    I didn't care for him much before this news. I think he is over-hyped. For him to come out and say that he used to wake up every morning looking for a smoke was pretty stupid, but that he is now over it and hasn't used since December. Not sure I really buy the fact that he is over it. Their are plenty of other solid OLBers in the draft.

    I think he is a frontrunner and I'm concerned about his health, but dude was crazy disruptive his first year at Nebraska.

    Exactly what I'm thinking, but it could happen. Look at Justin Houston, was projected a late 1st, failed a drug test and went 3rd rd. Zach Mettenberger was projected 3rd rd, failed a drug test and went 6th (was also injured). Theres also a ton of other OLBs in this draft. But, if he fell that far, I'd imagine teams like NO, IND, NE, or ARZ would gobble him up.

    Would be a steal at #33 w/ LW @ 2.

    Don't like him at #2. Love him at #33.

    I do think he takes a lot of plays off and if the play is to the opposite side of the field, he pretty much just stands up and jogs toward the play. But I think if he came here at #33, LeBeau and Horton could work with him and get that out of him.

    No doubt. I really don't like him as a prospect. He's super thin, only 235 lbs, which causes balance issues, gets destroyed if a tackle gets both hands on him. Reaction time to the snap is awful, but does explode once he goes. He's a lot like Barkevious Mingo (6th pick) and Dion Jordan (3rd pick) - super tall, athletic, quick, but thin, average pass rush moves, and very raw.

    I never liked Gregory at 3, I rated him around late teens - early 20s. Just not a fan of drafting based off pure potential in round 1. If he somehow fell to #33, that would be legit though. He could be our 3rd OLB, learn behind Orakpo & Morgan. Would work with a great coaching staff (Dick LeBeau, Ray Horton, and Lou Spanos) in reaching his potential, while having very little pressure to perform.

    1st: Leonard Williams
    2nd: Randy Gregory
    3rd: Daryl Williams (OT from Oklahoma)
    4th: Best RB or WR available
    5th: Best RB or WR available

    What really shocks me about this failed drug test:

    Gregory weighs next to nothing for his height and has like zero body fat. Normally takes 2-4 weeks to get THC out of your system. But, if you have low body fat, drink a ton of water, and are extremely active... you can turn that 2-4 weeks into < 1 week. You're telling me that Gregory couldn't hold off smoking for a week? That's sad. If you're that into smoking, smoke some more and order a pizza... atleast get your weight up haha

    What an idiot. But, good news with weight being an issue and weed being a huge metabolism booster, he should gain a few pounds if he quits. Would love him at 33, but that’s how i felt about him before this.

    Its hard to get THC out of your system in a week or less.

    Maybe if you smoked once or twice in the year, you could.

    Heavy smokers it could take 90 days for the body to fully get out the system. He said he last smoked im December. So its very possible it would still be in his system come combine.

    His pro day he weighed in at 243 so he put on some weight. Also ran a unofficial 4.6

    If he is there at 33 I would take him, but if DGB is also there, I would have to go receiver.

    I really want Devin Smith to drop tho lol I will be a homer all the way

    If you're really serious about your pro career, you wouldn't smoke weed period. I'm sure he knew he was pro caliber before he smoked in December. Dude is stupid.

    I agree wholeheartedly on this. That said, I wouldn't hold it against him enough to not draft him. I don't think he'll slide out of the 1st round.
