I found a video on Shirley on the same site I found Simpson yesterday -

Jason Shirley

Some character issues, but he's huge and quick - that's a great combo (the huge size and quickness).

If only he can keep his head on straight.

And if he can't, then he's out the door. 5th round picks don't get to foul up. I don't mind taking a flyer on the guy here.

Terrible pick. Awful.

From what I understand, he has great ability and size....but he's been suspended at least twice if not more at Fresno State, has crashed a car while driving drunk, and has pending criminal proceedings ahead of him for stuff he has ALREADY done

It's also said he is a bit of a prima donna.

I look at this guy as all the worst of Ocho Stinko and Slim15 all rolled up into one.

You don't contribute if you are suspended and/or behind bars, fellas...all you do is tie up roster spot and salary dollars.

It would have been better to pass on making a pick at all than to pick this guy

Horrendously bad pick

Agreed well he's a character risk he's a 5th round this is the time you can risk it because if he F's up you ship em out ala Nicholson.

I keep hearing people say Okom is 330-345 lbs but on all draft sites i've seen they list him 310ish well good size I'm glad to have some beefy fellows for our line.

Yeah, 310 is fine for a 4-3. I mean the Saints run a 3-4 and didn't take Okam. Neither did we so maybe we intend on running a fair bit of 3-4. More than I certainly thought we might. But then Sims is around 310. Head scratcher.

Not excited by the character issues.

gonna have to agree here...

when will this team graduate from the character issue guys. all the hot air we've seen...absolutely stupid.

this does not mean Mr. SHirley won;t keep his nose clean but why, when there are so many viable options, do you roll dice on the another CI guy????? ????? ???? ??? ?? ?

crickets.......

Rubin was there? Guion????

why?

<edit>

and let me add, I think we have a mole in the FO for the Freaking saints.....dammit.

Because they believe he's the better player. And frankly, given that the one area this team has been very successful at has been ID'ing talent at DT late in the draft, I'm prepared to trust them on this one.

Underachiever who has the physical tools to be great..Was suspended for the first two games of 2007 for conduct detrimental to the team...Was suspended again in October '07 after he crashed his car into an apartment building and left the scene while driving drunk...Was allowed back on the team after just four weeks but was ultimately dismissed once and for all after being cited for driving with a suspended license....Still has some legal issues to resolve....

Great. Can't wait for ESPN to jump all over this one.

Who knows? It's crazy. Yeah, sure we could cut him and ultimately we lose very little if it goes tits up. But then again, why not take a chance on a good character who might contribute on and off the field for a few years?

Crap!

I was listening to Matt Hasselback on ESPN Radio last week and he was talking about the difference between being a first round or two player vs everyone else.

First rounders: you have to make a huge negative impact to get kicked out. Everyone else: You have to make an equally huge positive impact to get kept on.
