RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

"Of course I'd like to go higher in the draft, but that's something I can't control."

Well, you could have made smart decisions and stayed at Ohio State, won the Heisman, and been a first round pick.

Well as of right now that doesn't mean shit to him. Nothing he can do about it and can never go back so all he can do is work to get drafted.

Isn't filing a false police report an off the field problem?

How about insurance fraud?

Please PLEASE let the Beveland Clowns draft him. Then my phasing-out of being a Browns fan will be complete!

MoC--3rd Round Pick (merged)

Denver picks up MoC...last pick of the 3rd round.

Un-frickin-real. Man, has he been given a second chance in life or what?

Three interesting things about this pick.

1. That offensive line should help him quite a bit.

2. That thin air is that last thing his oxygen deprived brain needs.

3. He is a perfect match for Big Money Gerard Warren.

This is a good situation for Mo with Denvers history with RB's. Hopefully he can straighten up and become a good NFL back. He's done us wrong, but I still wish him the best in the NFL.

Wow!!!!

The Broncos?

 

[Bucklion]

Now that's what I call a gamble (and not of the Chris variety). I suppose they are looking for another Terrell Davis-like diamond in the rough. Of course, they could have a maggot in the rough too...I guess time will tell.

It almost seemed like the guys on ESPiN were pissed that he got picked so high.
Not just surprised, but pissed.

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

He goes to the best place for running backs. This could be huge for Mo if he can stay healthy.

I've been telling everyone who would listen that he'd go earlier than expected. There are two things to know about the movers and shakers of the NFL: They are paranoid and arrogant. Paranoid that if they don't take an early chance on a guy like Clarett, thier rival will, and it will haunt them. Arrogant in that everyone thinks they are better equipped than others to deal with guys like Clarett. It's the same reason McGahee went in the first round a few years back, and the same reason Frank Gore got picked over several other healthier backs.

Hey - there is no way to characterize this other than as a shocker, a surprise.
