I think the "noise" is 9 parts bullshit and 1 part some semblance of truth. "He's got attitude issues," and "he didn't work out at the combine" does not equate to "he's going to fall to the 2nd round." This is where I agree with Daniel Kelly. Come up with some sort of concrete evidence that he has character flaws, and I'll believe it. Until then, it looks like way too much pre-draft chatter bullshit.

Unless Nolen is actively in a gang or some shit, he's probably not dropping outside of the top 20. I don't even think he'll make it that far. He's too good as a 4-3 3T or a 3-4 5T. He is pure disruption, and his run defense isn't half as bad as is currently made out.

Sometimes, consistently good players get overanalyzed. I'd say Kelvin Banks fits in that demographic as well.

Well, I read that he has a BUNCH of overdue library books, as well as some unpaid parking tickets, so...
