With that said, any time a player his age has back injuries, that is a red flag for me. Those type of things only seem to get worse in time. I've had constant back problems for almost 20 years and I can barely get out of bed. If he fell to #25, I'd be tempted to take him, but I certainly wouldn't trade up for him. It's just too much of a risk. I've had to knock him down a couple of spots in my rankings because of the back injuries which have plagued him since 2019. Even though I see him as the most talented CB, I have him ranked #3 behind Horn and Surtain due to uncertain longevity of his career.

Dude...sorry about the back problems.

According to him, his doctors told him it wouldn't be a chronic sort of condition for him.

I don't know enough to know how they conclude that.  All I know is based upon what I've seen, players with back problems can be severely limited.

If his doctors are right, he would certainly be worth an investment should he fall to 25.  But I can't say I'd have no apprehensions whatsoever about taking him.

Thanks, but at this point it's just something I live with and try not to think about. 

If it is not a chronic thing and Farley is there at #25, I'd definitely take him unless one of the big OT's somehow magically fall to us. Farley is a very physical corner with size, speed and instincts. That is everything I want in a cover corner.
