Also, with that type of character, is Vegas really a fit? It could lead to a lot of FA busts. Vegas lifestyle was why I was so happy we had choir boys in AC/DC and the Mack attack...whoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the problems? Gambling? Guys could do that online. Prostitution? It’s legal there which would be better than them trying to get it a la bobby kraft. Crime? The team is leaving Oakland, Chicago and Detroit are worse and it’s not a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A city that not only caters to vices but relishes in it with more people coming and going than Hollywood. Hollywood is where the rich and famous become morons, Vegas can do that to the average Joe. Great place to visit but better have your vices under control if living there. Pretty sure prostitution is not legal inside Vegas city limits. (State ok but not Vegas lol, unbelievable) Doubt they enforce it much by the amount of streetwalkers I see on Tropicana on the way to the gym. Jeepers Creepers cover little Jonny’s peepers. Lol I hope you’re right about it being overblown. We will find out soon enough. We’re drafting high character guys so it shouldn’t be an issue and it’s easy to avoid the strip/tourist areas. Yet still, it concerns me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones played well in the preseason and Jacksonville's DL is good. I'm surprised he's still available. If Orchard can play a LB role, I wouldn't hate it. We're stupid thin there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what are the requirements for PG's system at S because he's 6"1/211. That's bigger than Abram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bigger than Abram. He would be the 5th DB/LB hybrid. Do not know if he has anything left but he would have been great a few years ago.

Geezy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) the more i think about it, the more i want Clowney! Hed give us a legit stud at DE, can play the run with the best of em and get to the QB, Clowney, Ferrell and Crosby would be a very nice trio, id also keep Mauro. I then would go get the best WR available in the draft, the take my chances on a guy like Dylan Moses that would fill out 3 biggest needs with STUDS Edited October 10, 2019 by Geezy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other city in the world is like that. Alcohol leads to idiotic decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other city in the world is like that. Alcohol leads to idiotic decisions. There is a lot of stuff to do in Vegas. There is more to do there than in most NFL cities. The issue is that alcohol and a party lifestyle are very easily accessible to go along with those other things. I doubt many of the players will live in Vegas year round when you could live in southern California through spring and the early summer months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep Mayowa also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
