Chiefs ANOTHER DGB THREAD! - Page 2

Dorial Green-Beckham visiting the Chiefs today

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-chiefs-today/

While many pre-draft visits are for the sake of smokescreen, or to firm up medical information, many of them are for teams to look a player in the eye.

Likely along those lines, the Chiefs are bringing in one of the most talented players in the 2015 NFL Draft today, who comes with considerable baggage.

Via Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Chiefs are hosting former Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham today.

Green-Beckham has also visited the Bengals and 49ers, and the Vikings and Ravens have also met with him. Plenty of other teams probably have as well, to see if they are willing to gamble on a player with explosive ability and a checkered past.

Green-Beckham was kicked off the team at Missouri after a pair of drug arrests, and a domestic violence accusation (though no charges were filed). He transferred to Oklahoma, but never played a down there.

If you trust him, he’s the kind of game-breaking talent which any team can use, and getting him with the 18th pick might be a steal. Weighing whether they can take such a chance is the kind of thing most evaluators can’t decide before meeting someone face-to-face, which the Chiefs will do today.

Lets not forget about Dallas's line...

Gotta have those "safe picks"...

Take him in the first. When they do their little "redrafts" in 5 years or whenever everyone will be saying he should have been a top if not the top pick.

I imagine DGB is going to go in the top 10 picks of the 2nd round.

We need to be ready to trade back up.

I suppose we could trade down a few times.

This. There are certain players that you have to be able to put faith in their ability to overcome immaturity if the talent level validates it. He's one of those players. The guy was, arguably, a top 3 receiver in college football 2 years ago and that's with him having no idea what he was doing. He is incredibly raw, but incredibly talented and his measurables are through the roof. I wouldn't hate the pick at #18.

The first round is for drafting freaks. DGB will never make it out of the first...won't happen. Think about it, he got busted for pot and he pushed a girl. This isn't exactly Al Capone here. He was (is?) very enabled and felt like life had no negative consequences for somebody like him. He found out differently. Pinkel knew that he was doing the right thing for DGB by cutting him loose. Better to learn the lesson early and start growing up.

Once again, DGB is very much like a young Megatron. He has that type of ability, strength and size. He is an extremely intriguing prospect whose upside is almost limitless.

Real franchises don't waste picks on non impact players in the first 2 rounds.

Bullshit. Plenty of contenders draft OL and DL in the first round. You're stupid.

I never said anything about DL in my posts now did I... And you are calling me stupid?

JFC dude, how about you learn to read before you call someone stupid...

Or just take him instead of trying to be cute about it, and before someone else does.

Good GMs find a way to be cute and still get the players they want.

like:

1st - CB Kevin Johnson
2nd - WR DGB
2nd - C Cameron Erving

Apparently he turned down a visit to Dallas.

Not sure why you would do that unless you've been assured you'll be picked by a team ahead of the Cowboys.

I wouldn't think a player with character issues would turn down anyone.

Just walk that line and keep your mouth shit.

I agree, I just can't think of another reason to turn a team down - especially a team like Dallas with an explosive passing game.

Working opposite Dez Bryant? Hello, single coverage.
