Why couldnt we draft him in the seventh? If he does go to jail you wasted a seventh round pick big whoop Rooks didnt even make the team most seventh rounders dont only a select few but you kno he's a first round talent and a beast. The reward is greater than the risk. Now if gets his name clear you gotta fight prolly all 32 teams for him.

Because he'd be able to sit out one year and re-enter the draft next year

His agents said they wouldn't sign after the fourth round also (?) I'd of gambled a 7th on him, .

Actually a smart move on his part. if drafted and signed he is stuck in the standard rookie contract locked in for 3 to 4 years with and option year still hanging over his head.

By going undrafted, he signs as a UDFA picking his team and can redo his contract as yearly as the end of the second year. 1.75 mill is not much compared to a first rounder but his pay day all rookies wait for comes 2 to 3 years earlier than every one else drafted

so Lloyd of London here he comes for those first two years and insures the heck out of himself. then payday before every player drafted.

say what they want about the agent. I say Smart move.

now give him all he wants and sign this kid. guarantees all day long
