Julio Jones Shelved For 8 Weeks

[SDogo]

Fractured foot.
Will have surgery this week. Will have pin inserted into foot to stabilize it.

Ouch, any idea how he did it? He had a great combine, def solidified his draft status.

 

[LatinMind]

he showed enough. his stock is secure. i think he might be more worried with a lingering injury

 

[SDogo]

Just working out. Kind of freak break. They say it's possible he had it when he ran that 40 which is a scary thought. He had some discomfort, had it checked out and that's how they found it.

I think any chance he had to pass Green (which I'm not sure was going to happen anyway) is out the window but he wont drop past St. Louis still.

He's a warrior.

Played in the Tennessee game after having a pin inserted earlier that week for a broken bone in his hand. He absolutely dominated the game. 12 catches, 221 yards receiving 18.4 average per reception.

He is a rare athlete.

similar to demaryius thomas last year crazy. problem is they give these timetables like 8 weeks which makes us just assume he will be back and 100% like nothing ever happened. it could linger or re-aggrevate will defitnatley scare some teams IMO.

I think Holmgren will really like Jones or Green. That 40 time Jones put up is going to get him serious looks from Cleveland and Washington. I didn't know this. Jones is the perfect X receiver in the West Coast Offense.

I really like SDogo's mock.

Give me Smith and Wisniewski, and I"d walk out of the room very happy right after round 2.

Round 1 and 2 will stay the same in the next update but I got a chance to see more of Moch this weekend and my opinions was greatly influenced. There is also no way in hell Scott is there that late anymore.

Great performance after an injury def can't knock him for toughness, but this was a terrible Tennessee defense. There weren't any Eric Berry's out there.

They were ranked 81st in NCAA against the pass, and allowed 17 touchdowns, which was one of the highest of any team in the NCAA.

Sure, you can pick anything apart like that. Lots of teams have poor defenses.

But the fact is he was on the field 4 days after having major hand surgery that involved the placing of multiple pins in his HAND and he made 12 catches for 228 yards on the road against an SEC team.

Spin that all you want but that's impressive to most rational thinking people.

Julio Jones could be like Calvin Johnson with that size and speed. Scary

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Julio Jones will be a good WR, he did enough at the combine.

 

[Muhast]

Julio Jones could be like Calvin Johnson with that size and speed. Scary

Calvin is close to 3 inches taller.

His size and speed is closer to Andre Johnson.

I think he'll get some earlier looks. I could see a team like the Rams potentially eyeing a move up.

I second that. I really like those picks but I don't think the NV LB will be there when we pick. If he is and we get the rest of those players, that will be one hell of draft. Don't know much about RB from Maryland though.

If they decide they got to have him, they'll want to jump ahead of the Commanders at #10. Shanny desperately needs some speed and playmaking ability on his offensive skill positions, and he can address young QB in the 2nd round with a player from the Kaepernick, Locker, Mallett or Ponder tier. That leaves the Cowboys in a nice strategic spot.
