Had the phone even been invented when you were 18?

I always love the idea of a guy "dropping" in the draft because of off the field issues

"We dont want the wife beater in Round 1, but we will take him in Round 5"

Always cracks me up

Good for the Bengals, they say "Fuck it, someone else is gonna take this kid, who might be the best back in the draft, so why not us"

And yeah, someone else was definitely taking Mixon

I agree in part. But I think the idea is a risk versus reward. If you lose a 1st round pick to arrest or suspension it sucks real bad. If you lose a 5th rounder it sucks a little less. Plus it makes it a little easier to deal with the negative publicity if you add a first round talent in the 5th round. What I've found helps offset negative press better than anything is winning...
