BuffalothruMyVeins Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 The good news is that he is compared to Erin Hernandez. The bad news is that he is compared to Erin Hernandez  Well, at least he's not compared to Aaron Hernandez... That would be a MAJOR red flag.
Doc Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 If the Bills get a comp 7th, as some are saying they might, I'd use it on him. It's actually cheaper than signing him as an UDFA, and you are assured of getting him (assuming he's there).
RuntheDamnBall Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I guess I will be the guy to remind everyone that the best defensive player in the history of this franchise supposedly enjoyed the booger sugar as well. That didn't stop him from being a football player. Â Just sayin. A little coke isn't the certain death of a career. But it could be. Bruce was suspended for it. I would not be surprised if MANY more of the SB era Bills used and have heard rumors about some of them from Fredonia and otherwise. Â The good news is that he is compared to Erin Hernandez. The bad news is that he is compared to Erin Hernandez Who is she?

3rdand12 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 hard drugs. bad. repetitive bad behavour . again bad. quitting. bad . nothing good here but wishing and dreams. But i am glad we have the chance to check out these longshots now an again. poor kid
Estro Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 I think his physical condition at the combine will determine whether or not he is draftable. If he's out of shape he's doomed. If he comes in and looks talented I'd have no problem spending a 5th on him.
Doc Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 no comp pick coming this year it seems Yep, saw that earlier. Maybe trade down earlier in the draft for an extra 7th?

Estro Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Yep, saw that earlier. Maybe trade down earlier in the draft for an extra 7th? Liked the way Alan Branch played, but at the time of his signing I was a bit steamed because I knew it'd cost the Bills a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick this year (Levitre leaving).
Thurman#1 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) But he didn't quit the team. Plus, he was a Heisman type player as a defender. He also was messing with the green. not the best but the white is another level.  In what way did he not quit the team?  I don’t think anyone questions the talent that Colt has. The problem is that his off field issues negate his talent. Using a draft pick on him would most likely be a waste. As he seems determined to self destruct. He has an incredibly long history of legal run ins, spiraling worse and worse. He is facing a felony cocaine charge. The legal system and the judge bent over backwards to give him a break, allowing him to avoid a felony conviction for drug possession and use and fleeing arrest when he was first caught. All he had to do was complete a drug addiction treatment program and they were willing to drop the charges. He refused the opportunity multiple times. The judge has lost patience with him, which is a very bad sign. Unless Colt admits his problem and is willing to overcome it, he will be just another another chapter in the tragedy stories of talented athletes that have destroyed themselves. And he has shown no inclination to even try to save himself.   In fairness, the reason he kept turning down that treatment programs was that it would have meant he couldn't leave the state and he wanted to go train at one of those pre-draft training places, where he is now, that was out of state and he wanted to go to the combine.  I don't see them taking this guy except maybe as a UDFA, and I'd guess he gets drafted late by somebody willing to take a chance. He's got the ability.  I'm not sure there's enough structure yet in the locker room, enough strong leaders. You've got Freddy and Kyle but after that, who? The leaders we had weren't strong enough to get Dareus to toe the line in terms of lateness.  I don't see it, though I could be wrong, obviously.   Bucky Brooks interviewed a couple of scouts about the guy, wondering whether he was a guy who'd had one problem or whether he'd had consistent stuff coming up. Here are the quotes:  "NFC South Scout:  "He's a big-time player. ... Strong, athletic with good hands. ... He's a plyometric freak (running and jumping) with remarkable athletic ability. ... If he puts it all together, he could be a monster at the next level."  "Character assessment: "'He's going to be a problem. He reportedly has some issues with alcohol, fights and other stuff at school. ... Bad dude. ... Nothing malicious, but the kind of stuff that makes you worry about how he will handle the pro lifestyle. ... He has a tendency to go off the rails when he leaves a structured environment.'"   "NFC North scout:  "The kid comes from a tough background and is a bit of a problem child. ... He really struggles when he gets away from a structured environment. In fact, the coaching staff constantly worried about his whereabouts and dealings whenever he was away from campus on extended breaks. Now, I would worry about bringing him into my building, but he is definitely a big-time talent with the potential to become a special player as a pro, if it comes together."  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000269364/article/former-oregon-te-colt-lyerla-poses-dilemma-for-nfl-teams Edited February 11, 2014 by Thurman#1

nemhoff Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Cocaine - no thanks And he did quit on his team - no thanks Somebody will take him early and will be massively disappointed - no thanks If you watched the ducks this year, especially the first half of the season, colt did not impress, lots of drops Â

Maybe he could move in with Scott Chandler this summer and learn how to farm in the midwest away from the influences. Chandler might be a very good role model and mentor some one like Colt .
Pete Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 People are out of their minds if they think they can get Colt in the 7th. He is too talented. I say he lasts no longer then the 3rd. And you know he will kill it at the combine and boost his stock
Acantha Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 People are out of their minds if they think they can get Colt in the 7th. He is too talented. I say he lasts no longer then the 3rd. And you know he will kill it at the combine and boost his stock I think he'll go a little lower. Based on talent, Rogers should have been drafted much higher last year but didn't get drafted at all. Lyerla is a train wreck...he'll get knocked to the bottom half of the draft I think.

YoloinOhio Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Apparently, this guy had an outburst about Sandy Hook being a conspiracy. That came up during the combine.
