Draft Free Fallers Continued

The number of draft free fallers continues. This time capped off by the most volatile position, wide receiver.

Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma, 6-4 224
Everyone was so high on him. He's got great size but so do half of the receivers coming out of USC but they can't separate in the NFL. Kelly complained that the OU staff ruined his pro day because he trained on Astro-turf and they held the pro day on field turf. Ah, hello Malcolm the NFL stopped playing on Astro-turf years ago, you're just slow. A time of 4.6 in the 40 is going to drop him into the second round.

Mario Maningham, Michigan
Mario is a double idiot. First off he took drugs. Second off he lied about taking drugs to NFL teams. NFL teams practically use FBI background checks. No way is he a first rounder.

DeSean Jackson, California 5-10 169 in a wet t-shirt
Just one sentence sums it up: He looks like a high school player. Sure he has speed but that won't do him any good in rehab. He's only a punt returner and 3rd down stretch the field guy. Any more than that and he'll be in street clothes on game day. Plus he's loud mouth me first player.

Now a draft faller story: Let's go back to the 1998 draft. Everyone thought Randy Moss was great. He became great but he was carrying some luggage. He would have been a perfect fit for the Dallas Cowboys. He would have extended the carrier of Troy Aikman. But the Cowboys were getting ripped apart by the media for the character of the players on the team, like say Michael Irvin snorting coke and wearing fur coats to court. Jerry Jones wanted him but didn't want to take the PR hit. He sent Deion Sanders to go chat with Randy. Deion told Jerr'a Randy was cool and he'd be no trouble. Guess Jerr'a didn't believe him they Cowboys let Moss drop all the way to the Vikings. Can't say I don't blame Jones for not believing Deion. After all Deion has stood up for such people as Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, and Chad Johnson. All 3 have caused chaos in their organization. Jerry's been kicking himself ever since then for not drafting Randy Moss.
