Probably a good thing that he doesn’t know more than that. 

I was thinking the same thing

Becton was asked at the combine who he watches and he said Tyron Smith. He said he's trying to incorporate his techniques into his game.

It appears marijuana. And he is claiming it was his 1st time ever and a mistake. Not buying that for a second. Highly doubt his 1st time ever doing anything with marijuana was at 21 yrs old right before his biggest interview ever.

Yeah, no one smokes weed for the first time in lead-up times like this

Which in turn means he “potentially” has lied to JD already.

But do you care about him “more than likely” straight up lying about it to our GM to make him think that it was his 1st rime ever smoking weed?

I know you don’t like the pick, but your reaching here. If our GM didn’t do his due diligence on this pick then we are probably going no where anyway.

You have no idea of that was his first time,  and I don't know what he told JD about it,  and I'd lie to a perspective boss about it in an interview too.... guess I'm a terrible person too

I love the position addressed. I question his maturity and ability to be technically sounds. Which are legit concerns. And as a fan I hope he does mature and picks up actual technique and quickly at that. But I do still have my concerns.

 

I said pre draft I wouldn’t be pissed if we drafted him. And I’m not. I just would have drafted Wirfs or Lamb there.

Never said it made him a terrible person. But it does question his character to lie to his employer like that, that’s about to give you 20million dollars.

I'd be MORE likely to lie if it was for 20mill, and I'd hope so would you

And you don’t think that’s a “risk” ?!?!

To draft a guy that failed a drug test at his biggest interview ever and “might have” lied to our GM about that being his 1st time ever?

Can we call Joe Douglas and ask him?

otherwise what is the point in even arguing about this?

He for sure said it was his 1st time ever. Why I throw the “might have” in there is bc I find it incredibly unlikely the 1st time he ever tried anything marijuana related was in the days leading up to interview of his lifetime. Completely unlikely? No. That’s why I say “might have.”
