Cincy doesn't need to draft any more problems so I'd guess they'll pass on him. But you never know. Their idiocy appears to be limitless.

How true.

But you're right. I don't want to face him twice a year with old man Fraley.

Someone will take a chance in round one, but I'm guessing he's in the teens now.

That's assuming it was only pot. I don't care about that per se, only that it could lead to a suspension. If it's something else he's doing I wouldn't draft him at all.

Raji on Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:42:05 GMT]]>Yeah, people shouldn't forget how dominant Raji was last year. It's amazing to watch a guy who's Pat Williams' size but rushes the passer like Kevin Williams. If he truly dedicates himself and keeps his weight down, he'll be a great player.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons to doubt whether he'll do that. One area where the Sapp comparison may break down is that - if I'm not mistaken - Sapp was dominant for more than one season. Raji, on the other hand, was good in '06, but he didn't keep his weight down and play at quite the same level he did this year.

The draft may have given him that extra motivation; if you draft him high, you may get the guy he was in '06, plus the constant threat of a league-imposed drug suspension.

Not gonna happen, especially after this. Seriously, do you think Pioli's idea of building a Patriot Way franchise includes using your top draft pick on a pothead?

Raji's got immense potential, especially in a 4-3 defense. But I don't think Pioli's willing to take the risk that he won't toke or chunk his way out of the league.

There is also plenty of buzz down here closer to Cinci about them taking Raji if he gets to number 6. Seems to be OL or DL for them. Which would actually be smart...assuming they choose the right guy and he isn't a thug. Which is assuming quite a bit actually...
