Chiefs press conference on Tyreek Hill
Starting a whole new thread about this because I think it's a pretty important to get the justification and story from the people who made the pick. Was posted in the original thread, but I know it's going to get lost in the still vibrant discussion.
Basically, Dorsey would normally let his scout team handle questions about the last day so he can do UDFA stuff, but he felt he needed to address the press and media about it before too many stories got carried away. So they spent basically a full 20 minutes discussing the morality of picking somebody like Hill. http://www.chiefs.com/media-center/v...c-90e1d8adc228 For people who don't really care to listen, Dorsey and Reid basically give a single answer: "We've done our homework, so please trust us." Props go to Terez Paylor for asking the tough and pointed questions about this. He's got some balls as a journalist that I've never seen out of the KC Star. |

Victim shaming is a CP past time but I'm surprised that you're engaging in it. |

Pretty much the same reason no one ever contests a traffic ticket even when then know they are in the right. |

I feel like everyone should have a chance to comeback. A second shot. I don't like him but Vick changed, maybe Hill can too.

In fact I had an officer pull me over for speeding once when I had been following him at the same distance for over ten miles, said he was "pacing me". I plead not guilty, was set for tail. Officer didn't even show up to court. |

Happens all the time in our justice system. Innocent people plead guilty to avoid the possibility of a stiffer punishment. |

Hill plead guilty because he was guilty, plain and simple. If he HAD gone to court and proven his innocence, we wouldn't even be discussing this topic and most likely, he'd have been drafted before the end of the 5th round. As it stands, he'll earn approximately $600k this season if he makes the 53, which would be more than enough money to cover lawyer fees in a short trial. |

What a disaster,
and this isn't going away anytime soon. Franchise was weakened this weekend. |

If the prosecutor pressed, this guy was dumb enough to try to get out of this as fast as possible. Nobody truly knows what happened. |

Hill knows and he accepted the consequences without a fight. From my POV, that's enough information to know that he's guilty as charged. |

Also, I don't know if this has been discussed but if I'm Hali, DJ, Houston, Berry, Charles, Parker and Maclin, I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near my locker room.

If anyone is interested in how the justice system works for "poor" people (those that can't afford representation) I highly recommend this book "Courtroom 302". Fantastic non-fiction account of a year in Americas busiest court.
