.@LanceZierlein says on http://sports790.com  that Shane Ray will need surgery on foot, 5 months recovery. "Could drop out of first"

7:40 AM - 23 Apr 2015

I'd take in a heart beat in the 2nd. Maybe the first.

Wowwwwwww!

And WR Strong with the bad wrist.

And RB Ayaji with the bad foot.

On top of the known ACLs (Gurley, Ogbuehi).

[doogy]

I doubt DG would allow him to fall past us at 25. 

[jdpanther5]

Blue Goose pass rusher out of Missouri in the second round? Seems unlikely.

[Bartin]

I don't know that he fits the measurables profile DG likes in a pass rusher. He's both short and light for a 4-3 DE at 6'3" 245 lbs. He'd be hard on pass on in the 2nd round even though he probably should just go ahead and get the surgery if he needs it since lingering toe injuries can drastically affect performance.

[JawnyBlaze]

Ray is one of the most overhyped players in this draft. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he falls to the 2nd. I wouldn't want him in the 4th on the Panthers. Spinderella 2.0

[JawnyBlaze]

He might be good on a 3-4 team, not a 4-3. He's no Von Miller, not close.

I've been watching draft academy on ESPN and he's featured. Is this because surgery of his turf toe?

[panthers34]

Lets say we draft a non OT or DE in the first round and Ray and Ogbuehi are both there in the second round.

 

Who would you rather have?  

[Fidel Cashflow]

Gettleman will waste no time handing in that draft card if Ray is still at 25.

Doesn't need surgery apparently...

#Mizzou DE Shane Ray had an injury, like turf toe, discovered during a team visit. Thought surgery was his reality. Instead, simply rest.

All teams have known about Ray's issue. Some team medcial staffs do believe surgery may be necessary, as @LanceZierlein said. Others say no

 

Sounds like it depends on the team which makes sense. Many opinions differ this time of year. Saw another guy say one team he talked to said they would have him play through it then probably get surgery after his rookie year.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoportreported that Ray saw a foot specialistThursday, Dr. Aakash Shah in Kansas City, and that the doctor's recommendation was that surgery wasn't necessary.

I wonder if this Dr. is affiliated with a certain team?

 

 

Edit:  Apparently he's not associated with a particular team, but is a "consultant neutral physician for the NFL and NFLPA" and is involved in assisting care for professional football players. - http://kcsportsmedicine.com/about-dr-shah/about-dr-shah.cfm
