Quentin Johnston come on down at #18.

for a guy who didnt like ebron because of his hands, you want to take a guy who also has suspect hands at 18?

they did pretty well without jamo last year.  its a kick in the nuts because of how he hopefully would have made them better, but you work through it.  hope the nfl gives them some easier games at home to start the season.

It's a significant concern for sure. In the case of Ebron though there was also concerns regarding his maturity and ability to run routes, which I don't believe is there for Johnston. But yes, I am concerned with his 11% college drop rate.

betting on non-nfl games at the facility?  are they allowed to bet on anything at all?  was it because it was AT the facility?

if its just because they were at the facility, it seems kind of dumb...

I believe with Williams it was because he was at the facility. As I understand it, betting on NFL games is banned so that's why Cephus and Moore got idefinite. Williams got 6 games because he was betting on non NFL games which is allowed but not on NFL or team property.

i dont know if there is an "x" receiver you take high in this draft.

i still think that if theyre going to take any receiver, JSN is the guy to take.  osu qbs may suck but osu receivers are the real deal.  JSN will be too.

you might have to stay ahead of the bears to do it.

Six games seems a bit much for a first-time offense on something that would be legal if done a couple hundred yards from wherever he was sitting.

That's true of any workplace through. There are certain rules such as don't drink on the job. Off site ok, work hours not so much.
