I just don’t want you to be leery. Rest your leers. I am here to provide you comfort. Don’t curse. It is not necessary. 

You only know those guys because they panned out. Nobody keeps track of all the highly-drafted JUCOs who bombed like Kevin White, Cordarrelle Patterson, Sylvester Williams, or Randy Gregory unless you really go looking for them.

EDIT: Forgot Damarious Randall, too.

I know those guys as well. There are guys from every school that don’t pan out even in the SEC. It’s all a gamble. Rest those leers.

You're right, guys don't pan out all the time, why bother trying to figure out which guys are more likely to pan out or not

I never said you shouldn’t but if you want to be leery over a guy because of other players from a JC that didn’t pan out and ignore the successes of the ones that did, that is your prerogative.

You don't know what the word "leery" means, do you

I mean I had Montez Sweat as a top-10 pick when he came out, saying I'm leery of JUCO prospects doesn't mean I think they're trash. Feels like you're projecting your own insecurities with drafting onto me, bro.

Nice reach. I gave you Rodgers and you said he wasn’t a relevant example so I gave you more. Kevin White has injury issues and Gregory had substance abuse issues. So using them as two of your failure examples coming from a Juco is another reach.

White was bad even without the injuries. I always thought Gregory was overrated as a prospect.

Noting you didn't say anything about dudes like Patterson tho.

Patterson I was not very high on. And he played one year of Division 1 ball. That’s a bit different than a DT in Nixon having three seasons in a division 1 program receiving division one technique development and coaching.
