Adarius Bowman.

Yes he just got in trouble but the guy is stellar and would be a steal in the 3rd round or later. Super size, hands, route running and just good. He had over 300 yds in one game receiving at KU. Worst case scenario is a good #2 but really has the potential to be a #1. Skins should nab him.

Ran a 4.74 at the combine, has bad hands, and this arrest should drop him totally out of the first 5 rounds(if not the whole draft). He's a good route runner with good size, but too many question marks. We shouldn't think about taking him until after pick 150.

No way, unless he is still around in the 6th or 7th round, which he probably won't be.

late rounder now

Whoever gets him will get a super receiver at great value. Obviously I'm partial being an Oklahoma St grad but this guy has been money the last few years in every game. He's worth at least a 5th or later now because of his troubles. Wouldn't be surprised if he does very well in the pros.

I really don't care at all if a player smokes pot, especially someone in college, but to get arrested for it, not just once but twice..? You got to be pretty 'effing stupid or terribly unlucky to get nailed for that. Especially, with the possibility of a pro career hanging in the balance.

Agreed. He's not the sharpest knife in the box but this recent arrest really got me thinking about his value and how we could get a helluva wr late late in the draft. His status will be hurt by his recent minor legal troubles and his 40 time. 5 years from now that won't matter.

i dont know.. the dude lost a ton of money with this foolishness.

not sure i want to spend a first day pick on a guy who uses poor judgment

Late rounder, maybe, I just don't see us taking any slow receivers in the early rounds.

lorimike · #10 04-06-2008, 10:32 AM

Just what every team needs. A slow pot smokin receiver. I wouldn't sign him as a undrafted rookie. This is a guy who was one of the top recruits coming out of High School but was kicked off the North Carolina team for marijuana possesion and trasferred to Oklahoma State. Some guys never change and I can see this player will always be in trouble.

Late enough OK (remember that Sapp fell on marijuana). His speed give legit ?s about separation, but for a 5th or later an acceptable risk if WR not selected earlier (then I would want OL).

BraveHeartFan · #12 04-11-2008, 06:27 PM

I've seen him on several occassions, watching OSU games, and then watched him at the Senior Bowl and the Combine and I've got to say I wouldn't want him as anything more than my 3rd or 4th reciever, at best.

His hands are very questionable and he's much slower than you'd like at the WR position.

joethefan · #13 04-15-2008, 12:04 AM

pass ...any guy that stupid to get in trouble after staring at possible millions isn't worth the pick.....

I do understand the inportance of giving people second chances but maybe his second chance comes in the 7th round....or a Undrafted FA

Forget about Warren Sapp....this guy has Anquan Boldin written all over him. Boldin ran 4.75 and failed drug test as well.

I could see him really turning into a Brandon Marshall/Anquan Boldin type player. This guy is a stud and is going to be a steal for someone...hopefully we pick him up

But Bowman has other major problems than just his pot arrest. Sapp was undeniably a major talent, Boldin was talented enough to merit a 2nd round pick-despite being a QB for a couple years, running a bad 40 and his pot issues. Bowman, even before this arrest, was a 5th-6th rounder.
