Wow, Ameer before Randy, holy shit.

Some people have speculated that he's got a mental condition like OCD or ADHD. The reason no one wants to go on record about it is the fear of mental health issues right now. Gregory could smoke up as a way to self medicate

Ameer's fumbles scare me but dude is a great runner.
Hmmm...I don't dislike Abdullah, I'm not sure that I'm sold on taking him at this point, though. Our ability to gauge second round running backs hasn't exactly been stout of late, but here's hoping the improved young o-line gives him enough of a hole to burst through.
Wonder what this might mean for the Chronicles of Riddick, though.

There are plenty of good legal solutions for that. OCD or ADHD are hardly mental issues that a team would avoid. Teams typically do their homework. There is probably something worse at play.

what is wrong with Jaelen strong that he's dropping this far?
Fixed it for you.
Hey, thank you so much for having that gif. I saw that film on video and made the gif years ago, and thought I lost it to time. It's back home on the HD.
FUCK YOU, RATBIRDS!

Love the draft for the Ravens. Flacco can't be ELITE without weapons, they got him some weapons
bitch please
you can't handle this
.
They will strengthen his grip by making him hold Stafford's lunch

3 cone drill was worse than most DL. Only 3 wrs in history were successful with similar numbers.
all I can figure.
:jnc I'll buy Abdullahs jersey if he's good.
I like the pick. I didn't do to much research on the guy but just watched some film and read up on him a little bit:
And this is absolutely huge IMO:
Hasn't dropped a pass in two years and can be a valuable weapon in passing attack

Going to be a great check down option for Stafford.
Now we can focus on defense and grab a receiver with our 5th round pick.

Here's the article suggesting its a mental issue. They mention anxiety or depression instead of OCD but I think the gist is the same. Football players are under a ton of pressure in the season and that can make the situation worse.

We have enough picks to rule the world though

I don't know if he can replace Ike Taylor. This guy can actually catch a football!

Clearly more than one.
Yea, I just hope they don't get too cute.
They are excited in the war room right now...wonder what is going on.
Hmmm, can't really pick out which way Broncos will go. I know everyone says OL, but I'm thinking they are going there in the later rounds. Could be wrong, I've had a tough time gauging so far. Personally, I think all those OL interviews were to find diamonds in the rough.
That's a slightly undersized CB, guy looks like a damn good athlete though.

Do we have a third round pick?

Wonder if Ali Marpet makes it to 68. Really would love that pick.
Also, Grady Jarret, Eli Harold, Derron Smith, Tre Mcbride.

They'll pick Gregory. Such a Jerry pick.
That would be pretty neat!
I had a really hard time finding it a while ago, stumbled upon it recently while trying to find something else and had to save it.
Garrett's on the phone in the war room and he just handed it to Marinelli.

He's tempting Goodell to increase his suspension.

Yes, and like 3 4th round picks. I feel we could trade out of some of the later picks for next year. Unless we starting trading up for pplDo we have a third round pick?

Sounds like Gregory. Such a Jerrah pick
I get that. They (athletes in general) still have plenty of options at their disposal if they reach out. He wouldn't be the first one facing performance anxiety or depression as an athlete. I understand that there is a stigma around it, but if it was out there I'm sure teams would be willing to get him help, especially if (as bad as it sounds) he is talented. I just wonder if there is something beyond that.
