    According to a mock draft by Sports Illustrated, using the actual draft order, the St. Louis Rams will pick Jameis Winston, qb, Florida State #10 overall.

    Mock drafts this early are, of course, subject to radical change.

    i don’t know how i would feel about that.

    it’s hard for me to forget about those rape charges. it sticks in my mind even though there’s the chance that he is innocent.

    so even if he proves to be the next ben roethlisberger, i can’t help but feel that this guy is a huge tool. and that would be the upside. the downside is that the rams would be drafting a rapist.

    I’d be shocked if he got by Washington, or the NY Jets. I would not mind taking him if he fell into our laps.

    he very well could drop to the rams.

    i don’t see washington taking him at all. the jets? it’s a possibility. the titans i think stick with mettenberger. no other team in the top 9 has a quarterback need. maybe somebody trades up. but with his character concerns, is a team going to trade up to draft him? doubtful. but if they do, i hope it’s with the rams.

    If he shows well after the season in private workouts and at the Combine and, of course, he actually declares (small detail)…

    And presuming the background investigations clear (I don’t care about the crab leg things.. that’s just circumventing the bullshit NCAA rules about players not being able to eat. It wasn’t an Escalade, so I not only discount it, I totally disregard it)… I think some team will trade up for Winston.

    Winston did really well with weapons. He remained unbeaten even without as many weapons, even though he made more mistakes.

    I think when all is said and done that it’s harder to find a QB than any other position. And if Winston isn’t seen as a Manziel, he’ll go much higher than 10.

    If he is seen as flawed such as the NFL slaps Winston with the 1st time offender tag and insists on counseling which would mean any subsequent incidents would mean an automatic 1 year suspension notwithstanding any additional augmentations like the woman being pregnant, using a closed fist or a weapon, then it’s entirely likely that Winston will drop entirely out of the 1st round. I could see him being drafted 33rd or thereabouts (sorta like Janoris Jenkins being picked up right at the top of the 2nd), but it wouldn’t surprise me if that happened… again…only if the NFL tagged Winston.

    Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.
