Reading the Tunsil camp is telling teams that the step dad leaked the video of him from a few years ago. Same stepdad that was trying to get cash from Tunsil. Now that's smart. Trying to get cash from the kid and your little stunt cost him a bunch already.

@JasonLaCanfora We should be in Myles Jack terrain here. MIA, OAK, ATL, NYJ all possibilities

Draft chart says we can get to #14 with our first and second picks. Not saying we should...

Laremy Tunsil just lost so much money. Wow.
Fowler (2015 #3 pick): 4 year/$23.5 million
Peat (2015 #13 pick): 4 year/$11.4 million

They say he's passed all drug tests for years. And the video may have been five years old. Might be worth moving up to get him, but the PR mess wouldn't be worth it.
Exacto Mundo John, I'd also put forth that there is nothing about Marijuana that actually suggest it classifies it as a 'drug'.

Glad the Dolphins took him, good player.

Does Oakland snag Jack? Reports are they love him.

In my mind, no one worth trading up for now.

If Myles Jack makes it down, I'd grab him. But I wouldn't trade up for him. I guess I'm partial to Billings, with a WR in round 2. I would have fixed the OL, but I guess I'd rather stay in the trenches with my pick.

If we got Jack, we would have the best LB's in the NFL.

You keep you purple paws off of Billings.

I've soured on the idea of Billings. Reality is he wouldn't see more than 300 snaps in a season (barring injury). He's not a three-technique and I doubt he'd be in on passing downs. We can get a DT later.
