I’ve ignored the conversation long enough. After reading Mike Mayock’s final mock draft at NFL.com, I can’t ignore it any longer.
The veteran prognosticator projects LSU running back Derrius Guice to the Eagles with the final pick of Round 1 in Thursday’s NFL Draft. The selection is plausible. The explanation is asinine.
“He’s a north-south slasher and a tough guy. He finishes runs. He’s had some off-field issues. The reason I love this pick? Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley will get him going in the right direction,” he wrote.
Off-field issues?
The media echo-chamber can be a funny place.
