Calvin Johnson Admits to Marijuana Use

Let the photoshopping begin. Reportedly, Calvin Johnson admitted to using marijuana during an interview at the combine. I would love for this to affect his draft status such that the Falcons could get him with the eight pick in the draft. Unfortunately for the Falcons, I tend to agree with Chan Gailey. From the article...
"I doubt it will have any effect whatsoever," said Gailey, a former Dallas Cowboys head coach with 16 years of experience in professional football. "I think he's a great young man who probably did it one time to see what it was like and told the truth [when asked about it]. I don't think it's an issue with him."
If this indeed does not affect his draft status, the Falcons better not trade up for him. I think he's going to be a great NFL receiver, not good...great. However, the Falcons need bodies right now. They can't afford to trade away draft picks to get Johnson.
