2014 NFL Draft: Rounds 2-3

[Dirtbag59]

Not to unleash my inner Kindergarten Ninja but as much as I love Jordan Reed I'm concerned about his durability going forward as was shown in a chart posted a couple weeks earlier. Right now I'm seeing the following available:

Colt Lyerla {TE Oregon}
Arthur Lynch {TE UGA}
Jake Pedersen {TE Wisc}

Lyerla would be extremely tempting if we didn't have Reed but obviously if your trying to find a 2nd TE and your 1st one is mostly a receiver you want someone thats a little bit of a blocker. Not to mention scouts Inc gave Lyerla the worst possible grade for intangibles 5 which translates to marginal (1 is exceptional and the highest rating)

There are questions concerning his ability to handle authority and his commitment to football. Oregon head coach described Lyerla's absence as "circumstances" following 2013 Tennessee game. Lyerla complained to The Oregonian newspaper that he felt description could be unfairly interpreted. Suspended for the 2013 Colorado game for violating team rules. Left Oregon for personal reasons the following week. Arrested on charges of unlawful possession of cocaine and interfering with a police officer October, 2013. Plead guilty to cocaine possession December, 2013. Sentenced to 10 days in jail and 10 days suspended Eugene Register-Guard reported. Posted tweets supporting conspiracy theories surrounding Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and later apologized.

On second thought I say steer clear of Lyerla. Seems like Jeremy Stevens Jr.
