Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama’s outstanding cornerback who is expected to be a 1st round NFL draft pick in April, was arrested early this morning for possession of marijuana. According to the Manatee Sheriff’s website, Kirkpatrick – who declared for the draft last week after Alabama beat LSU to claim the National title – was busted with less than 20 grams of cannabis. No other details are available yet.

Sounds like ol' Dre is having some fun on his agent bonus... :lol:

funny how people look down on that and will take a drink in the same breath.. pure ignorance.

i don't think its the smoking as much as the stupidity of a projected 1st round pick getting caught with drugs. Come on man, let your friends hold it, you just smoke it. That is really dumb.

I agree with you 100% in principle.

But the law disagrees with both of us in fact.

If you have so little self-control that you can't keep your habit under wraps for what? Three more months? Or just keep it in your house? Then maybe you ain't the right guy to spend a Top Ten draft choice on.

I wonder what the Big Cat would think?

getting caught out in public with it is pretty stupid.. but the fact that it's illegal is due to a flaw in the minds of American's who hypocritically and ignorantly rise against it... If it were legal, this would be a non-issue.

agreed.. but this would be a non-issue if it were legalized, which is where I'm coming from.

and the term "drugs" in your post is a bit misleading, when people everyday drink a "drug" that is legal..

the timing of it is what maks it so bad.

agree w/ it or not, but possession of it is illegal (atm).

he spent his whole life preparing for a career in football and put in enough hard work that he can be considered a first round pick and while you think you would be doing everything you can to make yourself look like a top prospect so you can get the highest pick possible, you get busted for possession.

what a dummy.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
