Five Storylines For the Upcoming 2016 NFL Draft

2.) How much will character concerns matter?

The NFL has been cracking down on personal misconduct after the whole Ray Rice and Greg Hardy debacles along with other cases of domestic violence. Most of those players have been black balled and suspended. Likewise, other players with a history of failing a drug test such as Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon have rendered themselves useless to their teams. With these players have questionable pasts and proving not to grow out of them, I wonder if some teams will drop players from their boards like teams did with Vontaze Burfict who went from a first round pick to undrafted. This draft’s questionable players include DT Robert Nkemdiche, DE Noah Spence, DT Adolphus Washington, DE Shawn Oakman, and WR Roger Lewis. I’m curious to see how far they will drop because of the concerns surrounding them.
