Miles Jack in 1st, Jaylon Smith in 4th, or neither

Microfracture surgery. That is often a career ender. He's already said he needs it.

No way you can take him at 16. Thats not rolling the dice. Thats rolling a blunt and then drafting after you smoke it.

A torn meniscus is not a career ender. A torn ACL, PCL and a detached nerve is...that is Smith (and Lattimore).

A torn meniscus is not. Microfracture surgery is not a torn meniscus, and it can be a career ender, and that's what he told the media he needs.

Our first round pick is the one that ended Jaylon Smiths draft hopes. I didn't know that

he didnt detach his nerve, only stretched it. Which makes a big difference apparently.

You think his doctor would have mentioned something before the draft.

You think his doctor would have mentioned something before the draft.

Are you referring to Smith? If so im sure all of the teams are well aware of that fact.

His doctor stated as much a couple of days ago in a USA Today article:

A checkup by NFL teams last weekend in Indianapolis showed Smith remains unable to raise his left foot or swing it out to the side because of an issue with his peroneal nerve. But the "foot-drop" isn't a surprise at this stage, said his surgeon, Dr. Dan Cooper, who is ?optimistic that his knee itself will be stable and a good knee and he?ll get all his strength back. And I also think he has a very good chance of getting his nerve recovery back.?

That?s because the lateral damage stretched Smith?s nerve ?enough to make it go to sleep, but it wasn?t stretched enough to be structurally elongated or visually very damaged? like more severe injuries, Cooper told USA TODAY Sports. There?s normally a one-month lag time before the nerve regrows at all, and once it begins, the rate is only about 1 inch per month.

?He?s had time for his nerve to regrow 2 inches, and the area of where his nerve was injured is 6 inches above the muscle that it innervates,? said Cooper, who?s also the Dallas Cowboys? head team physician. ?I wouldn?t really expect him to get much innervation back into that muscle for two or three more months. Then once it does ? I?ve seen kids who are completely paralyzed like him on the lateral side and not able to pick their foot up at all (that) wind up being totally normal.?​

Make no mistake, its a serious injury, and he cant even move his left foot on his own at the moment, but his chances of a full recovery are much higher than they would be if he had torn that nerve. I still would be surprised if he is available by the time the Lions draft in Rd 4

Okay, thank you.

Yep, nowhere near the Lattimore or the rb from Georgias injuries though

 

[Monster]

As I said, Jaylon Smith won't make it out of the 2nd round. Hell, he barely got into the 2nd round.

My poll is way messed up with Smith going before Jack
