I would definitely take him in the later rounds. How long has it been since we have actually hit on a 5th-6th-7th rounder?

Not often, but Harris in 2011 was a good pick.

I'd take Lattimore fore that late.

If his knee is stable, he can run and cut, and his doctor reports are good then he'll go in the first IMO.

Even though McGahee has lasted a long time in the pros I always felt that he never quite got back to where he once was prior to the injury. Anyone else feel like that?

I thought it was worse.

Probably true, but MaGahee has has a long career. A lot longer than I would of imagined.

Lissemore and Harris have been decent, but the last stud we got from the later rounds was Ratliff in the 7th several years ago

I haven't heard of any nerve damage on Lattimore. The state of surgery for knee reconstruction is remarkable.

It's possible he will be better than before when he finishes rehab.

No thanks!

I wouldn't be shocked if someone took him in rnd 2. Remember, McGahee still went in the top 25 after a similarly devastating injury

[jobberone]

I'm thinking latter third of the first.

Your probably right, especially if he's even close to as prepared as he says. McGahee went in the top 25 and he missed his entire rookie season. If Lattimore can play at all, it'd be more than McGahee could have done, so your probably right on.

Maybe a team like the Falcons would go for him. Turner is likely not coming back, and Rodgers can't carry the load alone. If Lattimore could play 40% of the downs or so for them his rookie year, he'd be a great pick for them.
