All the talent in the world won't matter if you can't pass a simple drug test.

He never failed a drug test. He had a diluted sample. BIG difference.

He may not have failed a drug test in your eyes but in the eyes of the NFL this is essentially a failed test. That's why any player that tests positive for a diluted sample is automatically enrolled in the NFL drug program.

True. But in the eyes of those that matter (franchise decision makers) there is a difference. If it was caused by over-hydration, which is a very real possibility, then there should be no reason why he would fail more tests that would result in a three game suspension.

The players you named had real issues.

That's a big if (with regards to over-hydration). To be perfectly honest, if Reuben wasn't trying to hide anything he could clear it up easily by just submitting to a bloodtest. I seriously doubt he does that though because it could reveal other substances that could be banned. So given that, I would think long an hard about whether you can afford to take him at 11. Now if you want to take a chance on him at 32 or later I'm ok with that.

The league is about to stop testing for weed anyway, as they should.

While weed is something to the NFL, I don't think it's the big deal. It seems to me that for every player I hear getting caught for weed, many more are suspended for performance enhancing whatevers.

Thats what IR is for

Your talking about him being a 3rd rounder not one of the first three picks
If you can get a round 1 talent in the third but need to wait for mid season to use him its worth the wait. These picks are for 4 years not just the first half of this one

Too bad Sidney won't be there in the third round.
