Except he changed his life around this past season and did everything to stay out of trouble, dorming with freshman, staying out of any situations. Brian Kelly took his captaincy away which lit a fire in Floyd to prove he can be relied upon as a leader and his play showed for it. I am not gonna rule out maybe him doing something stupid moving forward but he really was on his best behavior this past season after nearly getting kicked off the team for the problem he had.
Because of this.... Everything I've found about him seems to lead to him chaning his life around, and that can happen for people wthat have problems with Alcohol. FLoyd will have a lot of explaining to do in the interview process, but if that goes well, the reports are true, then I see him as no more risk than many of these mid round guys that have less obvious red flags and are less talked about becasue they have not gotte in trouble yet. The kid really is a stud receiver. Sure there are other big guys and other fast guys, but he seems to be to be the complete package. With the reports taht we only have around 8 to 10 mill in cap space, signing a receiver is going to be round, gettign one with Floyd's talent is going to be damn near impossible.
If we were willing to sign Kendrick Ellis I dont imagine MF's personal problems will be an issue for us to sign him.
I hadn't heard about his turning his life around. If he has, and the Jets are satisfied, then I can live with his being the pick, but I still think that the #1 pick should be an OLB unless they're all gone.
They won't all be gone. Then again someone like Curry could be around at 48. I'm all for the elite receiver in the first and OLB in the second. We should be gettign a very good player at our second round pick as well. the Free agency period will help clear a lot of this up, but its fun to speculate about all these talentd guys now.
Yes it is fun. I would be shocked if Curry fell to 48. I don't think the Jets can afford to risk it if all the top 4 OLB prospects are off the board by #16 (I don't think they will be, either), then they have to try to trade down into the mid-to-low 20s and then take Curry. I totally agree with WW85 that OLB is the biggest need in this draft. The Jets don't need a first round WR imo. Denarius Moore was taken in the 4th round last year and Kerley was taken in the 5th. There are a number of tall, fast WRs with good hands who at this time are slated to be drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds. One of those guys will do very nicely. With Thomas gone, Pace gone after this season, with no depth at OLB, with the OLB position arguably the most important position in a 3-4 D alignment and with the pass rush sucking balls for forever, OLB HAS to be the first pick imo.
Agreed. I would say there's like a 5% chance that Floyd is there when we pick. JAC, TB, MIA, & SEA, amongst others, all need WRs.... and Floyd's stock is only rising at this point.
They are going wideout in the first without a doubt, maybe O line though if the report is true aboutt he Bills getting Super Mario....
Yea, it bumps up receiver as a need, but there is a lot of FA left to go. Manning watch will change the Phins a good deal one way or the other.
I dont see Manning signing with Miami... I would Pencil in Floyd to the Dolphins (if he makes it that far) BakerMaker must be upset :sad:
In a perfect world yes, Floyd falls all the way to #16. I actually have Ingram as my #1 target but i find that even less likely. Those that say Miami could get Floyd,i doubt it, why try away a supposed head case only to draft another. Miami is a weird team to figure draft wise, i live down here and all Dolphin fans are hating that trade, and never seem to like any of there recent drafts.
I can see him as a viable option, and I think that he has the skills to be a great NFL receiver, but I'm not ready to call him a must draft guy by any means. There are still other names that I would take if they are on the board above him (and Perry is one of them). Just to add, a big reason for that is the depth of the receiver position. I might have Floyd with a higher value than Perry on an overall scale, but its close. That proximity pushes me to consider the fact that I cannot get a Nick Perry later in the draft, whereas I fully believe there are 2/3/4 round receivers who can be as good as Michael Floyd (though obviously that requires intelligent drafting and luck so they overcome whatever is holding them down).
DONT SAY THAT! I will be upset if he's a Phin. If Flynn goes to CLE, Peyton goes to TEN and Hass(Who'd get cut) returns in SEA, then I can see Miami take Ryan Tannehill in the top 10. That's what I WANT. I think Miami really likes Coples as a DE. Likewise with their big boy up front as a free agent, Dontari Poe might make sense.
I see what your saying GH Perry I'd probably the prospect who is going to be there for us with that pick. I think most of us would rather have a combination of Perry and Sanu/Jefferry then Floyd and Curry/Branch
I'm thinking the same thing. Besides that, we have bigger holes to fill ... and the guy was arrested three times in college! No thanks. Give me Nick Toon in the 3rd round.
If we haven't addressed WR in FA and Floyd is OTC at #16, he has to be strongly considered. Right now, I think it's 50/50 he's available. Pray for Tannehill and Poe to be drafted in the 1st 15 picks...it will push a couple of players down to us.
All of you Floyd hatred should try reading some stuff about him and what experts think. We would be lucky to grab him at 16 ..he will be a stud
A lot of people have him rated as a better prospect with more upside than Blackmon. At this point, if he was there at 16, we should count our blessings and call it a day.
