Becton fails drug tests along with others at nfl combine. - Jpoore - 04-17-2020
How far does he drop? Till 33? Possible. If he’s there at 25 I’m trading up and sprinting to podium.

The biggest question to ask is why?

And what are you giving to move up?
RE: Becton fails drug tests along with others at nfl combine. - SunsetBengal - 04-17-2020
Or maybe not.. If he falls to the Bengals at #33, then maybe. But, I can't see "trading up" to get a red flag guy.

He will not fall much, if at all. It’s his first failed test, as it’s being reported. I’ll be shocked if he goes below 15.
33? Wtf you smoking? Got any more?

With consistency issues to boot. I agree, take him in the 2nd if he drops, but idk about moving up.

Not to smart when you know you are being tested. And dropping down the board means losing money

Jerry Jones has already mentioned that the league is going to have to amend the marijuana punishments with so many state decriminalizing it. Will be interesting to see how it plays out? Ts, weed may not be considered a huge red flag in the near future. Especially, if it's no longer considered a banned substance by the league.

Probably Mexican super meth and that was the reason he was able to run so fast at that size. Hopefully that makes him slip to 33 and we get him cleaned up

The marijuana rules have already changed with the new CBA. No more suspensions for marijuana, only fines. The testing time has also been reduced. So if they get caught smoking weed they can still play, but with the fines they will essentially play for free.
So if he pissed hot for weed it’s no big deal.
I posted the new rules in the NFL section if you’re interested.

This. Honestly, I'm glad for the CBA change to an extent. I'd rather these behemoth super athletes have the option to take something that mellows versus booze that has worse side effects (see Rich Incognito, Alex Boone, etc).
I don't think it'll affect his draft spot too much. I'm sure he'll still go in top 12ish.

You bout to fail your test playa....

Do we know if it was a banned substance or a diluted sample....if he drank a ton of water to dilute a weed test, I could care less....but PEDs might be different.

I think marijuana needs to be studied more for its possible therapeutic benefits for such things as pain and anxiety versus current medications such as Vicodin and Xanax which can have dangerous side effects, interactions, and cause addiction.

This only becomes a problem if he gets flagged a second time during his 60 day distance abuse program.

Cuz I asked if he has any more or cuz I don't think Becton falls much?
I think there's zero chance he falls out of the first round due to this. A few years ago video surfaced just prior to the draft with tunsil bonging weed in a gas mask. He fell to what, 6?
And in some bizarre scenario he drops to 33 I draft him as fast as I take burrow at 1

I'm not worried about that... Just don't want you to lose your job when you fail your drug test.
Also... Wasn't there a murder for hire plot 8n Tunsill's draft too?

Also becton is nowhere near the talent tunsil was coming out. Becton is the clear cut 4th best tackle in this class, dosent have the luxury of in person meetings so ppl can see the character of the guy, and for that reason i think he falls at minimum into the 20s

Problem with weed is it makes you stupid, I know.

Becton is the clear cut 4th tackle in your eyes. I highly doubt every team in the nfl ranks them that way. A first failed test, at the combine no less, is not the same red flag it used to be under the new cba. Will a team now take another tackle they had ranked slightly lower than Becton because of this? Possibly. still don't think he falls much because of this
