RoadFan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's not the drug test with Greg. He has some medical issues teams are not allowed to discuss, from what I've heard. That combined with mental weakness. Unless someone reaches for him, I can see him drop in the 50s (past mid 2nd round). I rather we go with Jalen Strong or even Beckham. Not mental weakness...sounds more like he might suffer from mental illness. If that is the case, the pot smoking could be a form of "self-medicating." A common result of mental illness. I am just spit-balling here but some mental illnesses are treated with mood stabilizers like lithium or comparable drugs. Others are treated with anti-depressants or valium types. Given the NFL's strict policies, if there is a drug or combination that could help, it might be a banned substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsmanjb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If Randy Gregory is there, do you take him? I'm hoping for Dorial Green Beckham or Landon Collins... if none of them are there then Gregory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent example is Robin Williams. It is a lifelong war. A person can win the war, but all lose many battles along the way. Losing a battle during an NFL season will render a player basically useless. Not trying to pick you apart... but I know more than most about this topic. The NFL doctors know what they are dealing with, if the rumors are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would think if your ex-girlfriend was killed, you'd have to be a suspect by default... not that he's guilty, but if there's no clear cut suspect it'd make sense. She was also 29 (IIRC) and he's what 22 at the most? I was rather surprised by the age difference since he's still in college and he impregnated an older woman as opposed to the cliché HS girlfriend or college peer.

It's all about perception, the surrounding and the lifestyle. If it's psychological, then you never know what can fix the issue. Until we know the exact cause, it's hard to judge him. That's why I'm expecting the worst with his situation hoping he can rise from it wherever he may go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscrazey Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 DGB even with the 37th pick is a huge risk with all his issues. He is a big weed suspension risk, has domestic violence history, and supposedly performed very poorly in draft visits when called up to the whiteboard. I'd take him in the 3rd/4th round maybe but not the 2nd. His talent is tantalizing and if he had his head on straight, he'd be a top 10 pick, but again this guy sounds a lot like Josh Gordon with the same type of baggage.

But my point is that mental illness cannot be "fixed." It can be maintained, but even when it is managed properly... it always rears its unfortunate head occasionally. Think the Raiders center Robbins that went AWOL before the Super Bowl and wound up hospitalized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm hoping for Dorial Green Beckham or Landon Collins... if none of them are there then Gregory. Landon Collins is a SS. I know we're doing this BPA thing but we're not drafting a Safety in round 2 after taking Calvin Pryor in the first 12 months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanInDenver Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I won't be surprised if the JETS trade down tomorrow and acquire some additional picks in the 4th to 6th round's. I know i am hoping we take a WR but i wont be surprised if the JETS only start looking at WR in the 4th or 7th round OR the 6th round if they have any picks.

It can be maintained, but even when it is managed properly... it always rears its unfortunate head occasionally. Think the Raiders center Robbins that went AWOL before the Super Bowl and wound up hospitalized. From what I've heard/read, he has stress and depression. Yes they won't go away but by "fixing", I mean controlling it. How severe is it? I don't know. He played in college at a high level for 2 years I believe. Not a huge same size but I think he can be maintained in the NFL with proper counseling and right medication approved within the league. Risk and reward and the risk has dropped significantly from a top 10 pick to possibly a mid 2 round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemusclyde Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Feel like with our coaching staff and Marshall acting as a mentor, we can take a risk on some of the questionable guys with mental issues. So DGB or Gregory would be pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It so happens Gregory was one of the players brought in by the Jets to be examined. Word is that Gregory is a nice kid, nice person BUT has 'serious issues' and has difficulty being able to cope with adversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLO Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I honestly can't see how they go defense with the 2nd round pick - we are stacked there, even a pass rusher is a luxury given our secondary will boost our sack numbers by default, especially with the addition of Williams.

Persiussa Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I like Eli Harold, Preston smith, Nate orchard, Donovan smith or jake fisher here. Strong just can't seperate and green beckham is off my board.
