Bleacher Report's Matt Miller wrote this today about Reuben's incident. As many expected, he probably didn't handle the situation the best, but he shouldn't have gone home.

Much was made of Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster being sent home by the NFL after an argument with a worker at the combine during his wait for a medical exam. In talking to a scout familiar with Foster and the combine procedures, he told me this was "no big deal."

Said the scout, "if you're standing in line for hours with no information and you're missing meetings with NFL teams, you're going to get heated. And the way we heard it, the guy working the exams was being an assh--e and trying to act like he runs the show. Reuben didn't like that and didn't want to miss meetings, so things got heated. He really shouldn't have been sent home for it."

That's one team's view on the situation, but in polling other teams, I couldn't find one scouting source who said this would hurt Foster's draft stock.

Well, they paid $16m for the right to make a second round draft pick. Does that make sense?

If they keep him, that is a very expensive pick. If they are smart, they will eat some of the cash and trade him.
