    Sad prediction: gay player michael sam will go undrafted

    He was listed around 15th best at the defensive end spot before coming out. That's around 4th to 6th rd but there are only 7 rds in the draft. Too much downside and too big a risk to splinter a locker room.

    I am really sad to predict this but i believe he will now go undrafted. Good luck with a lawsuit because 32 teams will all point at each other and say someone else could have drafted him. It's like an employer who gives 100 reasons why they did not choose a particular job candidate. Nfl teams will say he was too short, too light, too slow, what have you.

    i sincerely hope i am wrong but i believe, sadly, that i will be right

    Bobby that is interesting but 32 nfl teams dont give two shits about tagliabue's and goodell's loved ones being gay. Those 32 teams only care about the locker rooms which is why no nfl, nba, nhl, nor mlb, active player, has ever come out. Jason collins came out after the season.

    A splintered locker room will not win. Teams that dont win wont make money every year unless u are the dallas cowboys.

    He's undersized for the DE position in the NFL.

    Suire, same as an undersized TE could move to WR, undersized FS to CB..............but the number being thrown out is 15 best at the DE position. Throw that number out the window. He most likely won't be an NFL DE.

    Undrafted free agent signing by the Patriots.
    Lock it up.
    No one wants a circus and the guy isn't high enough on the draft chart for people to ignore it.
    I highly doubt he gets drafted.
    He is automatically off the board for half the owners already because he's a flame, then any team with a winning record also, because there is no need to stir any feathers for no reason. Bellichek loves taking these kind of players though.
    Guy is going to be a PR nightmare.
    Only 3 or 4 teams that will take him and it would be for a shit team.
    IT's not that you're saying the guy can't play for your team because of his talents.
    It's the same situation as Tebow.
    You just have to say "Why bother?"
    Tebow should be on an NFL team right now also.

    Not sure why it's so sad, but there's a good chance he doesn't get drafted regardless of sexual orientation. He's projected 4th-6th round as is, so not uncommon that he'd miss. Factor in that he played DE in college but only weighs 256, so now you're drafting a guy who's probably going to be a situational player, like a specialty pass rushing LB. Maybe I'm cynical, but the announcement is suspicious to me and maybe him knowing that he's a risk not to be drafted. Same as Jason Collins making his announcement when he did.

    Yup. Trust me, no one actually gives an F he's gay. You'll hear this subject on ESPN all day, but no one really cares.

    The guy was borderline before.

    If anything this got him a higher profile in the draft. Teams will take him in the latter rounds just for PR reasons.

    Out of the last 9 players to win SEC Def POY, this is where they were drafted:

    8- 1st round (none drafted lower than 17 overall)
    1- 2nd round

    The End.
