Randy Gregory fails drug test at combine
-
Sad news for a guy so highly rated. But will he never have that problem again?
Or, be another Josh Gordon - who says one thing, and continually never gets around
to getting himself straightened out?
Would you still draft him if he were on your sights before? Or, draft another player
whose skills are very similar?

On the one hand you want to look at it as a red flag cause if you can't put the joint down for the combine than, you know...might be a problem. On the other hand, these kids are told this combine is the most significant event of your natural lfe..this is your ticket to not being a field ngr...the stress must be quite profound. Probably has family and friends basically saying we're counting on you to take care of us. Some of these kids are put in awful situations from the get go.

First, Gordon has nothing to do with any decision I'd make.
I wasn't interested in Gregory to begin with... but had I been, then sure, spending an top-ten pick on a player with a failed test already under his belt would give me pause.
That said his quotes in the article hit all the right notes and I could always have him take more psychological tests to access any predilection towards dependency.

Those don't really exist...
And, I wouldn't have him in the 1st round on the Browns draft board anyway b/c he's too small for us and I've thought he was bust material, but this just adds to my concerns. Much like I thought of Manziel last year, I'd risk a 3rd rounder on his athleticism but nothing higher...

man, nowadays, why even touch this dude when there is someone just as talented one rung below that you DON"T have to worry about?
it's like going out the night before your biggest job promotion interview and getting tanked and showing up late, and still drunk.
GTFO!

Yeah, there's really no way I'd want him. He really had some motivation issues while here at Nebraska, and some of the beat writers have even questioned if he wants to play football.
-
Smoke weed before the biggest event in your life up to that point. Smart move.
-
I think i might be fair to say that if a player loves the game, he wouldn't do
stupid stuff to inhibit his success in football.
But then again, I think JF loves the game, he just had problems to deal with.
But like Brogan posted, he had some motivational problems at Nebraska, and that's
a another bit of evidence to support the claim he isn't all that into being a -football player-
-
i say if you are ray farmer and have been dealt the cards you have been dealt (in JF's case...his own hands) i wouldn't touch anyone with any character/drug/alcohol issues or questions.
once bitten, twice shy.

The shitty part is that no one ahead of the Browns will pick him now, I only liked him as a filler to push the Sheltons and Rays down the board.
-
He better be off our board completely now and will be if they have learned anything from last year.

You mean everyone doesn't do that?

Yeep. This pretty much means we lose out on one of the prospects we were hoping would fall in the draft.

If he was there in the second would you take him?

After dealing with Gordon's bullshit and Johnny's rehab, no fucking way. I would let someone else roll the dice on him.
