Remember when many wanted Strong?

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
    • very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
