Problem Child

Would you draft Jameis Winston as your franchise quarterback? 120 Sports hosts Laurence Holmes and Dylan McGorty weigh in on the troubled Seminoles QB and his NFL potential. "Look, he stole some crab legs and jumped on a table and yelled something," says McGorty. "Stupid move. However, you put Winston between the lines, and he becomes a savant. He gives you the chance to change the entire course of your franchise with one pick." Holmes disagrees, saying, "The NFL is trying to find players to better represent the shield. He is not mature enough to run a franchise." For more from Holmes and McGorty, plus 24-hour access to video highlights and analysis, go to 120sports.com
