Zac Carlson, Ticat and Drug Cheat

So the Cats have gone ahead and drafted Zac Carlson of Weber State via the supplementary draft. Unfortunately the Cats had to give up the first round pick in next year`s draft. I was hoping the Cats would only have to give up a second pick, but another team must have been willing to give up a first rounder. Hopefully the Cats will not be in last place next year and forfeit the first overall pick (not that they have done them much good anyway). I do wonder a bit about what happens to the Cats first rounder next year. Will there only be seven teams drafting in the first round or is the pick like what happens if you violate the salary cap by more than $100,000, like Montreal last year and the last place team gets it?

Wackily, Drew Edwards is reporting in the Spec that Carlson failed a drug test at Weber State last season. I love the money quote from his agent: “It’s not even an issue, a factor or a question anymore, especially in the CFL where there is no drug testing.” Admittedly that is true, there is no CFL drug testing. I am fairly cynical however and believe that pretty much everyone on the offensive line at a NCAA division 1 program is on something at some point of their university career, so I am not going to get particularly worked up about it. Although I do wonder about Zac`s Wonderlic score if he was stupid enough to get caught.
