He cut his hair over a year ago no (jelly?)? I was more referring to placement in the draft.

I would be surprised if Clark gets drafted. More than a few scouts said he blamed the woman in his most recent domestic violence issue. I'd also be kind of surprised if he gets drafted, based on the way the league is trying to distance itself from domestic violence. That said, something about the case against Clark bothers me. You can read the police report here and there are some disturbing notes early -- the victim's siblings yelling that Clark was killing her and that he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her down -- but the victim's own explanation for what happened is where I have an issue: Now, I shouldn't have to say this, but I will. Obviously choking, slapping, or punching a women at any point is wrong, and Clark never should have done any of that. And I know that victims of abuse will sometimes still try to protect their abuser, so we can't necessarily take what she said as gospel. But if what she said is true...then I guess I just don't understand how the criminal justice system works. If a stranger, man or woman, came up to you and threw a TV remote at you, and then bit you in the nose when you tried to restrain them...wouldn't you have the right to fight back? Again, as a huge, athletic guy he wasn't in any real danger, and he should never have done anything physical to her, but are you really not allowed to fight back in any way, legally? Is it just because they're in a relationship? Because again, if this were just a stranger, I feel like you'd be allowed to fight back. I don't know...every incident like this is obviously complicated, and the cops saw fit to arrest him, so I guess I have to trust their judgment. If Clark really was blaming his girlfriend, then I'd stay away from him simply for the lack of intelligence he showed in saying that, but if that police report is true...I can't really argue with him. He cut his hair over a year ago no (jelly?)? I was more referring to placement in the draft. My guess is he goes somewhere between the 5th and 7th rounds. Probably to be a special teamer who might crack the starting lineup in a year or two.

Waynes was projected by just about everyone as the best CB in the draft. He was expected to run in the 4.4s and blew it away.

It's a valid point but a point that gets you painted as an abuser.
