Do we burn a mid to late rounder on Ahmad Brooks?

Ive heard this guy is a beast, and he sounds like a good middle LB. Given our history of poor picks in Rounds 4,5,6 do we take a shot in the supplemental draft if he is available? My first impression is yes, but there have been some off the field issues. I think the biggest issue was a possession of less than 15 grams of pot, which could have been as little as a joint, I don't know. Thoughts?

I don't know man. Everyone seems to say that Sean Taylor is a good guy but he is too easily influenced by the dumb stuff his friends do. This guy could turn Taylor into a crackhead before we know it.

True dat.

I'd want to make sure those issues were addressed, but I think it would be worth a shot.

I love that his dad played under Gibbs during the first era. Maybe that would give Gibbs a better chance at reaching Ahmad.

Easy guys. Someone popped with a joint gets charged with possession of less than 15 grams. He coulda had a joint, an 1/8th, a pipe with residue, anything really. I had a client charged with that when they found 2 marijuana seeds in his ashtray, there's just no way to know without seeing the police report. Maybe there are some articles out there. Anything less than 15 grams is presumed, in my State at least, to be for personal use and its automatic probation 1st offense, and can later be expunged off his record. Now before anyone jumps all over me, let me say again that's just where I practice, probably not everywhere.

I misread it, I thought he got caught with 15 grams. My bad.

Bob Marley would have been proud of a joint filled with 15 grams of weed.

That's about a half ounce. That's alot of weed.

[gibbsisgod]

what happened in college?

i forget!

[That Guy]

I thought he had a lot more problems than just one joint. Didn't he get kicked off his team as well?

Since character is important for gibbs, I highly doubt we even waste any time with this. Just seems like inviting distraction.

He would fit in well with other recent Bengal draft pics ! I think he had more than a few problems with coaches and law enforcement ?

[FRPLG]

He has had lots of problems over the last few years. Heck he didn't even actually get into UVa when he got a scolarship and had to go to prep school for a year. The guy has been one issue after another. Groh is a tough guy but to boot someone with the caliber of talent Brooks has you have to have been burned pretty badly and numerous times. I'd pass.
