How do they keep executing these trades? Why does the rest of the league enjoy helping them stockpile young talent?

Oh well, either way the former Nebraska CB Alfonzo Dennard will now be defending passes in Foxboro, Ma. He dropped all the way to the 7th round after getting arrested for resisting arrest during a bar fight.

Once his legal issues are cleared up, I don’t expect to hear another peep of him off the field. Dropping from the first or second round all the way to the seventh is pretty sobering.

The Patriots can always use extra defensive backs and got great value in Dennard at this point in the draft.

]]> 2012 NFL Draft: Alfonzo Dennard is Charged with Third-Degree Felony Assault of a Police Officer http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/04/2012-nfl-draft-alfonzo-dennard-is-charged-with-third-degree-felony-assault-of-a-police-officer.html Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:50:36 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/site/?p=3311 I wrote that we should wait for everything to come out before judging Dennard, and now we have it. Dennard has been formally charged and released.

This is definitely going to hurt his draft stock. Not because he has “character issues,” but because the team that drafts him is going to have to pay a GOOD lawyer.

Dennard is charged with third-degree felony assault of a police officer. Police say he struck the officer during a disturbance outside a Lincoln bar about 2:15 a.m. Saturday.

Dennard was dressed in a dark blue jail jumpsuit during a hearing that lasted about a minute. He was released from Lancaster County Jail early in the evening after posting $500.

We’re glad to get him out of jail,” said his attorney, Terry Dougherty. He declined further comment.

Dennard’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 15. If convicted, he could face five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

]]> Alfonzo Dennard Arrested: Let’s Wait To Draw Conclusions http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/04/alfonzo-dennard-arrested-lets-wait-to-draw-conclusions.html http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/04/alfonzo-dennard-arrested-lets-wait-to-draw-conclusions.html#comments Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:24:47 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/site/?p=3291 Five days before what will be the biggest weekend of his life Nebraska CB Alfonzo Dennard was arrested in Lincoln just last night. When I checked twitter this morning my twitter stream exploded with people tweeting things like:

“Dennard is an idiot”

“Dennard just ruined his draft stock”

“How could he let this happen the same week of the draft”

And to all of that I must be the voice of reason. Let’s wait to hear the facts and see if any charges will be pressed. It seems that people forget so quickly that guys like Darren McFadden and Ronaldo McClain were arrested in far more random incidents not that long ago.

Alfonzo isn’t an idiot. At least he doesn’t seem like one on the surface. No man is going to purposely get arrested five days before the NFL Draft. From what I’ve read it seems like he got into it with some guys at a club or bar and struck a police officer in the melee. This looks like it could be coincidental, we don’t know.

Just ask yourself would anyone you know knowingly punch an uniformed officer?
