I know he said he expects to be back by training camp... but that’s a hell of an injury and with it happening so late in the season, I’d be shocked if he’s at his 2019 level. This just sounds like even with a little HGH in his recovery (illegal only if caught) it’s more of a year recovery period... this sounds brutal. But I’m not a doctor so what do I know. 🤷♂️ Even if it is partial tears or "less complicated" tears, that is still a whole lot of damage and as you suggest, thats a lot to overcome in less than a year. From my own experience, tearing my ligaments and tendon directly off the bone in my ankle was so fortunate compared to the tears in my rotator cuff and labrums in my shoulder, as it was so much easier to recover from. Obviously we don't know the full extend on Skuras injury, but he has to be really lucky to have experienced the same, if that is even possible in the knee. If Yanda retires, we look at Stanley, Bozeman, Mekari, Powers, Brown, which is not bad, but I also think most of us agree Bozeman and Mekari are somewhat limited in their upside, while Hurst seems like a backup we prefer in that role. Powers is obviously an unknown and could be a surprise, but I don't like taking that chance. Instead I would like a player with significant upside that could either develop quick or force Mekari, Bozeman, Powers into a backup role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Skura's injury was the same one that Nico Siragusa suffered a couple years ago. Except I don't think he dislocated his knee cap in addition to the ligament tears. That basically ended Nico's career before it even started. As of right now I'm not really expecting anything from him for a while. The Ravens have Mekari and Bozeman that can play center right now. They're still probably fine there if/when an upgrade to Bozeman as the starting left guard is made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Seems like Ross Blacklock presents much of what we're looking for at DI. Freaky mobility for his size and strong juice/twitch. DJ has him at 18 on his big board already, but I think he has a more realistic shot to fall. He's similar to Derwin James in that he was a big prospect coming out of HS who burst onto the scene as a true freshman, only to lose his 2nd year to injury. Came back as a true junior and flashed once again. With only 2 years of CFB under him, and one of those coming off of injury, it's reasonable to assume his best football is in front of him. ... I mean, look at this. He isn't as good as someone like last year's Jeffrey Simmons(obviously), but it would be unreasonable to expect a player of that caliber picking where we are anyway. What he brings is pass rushing/interior disruption upside, and profiles similar to a Gerald McCoy type going forward. He needs to refine/expand his pass rush move arsenal and process better against the run, but overall he's a great young athlete with sky high potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the wide receivers we are talking about, some is bound to fall to the 3-4 round and we can get quality. I think O-line help should be of top priority anyway regardless of Skura's injury or if Yanda retires. Do you have someone in mind that we should look at? Also, I'm on the Jefferson hype train. My cousin convinced me last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I really like Leki Fotu. And I'm guessing the FO is going to love him. Feels like a Raven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 This kid will play right into EDC's small school fetish. Possible Levine replacement. Big time LB/S hybrid potential, and crazily he has legit return ability. He's even over aged!- You know how much our FO loves that... Dugger proved he was legit at the Senior Bowl, and it will be exciting to see what he does at the combine. Love watching these small school guys earn themselves money.

Was surprised to see that when I searched Dugger's name in the forum. So props to him too lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I Hate stuff like this . From PFF on LSU RG Damien Lewis - Lewis was born to play guard in the NFL. At 6-foot-3, 332 pounds, Lewis looks as if he couldn't get under 300 pounds even if he trained for a marathon. He also looks like he wouldn't cede an inch on a bull-rush against a Mac truck. And he routinely didn't until Auburn's Derrick Brown came along. While Brown got him a couple of times in that game, the matchup was must-see TV for any trench-play enthusiast. Both got their nice wins in, and Lewis held up about as well as any guard did against Brown all season. ......Now watch what happens to this Immovable Object that "woOdiN't cede Un incH on a BulE-rushh AginSt a Mac tRucK" at 44 seconds into the cut up- (Note: that was F&*%ing 230 pound LB...not Derrick Brown) Had to stop watching after that, too angry. Will revisit later lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Kinlaw 27th on this big board?..That's a take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Brandon Aiyuk is so twitched up. Just a nightmare to deal with in coverage with how sudden he is. This WR class really is top tier. I've yet to find someone I flat out just don't want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
