I believe there are rumors of another positive test for Mary Jane.

Porky.. I agree most kids try it, but what kind of rocket scientist tries something or uses something 30 days or less from such an monumental event in ones life.. speaks to his character and lack of responsibility.

Now you going to hand this kid millions.. I wouldn't write the check out.

How this affects Raji's draft grade remains to be seen. He missed the 2007 college season with academic issues, returned to Boston College and had a terrific senior campaign, recording eight sacks and 42 tackles, with 16 tackles for loss. He was a dominant force during the week of practice at the Senior Bowl and continued his momentum up draft boards after turning in good combine and pro-day workouts. His performances the past three months have some scouts believing he'll be taken in the top third of the first round of the April 25 draft.

One source familiar with the positive drug test assessed Raji's draft prospects by saying, "It's a roll of the dice. If Raji stays clean and plays to his potential, you could have a dominant defensive lineman on your team. Then again, it does nobody any good if the kid is on the sidelines serving a suspension for a failed test."

It says the link doesn't work for me....anyway, this really pisses me off. I was extremely high on this kid.

We pretty much have no chance at getting Orakpo, Raji did drugs, and Andre Smith might not be there when we draft.

Who does that leave us? I'm not sure that I wouldn't draft Peria Jerry.....however Everette Brown will more than likely be there.

Who do we take? Brown or Jerry?

I am thinking I'm on the side of Jerry now, considering there is a good chance Larry English will be there for us in the 2nd round. Then again, Ron Brace could be there in the 2nd round as well if we pick Brown.

What do yall' think?

Oh yeah, we could trade back and probably get another 2nd rounder and like a mid-1st round pick for our 9th.

I thought I remembered he tested positive once before for Mary Jane... red flag city.

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2009/4/2/819894/report-bj-raji-tested-positive-at

NFL scouts were notified that Raji tested positive for marijuana prior to the 2008 season at Boston College.

Could he grow up quickly and get past it, Kevin Williams of the Vikings tested positive before coming out... he seemed to straighten his act up. Well, other than that looming suspension hanging over him now.

This guy is off the draft board now.

I knew he was dumb because he could not play at all in 2007 due to academic reasons.

The combine has been testing guys for years. Yet every year there is somone stupid enough to show up with drugs in his system.

I bet he turns into a real bust at the NFL level. He only had one productive year in college football.

Haha, I was thinking about putting "no pun intended," but I figured I'd let everyone make a joke haha.

You don't really believe Venus and Serena were using diet pills for weight loss do you? I think there was a little gonge action going on there. In fact I'd venture to say that over half the NFL "bends" the drug rules continuously.

As far as B.J., I think he falls as far as the first team that badly needs a D-tackle. There were probably a few teams that regretted not taking Warren Sapp years ago for similar offenses.

PORKY

it isnt the fact it was pot, its the fact he did it before the biggest event in his life up to that point..

He had to know they would test him but he decided to buck the system anyways? To me shows that he is more worried about himself then what others want and expect of him

Now 93Z posted a link about him getting caught once before??

This kid is not BRIGHT

I would pass on him..But if they do nab him I will support the choice

Zero2Cool (11h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (12h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (19h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (19h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (19h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (19h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (19h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
