I would like to get this guy in round 3 or 4.
John - Cobbs is said to have had off-field "issues." You're closest to the situation. What were they? How serious were they? Were there extenuating circumstances in your view?
I really think the off the field issues are being overstated.....He was busted for driving while smoking pot on his birthday. I'm not defending his actions on that night, but he has been tested regularly ever since then. And as far as I know, that is his only off the field issue. Of course, there have been several "off the field issues" here at Arkansas, so John may know of another Cobbs incident that I forgot.
My concern about Cobbs is his inability to stay healthy. After a promising freshman season, he had a season ending shoulder injury in the 2nd game of his sophomore season. He has also had a nagging hamstring problem which caused him to miss a couple of games this past season & which caused him to post a 4.7 40 at the combine.
But I still think he is worth taking a risk on in the 3-4 rounds. I don't think I am being a homer here, I am usually not too high on other Razorbacks potential in the NFL, but if Cobbs can stay healthy, I honestly believe that he could easily be the best RB in this draft.
