This is happening too late in the process to seriously affect their draft stock. If you test positive for pot at the combine, you will get quickly blacklisted and your stock will drop.

But now, most teams have their draft boards set already. Tell me, if Talib was your team's number one rated CB in the entire draft, that is to say, that his football skill graded out higher than every other CB in the draft, wouldn't you still pick him when you were on the clock, even now? Same with Manningham.

Maybe it could be the dealbreaker for some of those teams, and they might pick Jenkins instead, but for the players, it's a lot better for them that it came out in April, than back in February when it could have really jaded their evaluation as players.
