I think GM's just dont want to deal with the entitlement, the entourage, Deion's involvement...the circus.
These are business men. They are always going to do some sort of risk analysis.
My guess is a breakdown of the high risk points would be:
Decimated locker room
Injury
Taking sacks instead of throwing the ball away
Ignoring coaching
That's a lot of risk for a small fairly talented qb

Makes sense. ESPN already out with another puff piece on him with glowing quotes from Sean Payton, Jerry Jones, and others. It just so happens none of those in love with SS need a QB. How convenient.
I don’t have a locked-in opinion on SS. Deion is in my top 5 fave list. Love Deion. I want to think the jewelry and swagger is typical youthful showing off but underneath it is a grounded, committed man who will excel. I’m hopeful.
Some Dawgs got off the board yesterday. OLs Tate Ratledge and Dylan Fairchild. Fairchild grew up here in my community.
My Bengals picked Fairchild. This team is desperately in need of an OL pick to pan out.
Solid player?
I think so. Truth is, I don’t watch the NFL and haven’t for over 25 years. Don’t like it. I will, however, occasionally check in on the stats for players I liked in college. I want them to be successful. Trevor, Travis, etc. But I can’t watch it. I’m fascinated by this SS story
Best response to Stephen A Smith’s ‘collusion’ accusation on X…
“It’s all a conspiracy to not draft talented players”.
At least with the browns, if primetime second guesses the coach and general manager's every decision, he'll just look like a regular browns fan.
Nearly 60 percent of the NFL’s 257 selections in seven rounds belonged to either the SEC (79) or Big Ten (71)
If the ACC (42) and Big 12 (31) merged they would still have fewer picks than the SEC
UGA was second overall with 13 players drafted, including three in the first round
Ohio State was first with 14 players drafted.
The SEC and Big Ten dominated the first three rounds, combining for 66 of the 102 selections. The Big 12 (13) and ACC (11) together couldn’t match the Big Ten (29), let alone the SEC (37) in the premium rounds.
Maryland has the dubious distinction of sending more draft picks to the NFL (six) than football victories last fall (four).

Luckily Buckeyes don't rebuild.
They reload.
#3 ranked recruiting class, behind only UGA and Texas. (Rivals.com)
They went this year. It was impressive. Wait.... Define impressive.

Let's talk about something that actually matters. A team that was going NOWHERE before NIL all the sudden pulls their head out of their ass. Anyone wonder why?
