But Cap, he's had what...3 days to be interviewed by the police and hasn't been yet. Why the delay?
If its on the police his agent should be screaming from the rooftops how they are screwing his client. If he's been slow to cooperate... then why?
They were saying last night that the police won't give the teams any insight into whether he's a suspect, person of interest, etc.
Until they clear him, how can you draft a guy who clearly is under the microscope by the police investigating this horrible crime?
Sure, if they give him the green light its a no-brainer...heck he's a 1st or 2nd round pick if that is the case.
But until that happens, how is it any better to draft a guy the cops are in no hurry to clear as a suspect in a murder over a guy who likes to smoke pot?
