Cook and Mixon will - most likely - be there.....

grizz299 : 4/22/2017 9:43 am
They are dropping like a parachuter whose chute won't open.
The video of Mixon's punch was scary...I'm an ex pug, I can tell when a man knows what he's doing, the right-hand cross he hit that woman with could have been lethal.
This is an unverified quote from another site:
"I've seen some places where scouts say Cook off the field stuff is way worse then Mixon's. It was reported that Cook has had 2 incidents with violence towards women, had to have some animals rescued from his property for improper care and multiple gun incidents. Great talent but tons of red flags."

I've also read repeatedly that Cook interviews badly.

So if they're there, do we want people like this in blue?
No way...

You don't use your 1st round pick on players with a history of character issues or substance abuse. The team needs great players who will on the field on Sundays (i.e., not on the suspension list).
Another one dropping is Rueben Foster  
Jim in Forest Hills : 4/22/2017 9:50 am : link
Who was my favorite LB prospect but seemingly out of reach. Now seeing it written he will be there at 23 and may slide into rd 2.

The combine altercation and now the news of the diluted urine has scared people. Plus now he is the "benefactor" of having the best DL in front of him.

I'd be estatic with Foster TBH at 23. I've wanted a MLB like him for a long time.

As far as Mixon and Cook, I think the Giants stay away, especially after the Josh Brown fiasco. Can't blame them one bit.

I prefer a clean player who can be depended upon to not be suspended in the future, especially in the 1st.
I just don't see how the upside is worth the potential downside

we have Perkins who ran well behind a bad line. The run blocking should be better. Get good, quality players who aren't pieces of shit.
I would take Foster in round 2

Love Mixon. Hes going to be a beast for some team. Compares to David Johnson. What he did was really bad, but an isolated incident. No reason to think hes going to be punching people in the future. With that said, doubt we draft him considering the Josh Brown drama the Giants just got through.
How many ways can we ask the same question?

Ms. Molitor took the hush money...  
Sasuke : 4/22/2017 10:12 am : link

"I am happy we were able to bring the lawsuit to an end. Joe and I were able to meet privately, without any attorneys, and talk about our experiences since that night. I am encouraged that we will both be able to move forward from here with our lives, From our private discussions I am satisfied that we are going to put this behind us and work towards helping others who may have found themselves in similar circumstances. I greatly appreciate his apology and I think the feelings he expressed were sincere. We both could have handled things differently. I believe if we had a chance to go back to that moment in time, the situation would not have ended the way it did. Going forward, Joe and I agreed we needed to move on from this situation and focus on the future. I'm now planning to attend graduate school. I still plan to speak out and support other people, whether on college campuses or elsewhere, who are faced with overcoming difficult circumstances that have attracted intense public scrutiny. I'm finished talking about what happened that night with Joe. It's time to move on from that. I wish Joe the best of luck in his future." - In a statement made by Mia Molitor

A Poster of the original article made this point: "Yes Women keep accepting hush money while fighting for women's rights. Let me know how that goes..."

I tried to explain this from a different perspective, but i'm done with that, in light of this I would say to everyone claiming they don't want this kid on the team... He is a top 15 prospect, arguably 2a/2b out of the top 3 RB's, this team needs another RB.

If he's there in the 4th since you all are so sensitive he is a no brainer pick we have missed on 90% of our fourth rounder's since 1990 (slight exaggeration) this kid would be the biggest steal, even if he's there in the 3rd round he's a huge steal.

I hope the giants draft him and whenever he scores a touchdown for this team if he's drafted I'll cheer extra hard for you guys who will grumble and kick your cans over cause the guy you hate more than Brock Turner is helping the team you claim to love so much.

Looking at the measurable, the production, draft grade... there is more of a guarantee to his upside than the possibility of his downside.

Players understand money right? His Agent if he's a good one is telling him hey... your actions kicked you out of the first round...second and third possibly. Thats this much money you lost, if you don't miss a meeting, don't get in trouble, don't be late for anything show up play up to your talent and more for 3-4 years I can get you the money you lost and then some on your next contract
Mixon is Nothing Like Phillips  
HugeS : 4/22/2017 11:02 am : link
A better player comp to Lawrence Phillips would be Leonard Fournette, a large powerful sledgehammer of a runner with an upright style who demolishes tacklers at the second level. Mixon is a finesse guy who uses quickness and burst to find the crease and avoid direct contact. Also wasn't Phillips a wannabe gang banger like Hernandez? Mixon may be an entitled A*@hole with serious anger management issues but as far as I know he comes from a pretty normal background. Nevertheless I wouldn't want the Giants to entertain drafting him.

Scouts and Analyst who get their information from scouts are not usually wrong about top prospects. sure there is room for error see ron dayne, but this kid is compared to david johnson, played in a tough division, can run out of the zone and man blocking schemes, can catch out of the backfield, runs good clean routes, is above avg blocking can get better at that. he is an every down back, who prior to the incident was ranked 1,2 or 3 depending on the scout grading.

Yes.... read and comprehend it is a hypothetical, the downside is that he will hit a woman again seeing as he hit a woman in the past. there is no evidence to state that this will happen AGAIN! or that he would manifest these behaviors AGAIN!

I'm not familiar with any of gang-banging issues with Phillips, only that he was a misogynist with anger issues that he couldn't get over.
That's the only downside?

Apples and oranges - Ray Rice was already on the downside of his career, coming off a season where he had faded. RBs at that point of their playing careers have a hard time getting jobs even with a clean record.

I think he'll go in the 3 or 4th at the latest. The teams with lots of comp picks will burn one. Don't know if the Vikings fall into that group but they have been floating out stories about taking players that won't be popular with fans, easing in to the PR uproar that's going to follow.
Certainly Mixon, but probably also Cook . . . .

On the field as well..however along with the off the field concerns... hes had THREE shoulder injuries. Seems like a huge risk... but if all that checks out.. either him or Mixon would be awesome. Thing is at 23, the only way a top 10 talent is going to reach us is if there are red flags with the player. So teams can't be super critical otherwise they'll miss out on some game changers.

I would not be one bit upset if the Giants passed on both of these guys. I would absolutely shit if they took Mixon, and I would be a little worried, but I would trust their judgement if they took Cook.

Has great cutting ability, strong, shifty, can catch, runs good routes, patient to let blocks form, can make something out of nothing in the back field.

the one problem in his game is being too patient at times on stretch run plays and taking the first hole he sees, which can be coached

He is a very talented prospect and would cut the need for 5 RB's on this team.

If he is there at good value I hope the giants get him, and get someone to be on top of him so that he stays out of trouble, put clauses in his contract.

Putting clauses in his contract does not protect the Giants from wasting a pick. ASSUME he is picked at 23 or 55 and signs this clause filled contract. If he gets in trouble, for violent behavior and the Giants release him as they did Josh Brown, the Giants will have still wasted a first or second round pick and will also be on the hook for any signing bonus. If he is suspended we still lose his services for that time. What good would it do the Giants to save $500,000 or $1,000,000 if they lose the services of a top pick?

I don't think it's a guarantee but weve seen NY engulf players before and it's flat out different than living and playing in Arizona. That isn't even the reason I wouldn't draft him, but it's on the laundry list of reasons why I wouldn't.

Saying that the press gets players in trouble is not the point. But there are more media outlets in NY then most of the leagues cities, maybe more than any. That means more coverage, more times he'll have to answer the same questions on his maturity and on the video of him striking a woman. Each time the question is asked is another opportunity for him to test his self control.

Putting clauses in his contract does not protect the Giants from wasting a pick. ASSUME he is picked at 23 or 55 and signs this clause filled contract. If he gets in trouble, for violent behavior and the Giants release him as they did Josh Brown, the Giants will have still wasted a first or second round pick and will also be on the hook for any signing bonus. If he is suspended we still lose his services for that time. What good would it do the Giants to save $500,000 or $1,000,000 if they lose the services of a top pick?

And what if he doesn't get in trouble which is the reasons for clauses. The kid already lost a lot of money and he knows it, money is the common denominator for most of these athletes and if you threaten it they shape up 90% of the time. its a risk worth taking.

Tell me the last time one of jerry's 3-4th round picks panned out? i'll wait



So if Mixon is picked in the 3rd or 4th you expect him to be a bust?


If Mixon lasts to the end of round 2 which I personally dont see happening it would be a steal thereafter

A player can get in trouble in Arizona just as much as they can in NY,NV or Cali



I don't think it's a guarantee but weve seen NY engulf players before and it's flat out different than living and playing in Arizona. That isn't even the reason I wouldn't draft him, but it's on the laundry list of reasons why I wouldn't.


If a player wants to party and get into situations that would lead to trouble he can do that anywhere. NY is not this sharks cove that people make it out to be. The media is globally sinister.

Saying that the press gets players in trouble is not the point. But there are more media outlets in NY then most of the leagues cities, maybe more than any. That means more coverage, more times he'll have to answer the same questions on his maturity and on the video of him striking a woman. Each time the question is asked is another opportunity for him to test his self control.



And... so what? the giants have PR reps for that, they can prep him for those questions... the giants have leaders in the locker room that can deflect those questions, are you implying that the kid would be a locker room cancer cause of the incident or that this magical distraction we love to bring up as a debate stopper would affect the giants or any team?

A player is a cancer because his attitude states that, the kid will walk into any locker room and be humbled if he is truly past his transgressions.

you have reading comprehension problems.

I said he would be a steal in 3-4th round if the fall due to the incident actually transpires.

'PERSONALLY' I don't thin he wold last to the end of the 2nd round in which if he does it would be a steal from that point there after in any round

Okay, I accept your submission on this debate. I will leave it with this, just as easily as you all are saying he is a risk is as easy as saying he wont be a risk, you and I have no clue.

Based on the upside of what we can see and has been measured by NFL standards of evaluating the value is greater than the potential downside of what we don't know.. objective > subjective

Mixon does not have a history of domestic violence outside of this incident which is now deemed isolated. He like ray rice didn't just start waling on this girl over words it was an exchange of assaults in which both were wrong and she even stated that in her statement.

If they can get over it and move on, some of you can do so too. get over it!

josh brown stated that the Giants knew about his incidents well before the reports came out, they only nixed him after the scrutiny came.

The media knows about this, she's over it, she took the hush money and even made a hush statement. He's over it hasn't been in trouble since if i recall correctly and did his community service, served his suspension and volunteered with organizations to help troubled youths... yet you guys want to continually crucify him.

I don't know what to tell you man. BBI votes won't be why we do or don't draft Mixon. I personally don't want him on this team. I see why others do, I just don't, it is what it is.

A woman of 100 pounds can launch a punch with enough force and velocity at the right area to knock you out, I saw a video online where a woman closed fist punched a guy 20+ time in the face and back of the head, I've seen online again a teenager female bullying a boy hitting, pushing kicking while these millennials are laughing/recording instead of stopping it.

Whether you like it or not in certain states ms. molitor could of been charged with battery at most assault. regardless of weight, height, gender.

i refuse to go into why she wasn't charged with anything thats a different topic, why did it take this long to settle? why now so close to the draft? what happened to standing up for woman's rights and the fight against domestic violence, what will her followers say now that she took the money and vowed to move on? is she a sell out? is she wrong?

I won't judge her decisions, just like i wont judge mixon's as I have been put in that situation where a woman threw an object at me and busted my lip and for a minute i wanted to bust hers, but I called the cops instead and got kicked out of my own apartment for the night.

People react differently when angry and emotions are flared, i am not going back into this. it over she made a statement, shes over it, hes over it, she gave him a clean statement whether it was written by her or her lawyer it doesn't matter, she too the money, her pride and moral standing had a price in the end.

Good. It would be pure conjecture on your part anyway. Unless you have inside information you earlier claimed not to have. Oh, this paragraph makes your next sentence a little ironic. I won't judge her decisions .

I really am glad you didn't feel justified to smack her around some. I wonder if that experience makes you defend Mixon. You must've been pissed getting kicked out of you apartment after she attacked you. To be treated so unfairly with no recourse. I wonder if this is why you defend Mixon so vigorously.

Yes people react differently while under stress. Some say that this is when a person's true character is revealed. What did it reveal about Mixon's? He may very well need real help to deal with his anger. He does not need enablers.

I'm done now. I only rejoined the thread because somehow you claimed victory when I left earlier. So this time I will be clear. I don't want Mixon on the Giants. I think he is a suspension waiting to happen, at minimum, and I feel sorry for the next woman that gets in his way.

Take Mixon or Cook in the first round???  
Vanzetti : 4/23/2017 12:25 am : link
Is this a real thread?

There is a greater chance that the Giants try to convert Eli to LT and make Flowers a WR, than the Giants drafting Cook or Mixon at 23. Especially Mixon.

So you are saying you dont trust the Giants PR team? or that the coach,owners, or GM can't get this under wrap?

you are right I don't know NY media, im not anyone of importance to know the NY media, here is how fandom works if he comes here the media will say what they want the minute he goes out there and scores a TD it disappears thats how fickle fans are; morally higher than thou until the player does good by them and they all fall in line.

I defend whats right, women cannot go around just hitting men and think its okay, they cannot just go around thinking they are immediately the victim because they are women.

you as a man claiming that they are always the victim is inadvertently misogynistic.

I talked about this rave of women hitting men on video on the internet, this is creating a culture than makes it okay for women to hit men, but bad when those men retaliate.


should he have used the full force of that slap No! but i did see him try to walk away, I did see him pull back his initial intention to hit after being struck first, and i can also understand that in the heat of the moment with angers flared its not a shoeing of true character its a showing of being angry at the moment.

just cause you do something out of emotions whether it be love, anger etc... is not your true character as these emotions forces human beings to do uncharacteristic things; thats like saying a man who kills another man after finding out that man had sex with his wife, was a murder all along and just needed the medium to do it. thats asinine.
RE: Cook  
section125 : 4/23/2017 1:17 pm : link
talked a friend that knows a lot of FSU guys. What Dave-TE wrote is true about Cook and his "entourage." Cook still has friends on the wrong side in Miami that he still hangs with.
Cook is being looked at by Philly, DC and GB - Giants just called once and never again. Green Bay apparently really interested.
Three shoulder surgeries are a big cause for concern by teams.

Said Cook is not a bad guy, but needs to get away from is old crowd.
