This Year's Winston Justice

sommerSD · #1 04-25-2007, 07:53 PM

Last year, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE had Justice going to BUffalo at #8. He fell to Philly, in the second round. He fell because of character issues, the reason Merriweather won't go in the 1st. Who do you guys think is going to be the guy (if there is one) who falls from the top15 to teh second round? Last year it was Justice and Jimmy Williams.

I have no idea, but i'd like to see who you guys think...

Mershawn Lynch comes to mind instantly.

The only real one I can think of Ted Ginn Jr, although Im pretty sure at least one team (Jax??) will fall in love with him enough to draft him in the first

Well obviously Merriweather. And also Eric Wright. Both have the talent to go 1st round, but because of their character issues a lot of teams might be scared away from taking them.

Paul Posluszny I think is going to be this years DeMeco Ryans. Productive player with great intangibles that falls because he doesn't stand out.

Marshawn Lynch does come to mind but the Packers did have him in for a visit and doctors cleared him. I think they could trade down to get him and he ends up going to them at say 25 instead of 16.

In my final mock I actually had Justice going to the Eagles I believe. In round 1 though. I had Buffalo going with Bunkley.

I actually think Merryweather will more than likely get picked in the first round. A team will take a chance on him and I'm hoping the Chargers do.

Someone who I think could really fall to the end of round 1 is Branch.

I seriously doubt that michael. San Francisco, St Louis, Cincinnati and the Jets would take him in a heartbeat

ha why is everybody knockin on my hurricanes.. haha.. I would just like to make a statement about Brandon Meriweather...

I know he character issues (Shooting somebody in the butt because he was defending his team mate and him self and stomping on somebody, also defending himself.) I am not trying to be Ben Mattlock here and defend him but he has that personality of any South Florida "gangster". If you mess with him, hes not gonna be the nice Canadian. I would be willing to bet there is a hundred of players that have character issues just as bad as Meriweather. I would bet Vick smokes a shit load of weed and Ray Lewis carries a gun around time to time. I think Meriweather is being picked out more that what he is. Winston had issues like an Alan Branch of being a little lazy in the weight room and on the field sometimes. Meriweather never took a play off in a game like a Moss or Owens. Though Brandon is now Brian Leonard or Eric Weddle, he is still a hell of a football player and should be taken in the first round.

How about Dwayne Jarrett? I think he falls to the end of round 1 and he has a "cocky" attitude.

I agree with you on that, what I dont get is that at the beginning of the year people felt comfortable putting him at #7 to the Vikes. He will have to stay in the first round. What he did in college was phenominal. His top prioity is if he wants being a great football player enough. All that money will be tempting to make excuses not to work harder.
