Evaluator on Bowers: “He cost himself millions”

[Mr. Scot]

No way in the world he drops as far as Hardy did.

That far? No. But he's still likely to be drafted lower than his actual talent and performance level would warrant.

If his issues get fixed, then GMs may be kicking themselves for not taking a chance on him.

(of course, someone might)

If he's there in the 3rd do we take him with our first 3rd rounder?

[Marguide]

Idk, if he needs microfracture, he may never be close to the player he was last year. Seems like a big risk before the 4th or 5th round.

Said in the other thread. He'll have a chance to be another Greg Hardy (underdrafted overachiever).

Did he likely lose millions on his first contract though? Probably not as much as it would have been without a rookie salary cap (still in discussion) but yeah.

If he falls, hes going to fall to the 2nd at the very most. He's nothing like Hardy in that respect.

[Mr. Scot]

If he's there in the 3rd do we take him with our first 3rd rounder?

I would.

He'd be an upgrade over Everette Brown, at the very least.

I see very little chance he falls that far, though.

If he drops to our third round, you definitely draft him. He was in the debate for number one so without question you would take him.

[teeray]

If he drops to the third I will kiss a rabid monkey on the mouth.

Yeah...I think some guys are getting carried away. He's going to drop...out of the top 10-15 picks. Leave it to this forum to take something so small and make it into something ridiculos.

Oh...and while we are at it future picks CAN be traded. That has been established...but it is at the team's risk.

[vorbis]

i feel like this costing himself millions thing is a bit disingenuous coming from a front office guy or "team." (i know, shocking) seriously reeks of smoke. what do front office guys care about how much money bowers will make in his lifetime?

John Fox is crying mile high tears tonight. I mean, everybody knows good defensive ends are the key to winning championships in the NFL.
