Is it possible to drop anything off the Eiffel tower without having it bounce off the side a couple of times?
Yes, actually. The first elevated floor is a square "doughnut" with a hole in the center overlooking the plaza underneath. Easy to drop something 190 feet from there without it hitting anything before the ground (there is a glass wall, previously a low railing, to prevent amateur gravity experiments.
)

Drag is affected by mass.
For the same density, drag rises as size squared, while mass rises as size cubed.
Uh, no.
Drag is affected by size (among other things) and Mass is affected by size (among other things).
But there is no direct correllation between drag and mass (or vice versa) (with the exception where one introduces a wing into the equation, in which case one can say that
induced drag (from the wing's lifting effort) is affected by mass.
That has nothing to do with form drag and air resistance in a
free fall, however.
You can have high-mass objects with low drag (Saturn/Apollo moon rocket, for example) and low-mass objects with high drag (the average mattress, for example). And objects of equal mass and even equal density, with very different drag (a flat plate of aluminum vs. a needle-shaped piece of aluminum, both massing 5 kilos).
