Not saying they don't exist, but they seem to be pretty rare, and almost never live up to expectations. Willis McGahee and Frank Gore both missed a boatload of time, IIRC.

Running is no big deal early. Let me know when he can cut and change direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor1124 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Since today is draft day, My final hope is. Trade down if possible. Draft Jerry Tillery, AJ Brown, and Adderley/Savage with our first 3 picks and then BPA the rest of the way(getting an Edge for sure.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also missed most of my rookie year. Though I think it had to do more with me going undrafted than the injury red flag. And I would hardly call sleep paralysis a 'preexisting condition' but you know how conservative those doctors in GB can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith in Dallas is pretty damn good, Sidney Jones locked down a starting spot for Philly this year, Simmons is on their level as a prospect, probably slightly down from Smith (who was probably the best ILB prospect in the mold of Kuechly/Willis) and better than Jones.

incognito_man Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Wilkins, Simmons, Tillery, Burns, Sweat, Allen, Oliver One of those 7 will be our first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I'm far too selfish to draft Simmons What if Gute went crazy and went Wilkins / Simmons or Simmons / Tillery Edited April 25, 2019 by cannondale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylen Smith from the Cowboys a few years ago. He was damn good last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are correct. I would live with four of the 7 at 12. I'd want to trade down before putting the card in for Tillery, Sweat or Burns. Hopefully grab an additional second in the trade down hypothetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
