Blount "undraftable"? Get real.

ESPN's Todd McShay says an NFL scouting director told him that by punching trash-talking Byron Hout, LaGarrette Blount's gone from a likely second-round pick to "undraftable."

Get real. The league that just welcomed back Michael Vick--who has been convicted of a felony--isn't going to draft a guy because of one punch?

Lawrence Phillips got drafted even though he'd been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. Phillips was the 6th overall pick.

Christian Peter had been arrested eight times in college--once for threatening to kill a parking attendant--and had been accused of rape. The Giants drafted him in the fifth round.

So, yeah, that scouting director is mental.
