Let's not make him someone that he isn't, and that is worse than Josh Gordon. Quite the exaggeration here. If anything DGB is headed on a similar path, but he is so young, his story is just starting to be written. It is not like he stole a laptop or threw anyone on a bed full of guns (just a joke for those sensitive types.)

 

He smoked marijuana; a substance that I guarantee most on this forum have tried at least once in their life if not more.

 

He just got caught...and was in the wrong state.

 

That is all any of us know. We can assume he has a problem and that he is a bad person like the media does, or we can try not to further tarnish the namesake of a person that very well may be doing all he can to seek the help he needs.

 

Would I draft him? The talent is insane. Closest thing to Calvin Johnson that has come out since the man himself. On the other hand, 1st round guaranteed money would be hard to do.

 

I think the Panthers will pass...especially since they sat a man for an entire season for a crime that he MAY HAVE committed.

 

In my opinion though, Hardy should have played until found guilty by jury, and the Panthers would be stupid to completely write off DGB without a second thought. Schedule multiple workouts and dinners/interviews and decide face to face if this is a guy they should take a gamble on.

 

Biggest boom/ bust player in the draft...but sometimes you have to take risks. Only Gett, Rivera, and Rich can will be able to get close enough to this guy to see if he is worth it.

 

So...would I do it? If I was in a position to talk with the young man, and I see he has taken sincere steps to distance himself from that past.......Hell yes I draft him. Worth the risk to me.

This man, GETS IT!

you are correct. Sadly I doubt we are the franchise to look at it this way

"On Friday, April 11, 2014, Dorial Green-Beckham was dismissed from the University of Missouri football team. His dismissal followed his prior drug-related

problems and an incident in which he allegedly forced open an apartment door and pushed an 18-year-old woman down several stairs."

this concerns me more than the pot, although the second arrest there was more than a pound in the car.

 

While I think we are a very classy organization with the right players and coaches to guide this young man,

after the Hardy thing, I don't think we'll even consider it.

No one is that desperate. If his former coaches are calling him a moron, then what makes you believe he'll pass the combine tests? Come on man...

It's not being desperate. He has the tools to be the best player in the draft period. And what does a team like seattle or new England have to lose. I'll be shocked if someone doesn't take him in the first. Some of his issues are a tad overblown. Him ALLEGEDLY pushing the girl down the stairs is just that. Did he do it probably but everyone made bad descions when they were 17/18. And if stoops knocks him he's probably in his feelings about DGB leaving without playing for him.
