As I'm studying potential draft prospects for the Giants, I came across a name that gets precious little attention and nearly every board fails to even include his name in the top 300 or even 400
I was thinking this guy is a great "sleeper pick" (he actually has risen 294 spots in the last week on one board), but the more I researched, the more I realized the Giants would NEVER take a guy with this much baggage
Anyway, the guy's name is Shemar Turner, a 6'4, 290 lb DE for Texas A&M. He leads the team in every category including tackles, TFLs, QB hits, and sacks. He's a monster at DE who brings terror to the offense. Sounds like a perfect pickup to replace our loss of Leo. But hold on...he was ejected from the game with Ole Miss a while back when he took a cheap shot after the play (ok...crap happens, and he apologized). I can deal with that, just needs discipline from a strong coach like Wink. But then I looked deeper, and he's been arrested for reckless driving while going way over the speed limit...and (and this is a big "and") was found with a little less than 2 oz of pot AND "possession of an illegal substance ranging from four to 400 grams - the latter charge is a second-degree felony". In short: takes cheap shots at other players, speeds, has drug issues, and is bankrupt in character (at least it seems)
My first thought: Giants would never go for a person with that much baggage. My second thought: SOB, the Cowboys will draft this guy in the 7th round, typical of Jerry Jones, and he'll be a star and a mainstay like Micah Parsons (and a dozen players in the past with shady history) ~X(

Classic Cowboy. Some guys like this listen to coaching. Many do not. Keep that in mind. He may be doing well at A&M because of pure talent but in NFL getting better is what you makes you a star.
Yeah, stop reminding me that Giants passed up a chance to get Penn State's Micah Parsons. lol
