NFL Rumors: RB Dalvin Cook Off The Field Concerns; Panthers Interest In S Obi Melifonwu

[CashNewton22]

Lmao do y'all not realize how many NFL players have different baby moms? Some guys on our team do and there's no big deal being made about that. Now let me go on record saying I don't want to draft Cook at 8 either but moreso because I think he'll be injury prone but this article just smells like it was planted by some team to push his value down and they can draft him later. There's absolutely a few character red flags that may or may not prevent him from being viewed as draftable to our front office but I feel it's much ado about nothing in regards to his kids situation.

First off,the thread sites "walterfootball" as a source. The website is known as a joke through most real draftnik circles and is know for its "REAL THUGS" type locker room talk. I agree with the evaluation of the the big guy at safety tho. Cooks a good kid this article about him are rubbish.

Ok so about the UCONN safety?! Don't want Cook at all because he doesn't fit our scheme. And bad value at No. 8 anyway! 

What round do you guys think the UCONN safety will skyrocket to after the combine and hype from Mel Streep?! My bad typo Mel Kiper!

Cook fits in any running scheme. There seems to be a huge misconception that he can not translate to a power running scheme here

Just because he's not guilty doesn't mean he's innocent. I like Cook as a player, but I doubt the Big Cat will approve of drafting Dalvin Cook.

What does Walter Football mean by "real thugs".

What would your opinion of a thug be, sir?

I doubt that cook drops all t way to 40 due to his choice of friends and reluctance to wear a rubber, and I think there will be better picks at 8, so it's a non issue lmo.

Arizona ignored the red flags on Robert Nkemidiche last year thinking they were going to get GREAT value at the end of the 1st round.

Ask them now how that is working out for them.

To be fair, he's been injured most of this year.

Then again, when he played, he was garbage.

Not just injuries.

Things just haven’t gone the way people expected. Nkrmdiche was supposed to be an impact player in Year 1. Yes, he missed a tone of training camp with a high ankle sprain, but it is more than that.

What is it, according to coach Bruce Arians? “Talent, not an issue,” Arians said, via Darren Urban on the official team site. “Maturity is. It’s just maturing.”

That seems familiar to tackle D.J. Humphries a season ago, who was inactive every game last season. He has started every game this season.

Arians said the two players are in different situations.

“D.J. worked harder,” Arians said.

The Cardinals took a chance on Nkemdiche after he fell in the first round because of character issues. The team was confident his off-the-field issues were not going to continue. The reported issues of work ethic and other things appear to have lingered.

The Cook news coming out screams late 1st round team spreading things to get him to drop. I don't buy into any medical/character concerns that seem to "pop up". 

Now, in saying that still would prefer Fournett or Adams.

One important fact about OBI that was not mentioned (I don't think)--he is SMART and has HIGH CHARACTER.

Kid is a true baller

He balls when hes on the field and that's all the time. Fournette is overrated.

surely you're trolling at this point
