    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.

    I wonder how far he will drop in the draft.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    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.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    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.

    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.

    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.
