Remember when many wanted Strong?

[top dawg]

Well, Jaelen Strong is the next player to get caught with pot.

Not to say that we would look at a guy like Noah Spence with any seriousness, but in some sense, I am thinking that Strong's arrest will make GMs think twice before drafting guys that have impaired judgement as it pertains to their priorities in life. 

I wish that I had the opportunity to throw away potential millions for a toke.

Did he have pre-draft character/weed concerns? I don't remember that if he did. I only remember being really against drafting him because I didn't think he was any good. Zero separation at the top of his route.

Randy Gregory is the better comparison for Spence. That guy failed 4 weed tests in less than a year and was a known problem pre-draft. For every Tyrann Mathieu, there are 3 or 4 Randy Gregorys. A zebra doesn't usually change it's stripes.

Its horse sshit that its illegal.

With so much on the line...have it delivered and stay at home.

Jamie Dukes said we should have drafted this guy instead of Shaq or Funchess. Reason #10,987,346,234 I'm glad he is not our GM and only an NFL talking head. Jamie Dukes is an idiot. Don't be like Jamie Dukes.

I remember Strong taking a tumble in the draft and some (myself included) not understanding it. 

 

Welp, I'd say a lot of teams probably did their homework and knew Strong had some habits.

It happens to every team.  You remember when they wanted us to take that guy named Greg Hardy.

Yes,  I still haven't figured out Jamie?

I have no clue either. It seems almost personal how he constantly discounts Gettleman. I think back in the day when Gettleman was a scout he must have given Dukes a low grade or something.

Amazing that weed can get you in as much trouble as it does.  Makes no sense.  This is even coming from a non-smoker.

oh that evil maryjuanas, hopefully he pulls through and doesn't die

[Castavar]

It's still hilarious to me that alcohol is legal and not weed.

It leads to cracks, and cracks kill.

He had some wrist issue(needed surgery at some point) and he really just kinda sucked. Doubt the weed was a major factor in his drop. Half the league smokes weed.
