I stand by my preseason prediction. He will never play another down of NFL football.
Meanwhile, the Patriots built their success of the way they drafted. One of the most important methods involved their beleive that the 2nd round was critical.
Before the rookie salary cap they often traded a first rounder because they felt rookies were overpayed in proportion to their actual productivity. They relied on a surplus of 2nd rounders reasoning that they would very good players without the salary and occasional elite attutude.
During the past 10 drafts they have had 16 2nd rounders, 13 2nd rounders. They had 8 1st rounders.

How are those states stupid? I bet you think alcohol is ok
The media is scared of Jerry and asking the hard questions. They fear his power.There you go!

I agree to a point.I love how this team pisses away 2nd round picks every year like they are skittles. Would somebody please tell this organization that the second round is not a freebie round where you can take fliers on players with drug addictions and injuries.
Seriously, in like the last 10 years the only guy we have gotten in the 2nd round that turned out to be stud is Sean Lee and even he has durability issues, that is why they even put an injury clause in his 2nd contract.
I really think most teams are about even when it comes to evaluating talent. However, the Patriots give themselves extra opportunities through maximizing value by their trades and cutting their losses quickly like you say.As good as Bill Belichick is with finding roles for guys within his team, his drafting record is actually pretty poor.
Look at the picks over the last ten years - he has whiffed on a truck load of guys, without a significant amount of hits.
The key with him, though, is that he knows when to cut bait.
And it is not just Gordon and Gregory and Martavius Bryant. Every team has at least a few stars who have managed to game the system so far. There are a lot of players coming out of college now and in the future who are either heavy or recreational users of weed.
So Randy's suspended for 10 more games, you say? H-m-m, that'll teach him to smoke pot again and again and again. Well, I hope so, anyhow . . .
I'm hoping right along with you, whether or not it's in vain
Weed and alcohol are banned in competition for H&S reasons. You can't have high or drunk players playing a sport where split second reactions are the difference between being ok and paralysis.
I'm not familiar with what exactly NFL bans out of competition, but WADA doesn't ban weed or alcohol out of competition for football. NFL is generally a lot less strict than WADA.
Two questions :
1. Is he banned due to a failed in competition test from last season?
2. What was he banned for?
Generally speaking anti-doping agencies are not permitted to publicise the reasons for a failed test without the players permission. Not sure if NFL does same, but if so, then how do we know why he failed?
