True. But as long as Dr. Jerry Jones was okay with the pick, all those other doctor's opinions don't really matter... including mine.

That is an awesome percentage if this was a batting average
Lee has been a disappointment, really good player when healthy but that isn't often enough

He's missed 36 regular season games including an entire season and he's missed 2 playoff games. He's missed parts of other games with injuries. He's been more injury plagued than anyone ever feared.

I must have missed something. Do we hate Sean Lee now? I was just reading Chaz Green is a sissy because he had a cramp. I know we hate Romo because he has broken his collarbone three times and barely sucked it up throughout that whole punctured lung thing.
Are our expectations a little too unrealistic?
But it is okay, we don't hate the guys that are suspended.

I hear you, lol. Remember when Romo had a lacerated liver and passed out after the game.. what wuss. Witten missing a game with a broken jaw... what a sissy!. Yes I'm being facetious... we have tough guys on this team.

I feel they did everything before picking Jaylon. Example they tried trading up to get Paxton Lynch. ...didn't work, they was going to draft Ogbah....didn't work, they were looking at Dodd....didn't work.
While I agree defense needs more talent I believe they tried a few times but it didn't fall the way they wanted to do we stuck to the board and grabbed a top talent in Smith. His nerve is already healing by the way and talks he might even play some this season.
Plus it didn't matter 1 rookie wasn't going to be the difference in 4-12 or 12-4. 1 rookie isn't going to win a superbowl.
Let's say we took Alexander CB instead of Jaylon. ....he would be 4th on the depth chart. Any DE or DT would have been backup/rotational guy.
Can't change it and I believe we did right by drafting Jaylon. Just watch this kid when he is back. ...and make no doubt he will be back

He was well worth the risk and you can feel free to join us behind him once that nerve starts refiring. The knee is healed and the dude is a certified game changer. Well leave a seat open for you on the JSmith caboose.

Without getting into whether Jaylon will recover and how good will he be argument, if we ran out of options at the pick, I'd have liked to see a trade down and selection of Deion Jones. That kind of speed at LB would be fantastic.
Reminds me a little bit of Telvin Smith, who the Cowboys should have drafted in 2014 over Anthony Hitchens. Smith is killing it on the Jags D.
The Jags are quietly putting together one of the best defenses in the NFL, and they just added Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack and got back Dante Fowler.
If their offense catches up, they're going to do some things.

Will gladly join. Just stating my opinion on the subject as it stands now.

I hope Jaylon turns out to be a tough guy too.

You literally read a third- or fourth-hand quote that said that, so I'm not sure what the point of even debating it would be. No one knows if he'll have a 10-second career, much less a 10-year career.

I don't think bringing up Sean Lee's injuries mean you "hate him". He has missed a lot of games; Over two full regular seasons. That matters.

Actually, he has a peroneal nerve palsy, which disables dorsiflexion; plantar flexion is intact.
Therefore, pushing-off strength and motion is intact.

So he can lower his foot but not raise it?

Yes. Which requires the brace to keep his foot from falling down (in the pointed toe position) when he runs or walks.

Oh no. You didn't see? They did draft a TE this year. Probably missed it since his draft highlight video was all basketball...lol.

Really, I think that is something that a lot of people either don't know or overlook when they're talking about his injury. Many think, IMO, that his whole lower leg is pretty much disabled, but it isn't. It is just the muscle that raises the foot that isn't working properly.
He can push off on that leg as good as ever. That is how we hear reports that he is squatting 400 lbs. and doing some of the drills that we see vine's of.
Now, it definitely is still an issue to have drop foot, of course... but all the explosion and push off on that leg is there.
He just needs to get where he can raise that foot and we'll be golden.

Yeah, I thought that was a power forward.
