I don't think they'll take an ILBer in the 1st but my best guess, depending on his Combine numbers, would be McMillian.
But I think there will be more talented players available in the late first than McMillan. |

I'll keep Marcus.
I remember watching that 2nd round unfold and thinking with about 7-8 picks left until ours that we were definitely going to get a shot at Hendricks or McKinney at worst (after calling everyone that insisted we should take Hendricks in the first round morons). And then in the span of 4-5 picks they both went off the board. You really can't complain about a draft where you go All-Pro with your first, then starting center, then 2 guys contributing in a big way by year 2 in rounds 2-4. Then Ramik, DJ and RNR in rounds 5-7. Christ man, that's a draft and a half right there. But still, I would've loved to have snagged one of those two ILBs in the 2nd.

i don't see how you can support what Hill did and his second chance and not mixon. Hills appears worse to me, both acts are deplorable, but a one minute choke and the punching the baby bump is worse than receiving racial slurs, being hit and then hitting.

I remember watching this guy play for Western Michigan and was mesmerized.

And btw you give Tyreek a pass because he scores touchdowns, don't act like it's fir any other reason.

Tyreek acted in the heat of passion, something that is well understood by many that have been in a heated argument with a spouse or loved one. I would say that there is no more of a volatile situation than arguing with a loved one. That doesn't mean I think Tyreek was in any way right, I just know that emotions can reach a point where you have to step away or you'll end up doing what Tyreek did. He's continued counseling and has done right so far, so I respect him for it but I don't forget what he's done. Scoring touchdowns is his job, and his job supports his son. I have more faith in Tyreek to continue the good path for that reason than I do for a player with no reason. The Joe Mixon situation bothers me in a different way. The result is the same, he hit a woman. The reasons are not the same. Joe Mixon couldn't back away from a drunk college girl calling him names and blowing smoke at him. There's no inherent reason to become that heated in that situation. He has no emotional tie to this woman. While becoming upset would be a natural reaction, leaving the situation was easy. There's nothing between him and her that matters. He sought her out as much as she did him. He could have left after the altercation outside, yet follows her in. He threatens to hit her before she pushes/slaps him. That's a premeditation of sorts. Mixon received a similar punishment as Tyreek, but not quite as severe. These aren't the same story unfolding. This isn't the Ray Rice story unfolding (more similar to Tyreek). Mixon scares me that he'll be a repeat offender given the basis for his out-lash. I'm not as apt to give this kid a second chance. I'm also of the belief that a franchise can only take on so many reclamation projects. Even one can implode, but you're asking for something to unravel if you continue to add this type of player to your roster. The Chiefs already have a firecracker in Marcus Peters that they've managed to tame to this point. I've become much more apt to second chances, but Joe Mixon needs to find his elsewhere. Joe Mixon, if given the chance, is going to score TDs in the NFL just like Tyreek. Mixon is a talented player. It isn't about the TDs. |
