Actually just saw him mentioned as a riser that could sneak into the second round. I'd def be surprised but I don't think many people were expecting Terrence Wheatley to get drafted in the second either.

Sounds like Jimmy needs to find a more NFL friendly habit
Sounds like Jimmy needs to find a more NFL friendly habit. It might not be right, but he should learn to live life without getting high. I never understood people who worked jobs that they have to test for pot, and still choose to smoke. Especially the ones looking for work in a field that tests. How hard is it? Considering the money he stands to make over 6+ years, he can wait and buy a plantation to grow and smoke all the pot he wants. One decade of his life without getting stoned, how hard is that?
And I like smoking pot and don't think it should be screened for, and should be flat out legalized without driving tests etc. If the guy can play ball, or drive a car fine, he can smoke fine. But until then, find a more job friendly vice like some good food, but I guess even that is hard to do with the NFL.

That would be awesome. McShay has him as the 17th best DB.
I think Jalil has the potential to be an excellent NFL player. I'd be stoked if the Broncos landed him somewhere.
In regard to Smith, if true, these allegations demonstrate a severe lack of personal responsibility. The codeine stuff is probably overblown by NFL teams due to the JaMarcus Russell bust, but put it all together and I can see why some teams are backing off. Pacman Jones, Jimmy is certainly not. But, if you're investing millions in a player, this stuff is a big red flag.

Don't you feel there is a bit of witch hunt here though. How many players in the draft have similar or worse issues. Why are we not hearing about those players? Why is sCam Newton getting so much praise and love all of a sudden? Something really stinks here. I'm not sure what the hell is going on.

Jimmy Smith is the only player entering the draft who has ever made more than one poor decision which negatively reflects upon his character. Fact.
Asked that earlier...no one could give me a solid answer.
Maybe. Or maybe we're more focused on it because Jimmy is one of our own. I don't think Cam is worth a first round pick, let alone the first pick in the draft, and many draft experts agree. But, he doesn't have drug issues in his past. And that differentiates him from Jimmy if these allegations are true. Look at Mallett. He's a first round pick without the drug issues. With them? Probably slips to the third round.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm pointing out that NFL teams perceive drug issues as very, very bad character indicators. Any guy with drug issues is going to slip in the draft. This year, it will be Jimmy, who should have been a top ten pick, and Mallett, who should have been a first rounder. I can't think of a lot of guys that slipped because of drug issues in the past, but Warren Sapp and Dan Marino come to mind. Actually, not bad company. :lol:

I'd agree but my problem is what is being reported was either what Jimmy said to the NFL people or what Jimmy said to the reporters. I don't think Jimmy or Rosenhaus are dumb enough to say it to the reporters. So IMO the teams leaked this info to the media. That is ****ed up. Especially the stuff about the abortions. That is what sickens me. Also lumping Jimmy in with Talib and Pac-man when we have seen no signs of that pisses me off.
Yeah true. I don't quite trust that article though. In my mind someone who gets kicked out of Florida (where cops normally turn a blind eye on illegal activities) seems a lot worse than a failed drug test early on in his career.
Yeah, but who is lumping Jimmy in with Talib and Pacman? I don't think it's the media, I think it's fan message boards. We know those are the pinnacle of responsible thought, even though the others haven't quite caught up to AllBuffs yet.
The abortions are a touchy subject. But, two pregnancies out of wedlock before graduating from college aren't exactly an indicator of personal responsibility or stability. In the end, however, I agree that those are personal matters that should not be reported by a major news source.

Yep, didn't read the article. Fail.

Good news for Jimmy that he was drafted by the Ravens. He can be mentored by good character guys. Like Ray Lewis.... :lol:
Honestly, this was suggested on NFL Network. What the **** does Ray have on these guys? I have never seen a guy get the media to flat out lie about him like he does.... :rolling_eyes:

Of any fan bases in the NFL isn't going to get bent out of shape about the character issues of a defensive pick, it's the Ratbirds.
Congrats Jimmy.

No, Creatini... How hard is it?
I thought you were obligated to finish the joke. No?
I'm not familiar with the joke or I'm having a brain fart...
Oh. I thought I was doing you a favor because you said, "Do you know how hard it is to get kicked out of an SEC school?" Usually when a question is framed as such, it is the obligation of the person who is asked the question to in turn ask, "No [asker of the original question], how __ is it to ____?" But then, when the askee responds as noted, the original asker is required to finish the joke that was originally set up.
Ray Ray has become one of the strongest mentors and role models in the league.
Not really a surprise that guys listen to him and journalists only write nice things. He has proven that he can kill you and not a single witness will talk. Don't **** with Ray Lewis, man.
