We're not contending in his rookie season. So I guess it depends on how valuable he would be to the future of the organization.

Just saying it's something to consider when drafting. He would not help the defense this year so you still need help while your 1st round pick recovers. I'm not sure Tepper has the stomach for that.

If he has surgery he's not playing his rookie season. 

Virtually no chance of that. It's generally a 3-4 month process if surgery is required. Half of that if surgery is deemed unnecessary. I doubt he'll get surgery before the draft but if a team that drafted him deemed surgery was necessary he'd probably have it shortly after the draft. That would make his expected return sometime around mid-August to mid-September so he'd definitely miss all off-season activities and most of not all of training camp. I'd probably expect him to start out on the PUP list while he gets up to speed and be active starting game 5. If surgery is deemed unnecessary he'd be ready for camp.

No to pre injured players. At least early

To get that type of talent at #8 you need an extenuating circumstance. That's how Star fell to us. The "heart issue" scared some teams off. This isn't an ACL or an Achilles. But potentially missing camp and getting off to a slow start could potentially move some teams off of him.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
