    Read a great article on this the other day.

    Relationships with the colleges matter a ton. Its not just because theyre alabama players that he ignores off field stuff. He has sources there beyond the coach and players. He knows professors, janitors, secretaries, etc... taht he can ask how these kids are when no ones watching. how they are in class. are these problems big or no.

    How many alabama players have we drafted then went on to get arrested or cause head aches? If ozzie trusts his sources at bama and theyve never steered him wrong on a players character, and maybe HAVE steered him away from talented bama players in the past -- its not trust the player or overlooking the red flags, its just getting deep information that he trusts.

    He may not know a soul at Ole Miss and couldnt get anything reliable on Tunsil, or this player or that player.

    Its not hypocritical at all.

     

    Im sure youre quicker to forgive a brother, sister, friend, cousin, etc... for doing the same exact thing than you would a stranger. because you have the context of the mistake, you know it doesnt define that person, and others you trust also still like that person. the stranger you have no context, whether this was an isolated incident or just the 1st time they were caught -- and even if ppl tell you otherwise, if you dont know THEM well you dont know if they have alternative motives (like hyping up your program by pushing a player in the 1st round).

    Ozzie has solid sources at Bama to vet this stuff that he just doesnt otherwise. Im sure Michigan is the same too. Peppers and Jourdan Lewis may not be any lower on our board than they were before, while others with similar issues may have fallen. Or maybe they did fall bc Jim verified that theyre both punks. But i guarantee theyre more confident in their evals of the Michigan kids than they are the Ohio state.

    Albert Breer's mock has this little nugget.

    16. Ravens: Alabama LB Reuben Foster. No one gets more background on Bama players than Ozzie Newsome. And I hear he’s OK with Foster’s flags

    La Canfora says something similar in his mock.

    16. Baltimore Ravens

    Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama: Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome is Crimson Tide to his core, and he loves the way this kid plays. There are some red flags but everything I've heard leads me to believe this team is comfortable with him. Sure, a pass catcher makes sense, but I don't see that happening unless Mike Williams is on the board.

    Tennessee leaning toward Mike Williams with pick five according to Walter Football

    Many sources are reporting on their interest in Mike I think it's legit. Although 5 seems a bit high for him. I think they'll try and trade down and take him.

    So reportedly the Browns are talking to 4 teams in the top 8 with the Titans at 5 being one of them. Titans are reportedly high on Mike Williams and don't have a second round pick. Trade would make sense for both teams. Browns get Trubisky at 5 and Titans get Mike Williams at 12 plus extra picks.
