MJD: "I had the same injury. I had a microfracture in 2011." That was the year he broke Fred Taylor's season rushing record and led the NFL in rushing yards. So why did 31 teams worry too much about Myles Jack's knee?

NH3...
I've been pumping up Jack all offseason.

Andrew Luck just retired. It was the smart move.
Hahahaha!
This is the best draft ever!
If Jacks knee holds up, we have not only increased the speed on defense, but we have two franchise players to add to Telvin and hopefully Fowler on the defensive side of the ball.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
A+ Grade
I usually penalize teams for moving up in the 2016 NFL Draft, as history has shown that it's not a good idea to squander resources. However, the Jaguars shifted up just two spots to obtain someone who was in consideration at No. 5 overall. That earns an automatic A+.
This might just be the best pick of the draft. Excluding his injury, Jack was seen as perhaps the best player in this class. He would've been a top-five selection had he not hurt his knee. He fell out of the first round because teams were scared off, but given that it's become apparent that Jack doesn't need micro-fracture knee surgery, there's no excuse for the Browns and Chargers for passing on him. Credit the Jaguars, who are killing this draft. Oh, and also major dap to Charlie Campbell, who called this hours ago on Twitter.
Tampa has a nice draft VH3 and Spence
This is why Dave Caldwell may very well become one of the GOAT GMs... He's a cool customer, I'm tellin' ya'll
