Could you imagine our defense in two years if we did.

Durpee and Gregory as the OLB's. Shazier and Timmons as the ILB's. WOW The speed, pass rushing ability, and coverage ability!
 
He's off the board Coach. There's no way we'd move up for him. If he's there in Rd 2, do you consider him? Possibly. Or is he the next Berfect? A first round talent that drops out of the draft completely?
 
Our secondary is trash.. I don't think we can afford to double up on pass rushers in the first two rounds. Although with Gregory on the right and Dupree on the left, I think we'd be set for a decade

Don't forget the team sees something in that CFL kid Shawn Lemon.. he dominated there. Don't sleep

I'd take CB Rowe or CB Darby. Odds are they are gone before we pick. Lots of very good players had drug issues, but played well on game day. Warren Sapp, Randy Moss and Dan Marino to name a few. They fell on draft day.
 
I thought about that moving up to take Gregory but once I came to my senses I realized that's not going to happen. I think they have to go CB here. Now what would be interesting if Landon Collins is there which I doubt it but if he is would they pick the best safety in this draft? I'm not sold on Mitchell and who the hell knows what you have in Shamarko Thomas.
 
Trade up for Collins, Rowe or Darby

I could get on board with those picks at CB!

I also know that drug issues are more scrutinized today since there is a 3 strike rule in effect, and each strike gives you a suspension with the 3rd being a year. Until pot becomes legal, or at the very least- ruled a non performance enhancing drug, it will be a heavily counted against if a college player tests positive for it. From the issues it is causing for athletes like Dion Jordan and Gordon missing a season because of it, the NFLPA should really fight to get pot taken off the testable list in the next CBA.
 
The big worry regarding a player that smokes weed is that they will enter the NFL already in the program (I think testing positive at the combine may trigger that). That means they get tested all the time. If a player doesn't start out "in the program", then he only gets tested once a year and he can pretty much smoke as much as he wants without a problem. If you start in the program and you can't control yourself (hello, Josh Gordon), then it becomes a huge problem.
 
Here's a better question, Coach:

With Ray and Gregory still on the board, it's realistic that Harold could fall to us.

Whadya do? Two quality pass rushers in two rounds? Or DB?

I said before, and will again: we won 2 SBs with a monstrous pass rush at linebacker and a questionable secondary. If the QBs dick is in the dirt or running for dear life it really don't matter if anyone's open.
 
Im pretty sure jalen Collins is off our board. I agree with Aggie, it doesnt make sense to double up on pass rushers. There should be a decent CB available.
 
Why would Jalen Collins be off our board? He smokes some weed, yes, but the kid can play.
 
No. Way. In. Hell......I will admit that he is an intriguing prospect. But if they are trading up(not advocating that btw), it will be for a db.

Ray went to Denver and Gregory will not last until we pick again in round two. They have to go CB or Safety here. Safety if Landon Collins is there.
 
I was smoking a blunt as big as a little baby's arm and passed it to Gregory, he replied " man that's a pinner" that's when the realization hit me to pass on Gregory. No earlier than the 4-5 range which someone will likely take the chance on him before that. We have needs other than giving Bell a smokin buddy

Ike,Troy and Clark were 3/4th of a "questionable" secondary?
