Randy Gregory fails drug test at combine

The Browns Board
27 20 954
  • 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.

  • I wonder how far he will drop in the draft.

  • I just read he failed a drug test twice in 2014. The Browns weren't going after him anyway. If you read the article on ESPN, he smoked a lot of weed.

  • Im not 100% certain, but now that I think about it...I strongly believe that this will put him into Stage 1 of the NFL drug program from day one.... And Id consider him to have his first "strike" .....

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • a 20 year old kid smoking weed???????????????????.......................NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Will he still be on the board at 19 after DT Shelton or Brown at 12? Tough to pass up if Peat and Harold on the board. Interesting sucks for us usually...

  • Von Miller's got a hell of a weed issue. In the second I'd definitely take him. Maybe even at 19.

  • If he's already stage 1 in the drug program, then I dont take him at all. 1 slip-up and he's suspended.

    We got Josh Gordon in the second round for the same reasons.

    How'd that steal of a deal turn out?

    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...

    Surprises me that tests can't predict a predisposition to dependency...

    Agree totally on passing on Gregory regardless of this news. I do not see the fit in Pet's scheme.

  • Pass no need for this

  • 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?

    One easy solution here. Become a Steeler and he'll miraculously never have dirty urine again regardless of what he Jerry Garcias moving forward. If Josh Gordon was a Rooney employee, the Pittsburgh Gay-zette would Walt Disney that story into a miraculous and heart-warming about-face with the creativity of a Stephen King. Pitt media already pulled off making a hero out of James Harrison for taking all the fine money fans contributed and giving it to the battered women's shelter/support group his wife continued to need. That's either some really good editing erasing the part in bold or they just had the perfect customer base that didn't think it was any big deal. Apparently, Ray Rice wasn't the first dirt bag Roger Goodfella wanted to pardon. My guess is a street smart Ratbird Owner Bi-shootbreath had back pocket knowledge of James Harrison's roid rages at home ready to bully Roger with. He had something on Roger Goodfella especially when Roger's is the only person on the planet that hasn't seen the video of Ray knocking out his wife allegedly. But take a guess what OWNER would be ready to support Roger after all that shook out and his integrity was publicly shotso? Rooney.

    With the piece of trash running the league today - the crimes aren't ever going to matter as much as who the person committing them works for. Does Pittsburgh win their opener against without their version of Cheech and Chong running the football on us in the first half? On top of that, Pouncey was arrested in August just like Blount while Bell was dumb enough to tell media he smoked weed. Now that it would benefit Rooney to rest Bell early on in 2015 following the injury that ended his 2014 season, Pitt's had enough time to sign a former 1st round RB DeAngelo Williams. How many other teams get a year to find a solution to a starter that will be suspended?
