I'm not so concerned about the legality, just the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 1 hour ago, Victory Formation said: He has an unreal skill set. One of the better LT prospects I’ve seen in quite some time, he has everything he needs to be an elite tackle but failing a drug test takes him down a few notches in my book. It shows that he has a lazy and undisciplined mind on some level. He’s looking at the biggest payday of his life and he’s more concerned with getting high. Just a really lazy effort on his part. Who knows? Maybe he wants to drop down to a better team? Still a red flag nonetheless. It also hints at not being able to make correct choices in life. Especially once he's making millions of dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the league recognizes the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide abuse, it kills thousands every year. dihydrogen monoxide - it kills hundreds each year. Particularly children.

Failed drug tests can keep you from getting a job many places in this country. As others have said - if you know you're being tested - they do - and you use anyway, you are some combination of stupid, addicted, and don't care enough about your prospective career which will pay you millions if you dedicate yourself to it.

His problem was that he drank too much water in attempt to artificially raise his weight and draft stock. This caused his urine sample to be dilluted, which is a yellow flag, as it is a way to not get caught with certain drugs. Now it could be that he is lying about the purpose of drinking the water, but we don't know that. Innocence until proven guilty and all that. I'd believe he is trying to raise his weight. He is a big lighter compared to other LB's. I would like to know what Becton tested postive for. Would love him to fall to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew he was going to get tested and did not have the self-control to stay off the pot for a while. Maybe a million dollar or so hit. Should you count on him in other ways? Quote Urine testing According to Mayo Clinic Proceedings, weed is detectable in urine for the following amounts of time after last use: Occasional users (up to three times a week): 3 days Moderate users (four times a week): 5 to 7 days Chronic users (daily): 10 to 15 days Chronic heavy users (multiple times a day): more than 30 days Cannabis metabolites are fat-soluble, which means they bind to fat molecules in your body. As a result, it can take some time for them to leave your system . https://www.healthline.com/health/how-long-does-weed-stay-in-your-system#detection-time-by-drug-test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's kicking up a 1st for a guy who failed a drug test. Not even another company. The fact he couldn't stay clean for the biggest audition of his life is a big red flag. Why didn't he just not participate at the combine? He had to know he'd test positive. He could've just let his tape speak for itself and just do a pro day. Probably wouldn't have hurt his stock much, but now....woof! Pissed away a lot of money. Tunsil slid was a couple slots?

Still a 1st rounder Once again, it's not about the player who is by most accounts a consensus top tackle in the draft. It's about compensation and character. He still very well may be one of the first tackles taken regardless. You have to consider who's running the team. A pair joined at the hip that values team first, high character and work ethic. They will gamble on wildcards like Norman, but he's a one year deal that's a perfect scheme fit, not a 1st Rd commitment. The audacity of a young man to perform at the combine knowing he's a dirty urine just screams entitled little s#!+. Maybe there's more to this and some details aren't made available and I'm being too harsh too soon but to me he's a red flag. Would I like him on my team? Heck ya!! Will McBeane? Maybe, but not at the expense of a future 1st rounder. Edited April 18, 2020 by billsbackto81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 What drug are we talking about? If it's pot, I'd still take a chance if he falls into round 2. As long as it's nothing addictive.
