Timmy Jernigan, FSU DT who we are supposedly interested in and who could be a 1st round target for us.

Christian Jones and Telvin Smith both tested positive for something too.

Zach Mettenberger was on the list too, but Pat Kirwin said on NFL radio he didn't actually test positive for anything, instead he had a "diluted" sample, which his agent is telling people is because he was drinking extremely large quantities of water to fight leg cramps.

LSU DT Anthony Johnson was another one who tested positive.

Be interesting if he slipped to our pick in the 2nd rd.

Get Shazier or Demarcus Lawrence late in round one after a trade down, see Jernigan sitting there with our pick in the 2nd.

Marinelli and Kiffin would have to be thinking this could be a pseudo Warren Sapp scenario V 2.0

Read somewhere (CZ maybe) that now they are saying Jernigan didn't exactly test positive for anything either, similar to Mettenberger

Diluted sample. That could mean he tried to cover it up thinking it wouldn't show.

It definitely could.

I'm sure at the very least it leads to increased scrutiny and maybe costs him half a round or so in draft stock, although ESPN was saying earlier they thought Jernigan was an early to mid round 2nd anyway (even before this news)

I'd still lean towards others before Jernigan, but having him next to Melton (assuming Melton is close to 100% would go along way towards improving the middle of our DL. Especially if we could land him at our pick or later in the 2nd.
