Shane Ray is a Genius

Rather than being picked in the top of the first round and having to play for a shitty team, he gets himself busted for a relatively minor infraction and hurts his draft stock just enough to bump him lower in the first round. That puts him on a team that will almost certainly make the playoffs. Rather than costing him money, he just put an extra $25k in his pocket in the coming year.

this should've been posted on the SEC Rant with the following thread title:
Mizzou's First Round Draft Picks Are More Talented and Smarter than the Competition
It would've been Rustlemania in that thread. Downvote for not being a forward thinking person.

I just looked it up. Wow. I had been under the impression that all first rounders got roughly the same money initially. I see there is a huge range within the first round.
Oh well, do we really have to let facts get in the way of a good story?

Genius??? The difference between #10 and #23 is $4 million dollars... of that, 3 million is guaranteed signing bonus.
I wouldn't call losing 3 million in guaranteed money for the opportunity to earn an extra 25k for a playoff game genius. It was a dumb mistake and on top of it he has to be in the NFL drug program for 2 years to start his career.

To be fair, and this is just me, I would rather be in the drug program and lose 3 mil but be in the playoffs every year with the potential to have a huge signing bonus as opposed to having the money and losing.

Just hope the legal recreational marijuana don't get him in trouble. I'm sure even if it's legal in Colorado, still banned by NFL, right??

How was this not in your OP -- The guy gets busted for weed week of the draft, still goes first round and get's drafted by a team in a legal state.

Yes, but the amount for a positive test is much greater than in years past. 15 ng/ml used to yield a postive result and now it is 35 ng/ml.

The fact wasn't lost on me. I just thought I was really smart in observing something that turned out to be based on a false assumption. I got caught up. I should have just stuck with the low hanging fruit.
