Having nerves that haven't regenerated and there is no way to know if they ever will...it would be a risk to take him IMO. 

From USA Today 4/25/2016

"Smith’s peroneal nerve remains asleep, leaving him unable to lift his left foot or swing it out to the side. It’ll be months before doctors have a better idea whether and to what degree the nerve will wake up. That leaves perhaps the best player in this week’s NFL draft unlikely to go in Round 1, unlikely to play at all in 2016, and 32 team doctors to advise 32 general managers with varying needs and risk tolerance on the odds of Smith making a full recovery."

He was told that he will be drafted by the end of the third apparently. I could easily see it being us. We don't need him to play for at least one season, possibly two.

Let him work with Dr. Anderson, send him overseas to have nerve treatment, whatever. He's easily the best player in this draft. Draft him. Let him learn. Let him recover. And unleash an LB corps of Smith, Keek, and Shaq on the NFL.

When teams think that they are so close to a SB/consistent winner like the Pats, they start taking more risks, thinking that it's just a 3rd round pick.  See 49ers with Lattimore and Carradine.....not looking like good investments now that you have a few players retire, the QB regresses, and a coach moves on.

Hate if for the kid, but it would have to be lower than a 3rd for me to touch him...probably closer to a 6.

      Rookie Mini Camp

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
