Draft him. He's the big back we need. Plus he gets mad when he loses.

I would draft him.
Bob McNair wont.

I'd draft him to and I think that he'll probably go in the 3rd-4th round. Teams will research him pretty hard and have extra interviews with him but he'll get drafted and make some team that takes a chance on him a good RB.

Andre Smith-OT from Alabama completely flaked out last year in the post season and combine and pre-draft but he still got selected #6 overall. If an NFL team investigates a player fully and the player interviews well, they'll overlook previous problems. It just takes the right team in the right situation.

Andre Smith also had more natural talent than any player in his draft class. I'd been hyping Smith up since his Freshman year. The kid was that good. There were not 5 guys more talented in the draft than him. He did plenty to drag himself down, and it remains to be seen if he can fully realize his talent, but there was no question about if he was worth a shot at #6.
Blount? He wasn't a first rounder to start with. He wasn't really even on my radar. He also got into a fight on national TV. He started the fight. He then proceeded by attempting to attack the fans. He issued an adhesion form that clearly was written by someone being paid well by Oregon. Aside from all of his "red flags" (which are MUCH different than Andre Smith's) he just isn't a top talent. Andre Smith was easily a top 6 talent overall. Blount isn't even a top 6 talent at RB.
He did not start the fight. Although it doesn't matter, go back and look at the footage again. Blount was walking back to his locker room mad but certainly not talking to anyone. The Boise State dude, who nobody puts blame on him comes and talks crap to his face and then bangs on his shoulder pads.
IMO, if we can get this guy in the 5th or 6th, go for it.

Since the combine goin on lets re-visit. There seems to be character issues with this guy but what about his football skills...anyone have any insight to his his pass catching and blocking abilities? Does he still fit the bill of a 4th to 6th rd pick?
Blount was signed out of JC and has less than 200 carries at Oregon. So, he's not the finished product and would need a ton of coaching to become a complete back. Blount is someone to be considered during Day 3 (It takes 3 freakin' days?) as a "project". His tools as far a size, explosion, and instincts make him more of a 4th rounder than a 6th rounder.Since the combine goin on lets re-visit.

I want no part of him. He will drive the coaches mad once he gets his first contract. Give me Toby Gerhart in the third rather than Blount in the 4th. It all comes down between the ears.
Did anyone see Gerharts official time ? I've seen a 4.53 , if that's the case , he'll be a 2nd IMO .
Blount's not going to look good in these practice drills. But in football games, where he has to be tackled, Blount looks pretty darn impressive.IMO Blount looked unnatural running the drills. I know he's big, but he just did not look like a RB when he ran.
