For the most part, I like the draft (not crazy about Perrish Cox from a character/dedication standpoint)...swap out Darren Sproles for Willie Parker (serious injury concerns) and I'm completely behind it.
What kind of character issues does Cox have?

Whoa suspended license thing doesn't bother me but breaking curfew to party instead of being there for your teamates isn't the best thing in the world. and he should've expected to be harassed on the subject. It's obvious that teams want to know if you are dedicated to the team or the money you bout to make.

"It’s unfortunate. I don’t think he’s going to go as high as had he not had those two late nights out in Dallas. When he does things like that, it costs him money.”
Cox has first-round talent; he’s a very good cornerback with big-play ability returning kicks. First-round talent and 20th-round common sense.

Its risk vs. reward. I'd still take him! Like the one article says:

His pro day will be very important IMO.

Yes, and so will his background checks. Like Dez Bryant teams will really delve into their pasts and be trying to find out as much as they can about their characters.

I think teams have gone too far when they decide to take character over talent. I do understand why, but sometimes I just don't think its right. Look a how far Randy Moss fell when he was drafted in 1998 because of some off the field issues. Sometimes you can get a diamond in the rough!

This is it. Not really a murderer ;)

I guy doesn't have to be a murderer to be a character risk. If a guy feels he can do what he wants when he wants and doesn't have to follow the rules like everyone else, it can become problematic. Teams that just dismiss this type of repeated behavior do so at their peril.
