It wasn't very funny not having our 1st round pick last year because of knee issue can we really have two first rounders in row we have to worry about that with?

Both of them will play and start game 1. I dont see the issue. Now if ya said Jaylon Smith then yes.

Fowlers acl is nothing to really worry about. There normally is no complication and he'll be back to 100%. As for jack, if we end up drafting him at 5 that means that his knee isn't a big problem. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Don't worry about his knee. Neither you nor me have any idea how it looks. If Jags medical staff gives the okay he has a great chance to be our pick. If it doesn't check out then he will likely fall

no, you cant draft jack at this point... if he has cartilage issues which could lead to microfracture surgery like they are saying, you HAVE to avoid him.... not as a top 5 pick in the first round.  I have had microfracture surgery, and while I am not an elite athlete, I can't imagine someone playing a long 10 year career with it in the NFL and playing to full speed.

 

Have to avoid him, even if it is a tad overblown.. its enough to get some teams to take him off their board for round 1, that should be enough for us to stay away, and I really hope we do... 

I want to stay away too, just not a fan of drafting injured players. Draft healthy, big, and fast.

Haha! Did you really copy and paste from another thread? Bklyn is that you?

So we needed another "jack's knee" thread?

We aren't going to draft anyone injured or someone that has a bum knee. Does Jack fit that criteria? No one on this message board knows that. He's still #1 on my board.

Yes.

I would stay away from him as well. I was all about drafting him, but his knee injury is too risky for me.


If Bradley is in a year where he needs to win to keep his job, then he needs immediate impact players.

The knee is not necessarily that risky. They have their doctors that know a lot more than any of us. If he checks out then all of fine. And jack is probably one of the players that could most effectively step in and play well right away with just his athleticism and speed.

If his knee is an issue then we won't draft him. It's as simple as that. If they draft him then it's obvious they feel the knee isn't as big a deal as it's been made out to be.

Even if there is a question about his knee, then we won't take him. They know what's good tho.

NFL compares Myles Jack to NaVorro Bowman whom is a base 3-4 ILB, while others see him as an OLB.  When you draft someone 5th overall usually the role that they are going to play that person is either cut, traded, or benched.  Are you saying draft Myles Jack to cut Poz (I think Poz still has another good year left in him)?   I guess people assume he is playing SAM/SOLB role moving Skuta (as they had mentioned moving Skuta to possibly LEO role) which would make the most sense on the Jaguars Defensive Scheme but is a high risk of reinjury (and maybe not even healthy for week 1) SOLB worth more than say a starting potentially elite LT?


I think not, if Tunsil is there it would be simply stupid to draft Myles Jack.

Well that sounds like LT Tunsil which honestly makes the most sense.  You need to protect your franchise QB, and give him time to throw deep which he does great!

If they draft him I guess I'm fine with it because I'll trust that their doctors reassured them that everything is fine until he gets injured in preseason like Fowler & then I'll be the first on here complaining..

Since when the hell did a torn meniscus mean that a player might have chronic knee issues? Remember when a torn ACL was a 2 year injury? Now, it's a year at most, and while not being a certified doctor or anything, I'm pretty damn certain that a torn ACL is worse than a fubarred meniscus.


It's still better than any Bklyn thread I've seen, ever.
