'd hope we wouldn't be depending on a 7th round pick. if we could get a top 5 draft pick for a 7th rounder, i think we'd be all for it.

 

 

it is also possible for people to rehabilitate themselves.

 

it's not like we're trying to throw the franchise away for this guy, we're CONSIDERING spending an EXTREMELY LOW pick on him. obviously our FO would RESEARCH the situation, and make an informed decision.

 

 

but to completely throw the idea out the window without considering it is idiotic.

      Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

      I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping

      I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
