Dre Kirkpatrick arrested for marijuana possession Posted by Michael David Smith on January 17, 2012, 3:40 PM EST drekirkpatrick Former Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who is widely viewed as a first-round prospect in this year’s NFL draft, has been arrested for possession of marijuana.

The web site for the Sheriff’s Office in Manatee County, Florida, lists Kirkpatrick as having been arrested at 12:48 a.m. today for possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis. He was released after posting $120 bond.

Kirkpatrick, who announced last week that he is leaving Alabama for the NFL, is considered one of the top defensive players in the class of 2012. The eight mock drafts posted at NFL.com all have Kirkpatrick going in the Top 10.

Weed should have no impact on their draftability. They should be encouraged to smoke weed, only at night when it's time for them to relax, I'm sure it would help them out a ton with the pain they endure and there is no safe pain killer other than weed.

It's a pretty clear indication of how seriously they take their job.

Except for the whole illegality issue.

There are numerous flaws in this statement:

1) Weed is not proven as a safe pain-killer.
2) Weed is proven to create ambivalence, which is not what you want in a football player.
3) Weed store THC in body fat. Football players are burning body fat during a game. Ergo, players are high during the game if they are weed-users.

Carr is a clear #1 and superior to Flowers.

This. Every mother****ing day.

Carr is a better cover corner with better upside, but Flowers is a beast in run-support, which some of you apparently aren't considering.

If he tests FA and gets an insane deal that we choose not to match, it will be because Pioli badly ****ed up the negotiation process prior to this and in the end lost all leverage in the matter.

If Carr leaves, it's an indictment on Pioli - period. And yeah, there are also circumstances where Carr staying could end up an indictment on Pioli. Frankly, Pioi's already dicked up the Carr discussions, all he can do now is mitigate the damage.

This whole post is full of assumptions.

There is nothing to indicate that Pioli has ****ed up the negotiations of any of this teams players.

In fact, quite the contrary is the truth.

Hali
Charles
Flowers

All got fair deals, indicating we have done what we needed to do and retain our own homegrown talent and continue to build on it.

There is nothing indicating that we are:

A) gonna lose Carr to free agency in a couple months

B) that Pioli has ****ed up the negotiations

Carr was on a 1 year tender...unless he wanted to take a deal that averaged 4 million per year, we can't sign him till march.

I have no doubt that talks took place during the year and that he will be re-signed.

The Donkeys #1 need this offseason is a #2 corner. If Carr hits free agency he will be signed by Denver.

You would have thought they learned their lesson with D. Carter.

Misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession against Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick were dismissed in a Florida court on Monday.
A projected top-25 pick in this year's draft, Kirkpatrick's stock is unlikely to be affected after the dismissal. Arrested on January 17 in Manatee County, Kirkpatrick was allegedly found to have 7.9 grams (0.28 ounces) of pot in his possession. The arrest occurred just five days after Kirkpatrick, a third-year junior, declared for the draft. Kirkpatrick claimed he did not know the marijuana was in friend Chris Rogers' car, and Rogers accepted the blame.
