IRVING, Texas – Earlier this week, I teamed up with Bryan Broaddus on this website for a Point/Counterpoint article on the idea of drafting players with some off-the-field incidents and baggage.
I took the point that sometimes these guys aren’t worth the risk, and we specifically mentioned Nebraska’s Randy Gregory.
Now that Gregory is a Dallas Cowboy, I’m not going to back off my opinion. At the No. 27 pick in the first round, taking Gregory, who failed a drug test at the combine, isn’t worth the risk.
At No. 60, it’s a different ballgame.
