One of his 1st Rd picks from last April is officially a disaster.
Arrested twice already in 2018.
Domestic this time.
You blew this one Lynch.
John Lynch isn't perfect after all...

What?
Yes, because John Lynch is supposed to have an ability to see into the future that Reuben Foster would get arrested in a month's span.
How is this Lynch's fault exactly?

Because according to scouts he didn't just fall because of injury concerns, he fell due to character concerns as well. Not specifically getting arrested for DV and illegally possessing an AR, (side note - That stands for "Armalite Rifle," not "Assault Rifle." It's never meant assault rifle.) but not NOT that either.RING4CHI wrote:Yes, because John Lynch is supposed to have an ability to see into the future that Reuben Foster would get arrested in a month's span.

Eh, some guys that are bad never have issues again and some guys that are good through college go bad.
It's all risk vs reward and every gm plays that game and at pick #31 the risk vs reward factor was high. If he would have had true #31 in the draft talent he wouldn't have been taken until the 3rd or later. As it was he was a top 10 talent in the draft and his character/injury concerns drove him down.
Every team can get hosed by new millionaires in their 20's.

This whole story is insanely sad. Reuben Foster had what sounds like a terribly shitty childhood:
Danny Foster, father of University of Alabama football signee Reuben Foster and a longtime fugitive out of Randolph (Ala.) County, was captured in Miami this morning, authorities said.
The U.S. Marshals, the Roanoke Police Department and the Randolph County Sheriff's Office announced the 11 a.m. arrest of Foster, who has been on the run since 1996. Foster was wanted for assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling and escape, according to a press release issued today by the U.S. Marshals.
Foster had escaped from the Randolph County jail in December 1996. The people he shot that year, according to police? His estranged wife, Inita Paige, and their 18-month-old son, whom she held in her arms—Reuben Foster.
