Bring It Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Somebody's gonna pick this guy tonight. Jack will either be a constant chronic medical nightmare or an All Pro NFL player............or more probably somewhere in between. Microfracture Surgery. I haven't a clue what this means but it seems to be scaring teams away like the plague. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfracture_surgery Do you think Quinn & TD will think about picking him ??

droopy1592 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) He's a late round 2, early 3 at best. People want full time starters in the second. Many of those that are injured but predicted to be 1st round before the injury end up going in the 3rd or there abouts. And it's more than that. He may need surgery but even if he didn't he's got evidence of a degenerative condition that's releasing other cartilage as well. Very bad. He might play 3-4 years at most.

Jesus Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 No. The injury must be pretty bad. Someone will take him and maybe he will work his butt off to get to a good place in the NFL, but his career will be short. Smith seems like a better choice with time to heal.

Sponge Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'd take Jack in the 3rd AFTER a trade down to gain an extra pick, but not @50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'll take Jack for 3 years(with a chance for more) at #50 all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeBomb Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'd take a flyer on Jack at 50 and hope for the best. To much talent and how many more prime years of Ryan and Julio Jones do we have left? Win now mentality and take Jack if he's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krammmit Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Jack for 5 years > any 2nd round pick in the TD era Smith missing year > any 3rd round pick in TD era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookAboutFalcon Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'll pass, would rather take a chance on Jaylon Smith in the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I don't think we take a chance with the talent likely to be there in the 2nd. I think you could take Cravens, play him at LB, and have a similar player without the risk. Not saying he will be as good as a 100% Jack because Jack and Smith are top 5 in this draft, if not top 2 to me, if 100%, but the risk isn't worth it in Rd 2.

It would be an amazing story to see the Falcons get him and have him succeed...........REALLY succeed. This franchise could use this kind of POP.

JayOzOne Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Blank said he wants three starters in this draft. Would you want to tell him why we took a potential medical redshirt when there are good players to be had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOzOne Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Quote Draft Buzz: Who wants Myles Jack in Round 2? When Myles Jack admitted he could possibly have microfracture surgery in the future, an early slide in the NFL draft was anticipated. What wasn't expected, however, was the star UCLA linebacker falling completely out of the first round. 2016 NFL DRAFTDraft coverage: Now we have a better idea as to why he has had to wait until Friday night to hear his name called. There is concern about how the bone and cartilage in Jack's right knee are starting to separate and could possibly lead to another surgery, several people who have seen his medical report told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. While teams ultimately decided selecting Jack was too risky in the first round, there is one possible suitor for him early in the second round. Rapoport reported the Jacksonville Jaguars could wind up taking the linebacker with the No. 38 pick, if they ultimately think he's worth the gamble and can play through his first contract. Who would have imagined just a few weeks ago that a team could have the potential to land Jalen Ramsey and Jack in the same draft class? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000657717/article/draft-buzz-who-wants-myles-jack-in-round-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Architect Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 It's definitely worth it in the 2nd. I'd even trade up if the price is right (definitely something from next year and our 7th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I think the only people that know are the people who have seen the medical reports. It has to be worse than 'he may require microfracture surgery down the line' though. Microfracture in itself isn't that big of a deal it's more the conditions that microfracture is used to try and reverse, often unsuccessfully.

No Offense meant to you but, I've seen many people say this and it doesn't make a bunch of sense. Good teams already have good LBs. If they need one then they don't take a guy who might not play because that one guy could be the linchpin that gets them to the playoffs or not. I believe both Smith and Jack will go to bad teams who are building because those will be the teams willing to roll the dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
