The top pass rushers are taking a hit...no pun

From top 10 to ?????? What an idiot.

So....I guess this means he'll be around at say....oh.......27?

 

[Risen Star]

It's cool though. He blames himself. It's not one of those forced to use drugs deals.....

Randy Gregory: 'I blame myself' for failed NFL combine drug test


"At the end of the day, it was my fault. I was being selfish. I was being stubborn. I felt like I could do things my way and it would work. And it didn't work."

"I don't wake up every day saying, I'd really love to go smoke," he said. "It's not a struggle for me every day (now), it really isn't. In the past, hell yeah, it's been a struggle. It really has been. Now, I'm focused on my dream."

"I want people to really understand that I know I made a mistake, for one," Gregory said. "That I knew what I had coming up (the combine), and I still made that mistake. That was dumb."

"I want people to understand I'm not some dumb jock pothead. I'm not," he added. "I'm intelligent. I love the people who help me, I love my family, I love my support group. I love football. I love winning. And I don't want to be labeled as some bust that couldn't make it because he smoked. And I won't be labeled as that."

"So I just want people to understand that. This may be a setback. You may look at me a certain way, but at the end, I'm still going to be on top. I'm still going to do well."

I roll the dice on this kid if he drops to 27. Justin Houston fell to the 3rd round after he failed a drug test - and it docked him for intelligence just like here.

All you have to do is stay clean for the few months leading up to the draft and show yourself off then be an idiot if you must once you get in...

Unbelievable

If he gets to 27, I hope we pick him. You can never have too many pass rushers. Plus it hedge our bets if Hardy bolts next year. Hope he doesn't though.

Hope he falls to us.. Would love to have him.

I think you just about have to take him if he somehow fell to 27, and then worry about working him into the defensive scheme. I've not actually studied him much at all since there's basically a zero % chance he makes it to 27, but from I've read, he's a pure 3-4 OLB. With all of that being said, I still find it incredibly unlikely he drops any where close to us.

stupid. no way he falls justin houston style, although houston was tagged more of a late 1 early 2 guy than top 5-10.
if he does fall to 27 i take him and dont think twice

 

[Fredd]

hope he fails another prior to the draft so he falls ALL the way to us...then, we clean up his act

 

[tm1119]

No way he falls to 27 because of this...it happens every year. I'm surprised we haven't heard about more guys that failed yet

 

[reddyuta]

apparantely it was a recurring problem even at Nebraska.I would not draft him because he will allways be at the edge of suspension,some guys just cant help themselves.

Warren Sapp.


Weed does not scare me.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Any trips to Colorado lately? We can overlook it.

A guy who fails a drug test at the combine means one of two things:

1. The player is incredibly stupid, and lacks the discipline to keep themselves clean before their job interview.
2. The player has a drug problem.

Neither of which is a good trait in a prospective player. I would pass on him all day long, and I don't mean puff, puff, pass.

I agree. I was joking about him being there at 27. He's either incredibly stupid or really addicted. He'd be completely off my draft board.
