Ole Miss T Laremy Tunsil arrested for domestic assault
Nick Bromberg By Nick Bromberg

Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil was arrested after a Thursday night domestic assault incident.

Tunsil was reportedly defending his mother from his stepfather while at her house. He turned himself in to police and was arrested for a misdemeanor simple assault domestic violence charge. From ESPN:

"His stepfather shoved his mom and Laremy punched him," a source said. "It's as simple as that. He was defending his mother."
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze issued a statement about Tunsil's arrest on Saturday.

"We can confirm that Laremy Tunsil turned himself in and was arrested for misemeanor, domestic violence simple assault," Freeze's statement said. "The incident occurred Thursday night and involves Laremy defending his mother against his stepfather. Laremy realizes he could have handled it differently, but I'm proud of him for standing up for his mother and protecting his family. Laremy and his mother have pressed charges against the stepfather. As we gather more facts we will act and make decisions accordingly."

The Oxford Police Department told both ESPN and the Jackson Clarion-Ledger that the arrest report for Tunsil would be available on Monday.

Tunsil was a first-team all-SEC player in 2014 and was injured in the Rebels' season-ending loss to TCU in the Peach Bowl. Despite the ankle injury, he is considered one of the best returning offensive linemen in the country in 2015 and a possible high draft pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

He was a five-star recruit in the class of 2013 and the No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 14 prospect overall according to Rivals.

Good analysis of Connor Cook by Dane Brugler of CBSSports.com

Link to his analysis of all Mich State prospects:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25235286/nfl-draft-michigan-state-preview

Connor Cook, QB, Redshirt Senior (6-4, 220, 4.89)
The top senior quarterback prospect entering this season, Cook might have been a top-20 pick if he declared early for the 2015 NFL Draft, but instead returns to East Lansing for his senior year. While he has his flaws, Cook shows a number of reasons to be encouraged about his potential in the NFL. He possesses ideal size for the next level with the build to take consistent punishment, including as a short-yardage rusher with his deceiving athleticism. Cook scans the entire field and is a confident passer to all levels, showing touch, anticipation and toughness in the pocket. He has effortless arm strength when he steps into his throws with proper mechanics and torque through his hips to deliver the proper trajectory on downfield passes. Bottom line with Cook, he has the physical traits ideally suited for the pro game with tape that shows off a number of NFL throws.

On the flipside, Cook does need to improve in several areas as a senior to lock himself in as a prospect worthy of first round status in the 2016 NFL Draft. Once moved from his original spot, he attempts to “arm” everything and abandon his base footwork, often content making throws with his weight falling away from his target. Cook isn't fully comfortable with a muddy pocket, which forces his eye level to wander and confuses his internal clock. He will make a handful of high risk throws each game and is too willing to deliver into high traffic areas, which contributes to his slightly below average career completion percentage (57.5%). Seven of Cook's eight interceptions in 2014 came on the road and scouts will be eager to see how he performs this season in hostile environments at Michigan (Oct. 17), at Nebraska (Nov. 7) and at Ohio State (Nov. 21).

3 names to watch:

Prescott QB Miss State
Hogan QB Stanford
Kessler QB USC

I would say TBD but with a season that matches their talent, possibly.

I would not touch another USC QB if you gave me an extra first rounder for taking him.

Kessler has 2 black marks in my book. USC and 6'1". It would only take 1 to cross him off my list.

...or WR.

The history has been pretty bad over the last 15 years or so, but I think Marqise Lee and Nelson Agholor might turn the trend around. I am pretty high on Agholor, I think he improved a lot during his last year at So Cal. I am curious to see what he does with the Eagles.

Who does THIRD PERSON have the One Gas Station town near Milwaukee Packers selection
Iz clueless.
So much time and so many unknowns between here and next May to even begin to guess - and then have to channel that shitferbrains GM Terd Thompson into the mix AT THAT TIME.

Recommended players will start flowing from the HYATT™ keyboard in late February, and by mid-April the predictions and HYATT™ final pre-draft report should be nearing completion.

Clever, remembering to include the fact that Hoodie will lose his highest Rd 1 draft pick next year.

True dat...

With their defense and their declining 38 year old one man team missing two or more games via cheating suspension, there is only one person who can keep them from forfeiting the highest pick in this division

That person is WRECKS

Pfft, if history is any guide, the bastich will end up owning the next pick after the one he forfeits anyway.

The ruling was NE's Rd 1 pick.
It didn't say their originally awarded spot, which will be #32.
Suppose he somehow manages to turn his pick into a pair of Rd 2 picks before the draft, which pick does NE lose THEN?

Evil-EL at the podium in 2016:

"NE forfeits their Rd 1 pick.
NE no longer has a Rd 1 pick.
Next up on the clock is NE, with the Rd 2-#33 pick in the 2016 draft."

So you're picking them to win the super bowl next year?

Hyatt, you can't trade something that doesn't belong to you. There are only going to be 31 selections in 2016. It'll be as if the Pats don't exist.

No, I just got momentarily distracted and entered pick #32 instead of pick #22, which would be 1 short of being a team that won a WC game in the playoffs.
Then, when I saw the effect it had of highlighting Hoodie not losing a damn thing, I let the unintentional mistake slide as a hypothetical, without considering the ramifications of owning the #32 pick in 2016.

If #22 is the NE Rd 1 pick, and Hoodie were somehow able to trade away the NE Rd 1 pick for a couple of Rd 2 picks, you can bet he'd try it - even if it does eventually get shot down.
It's what and who he is.

You would think so, but we've seen that c*cksukker pull more than 1 wabbit out of his hat.
Let me clarify the ruling.
The NFL said NE will lose the HIGHEST of it's Rd 1 picks.
The NFL front office has already considered Hoodie will somehow replace what he is losing & STILL end up in Rd 1 somewhere.

In HYATT™'s estimation there is a likelihood that NE will replace the lost pick and it'll end up being the pick immediately after the one they lost, so Hoodie will STILL end up drafting the exact same player as he would have if they never lost their Rd 1 pick in the first place.
The fact that it's PROBABLY actually the truth makes the whole thing seem like some kind of a joke penalty & both Hoodie and Evil-EL are laughing their arses off about it right now.

Any trade goes through the league office, I don't think there will be any hoodie winking on this one. All though I'm sure they'll trade a couple picks to get back to rd1. But I'm ok with that, it's still costing them.

To your point, a more appropriate legal wording, would be to take NE Rd 1 pick, and ban them from any selection higher than their earned/assigned rd2 pick.

The college season kicks off this afternoon at 3:30 with an FCS matchup between North Dakota State and Montana.

Chance to see Carson Wentz, ND State QB and a guy we could be talking about in the spring. I am looking forward to seeing what he has got today. ND State also has a lineman, OT Joe Haeg who is a pre-season All America and potential draft pick next year.

From cbssports.com:

Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State, Sr. (6-5, 231, 4.92)

The top FCS quarterback in the country, Wentz has the skill-set to potentially be one of the top-five senior quarterbacks in the 2016 class and mid-round draft pick. He checks a lot of boxes physically for scouts with NFL size, arm strength and just enough athleticism that translates to the pro game. In his first season as a starter in 2014, Wentz completed 63.7 percent of his passes with a 25-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. But he often leads defenders to target with his eyes, predetermines his passes and throws without coming to balance on the move, forcing his accuracy to drop. Wentz has a number of bad habits that need ironed out, but he is in the Mike Glennon mold with skills worth developing.


Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State, Sr. (6-5, 300, 5.18)

A player with 45 starts already on his résumé, Haeg was the starting right tackle his first two seasons before moving to left tackle last season, replacing Billy Turner (Miami Dolphins 2014 third rounder). He is an athletic mover with a smooth lateral shuffle off the snap and the range to easily reach the perimeter, blocking outside the numbers and at the second level. Haeg has a bad habit of leaning and bending too much at the waist, but he recovers well to stay balanced and handle secondary moves by pass rushers. With improved hand technique and anchor strength, he has starting potential at the next level.

Anyone else going to be watching?

Either that or those of us stuck inside on a rainy August day in the Chicago area. The kid Wentz is interesting -- he is the reason to watch this one. Good chance we are talking about him among next year's draft prospects.
