Mark Barron double sports hernia

If he's there in the 2nd I would take him no doubt. Hernias are treatable and usually don't have long term affects. If he's 100% by August then its really not that big of a deal. Guys with ACL tears and such that won't be ready to play at the start of the season we want to avoid. But if we gave him a 1st round ground prior to this news and he's there in the 2nd then its a no brainer.
 
He'll fall to the 3rd, at least. He's already got coverage concerns and now he has no chance to address those criticisms with a good combine or pro day.

This isn't a good safety class. Barron was the best of a bad lot.

I would like to see us draft somebody like Bacarri Rambo next year (shame he didn't declare this year).

I think the Iloka kid from Bosie State will turn out to be what we all wanted Pat Watkins to be - a tall, athletic, PLAYMAKING safety in the NFL. If he's still there in the 3rd, I want this guy with a star on his helmet.

Sounds like the typical 3rd or 4th round pick for the Cowboys if you ask me. Injured player, rated higher.........book it. lol


I was thinking the exact same thing.

We did it with Sean Lee in 2010.

We did it with Bruce Carter in 2011.

Do we do it again in 2012?
 
The original post says July/August. I'd take him in the 2nd and let him heal. He would be a tremendous boost to our seconday and an absolute steal. I could see us taking Dre in the 1st and Barron in the 2nd. We'd have 1/2 of the National Championship winning secondary.

boy that injury sounds like tons of fun

feel bad for him that he won't be able to do the combine or pro days and workouts.

such a big time in the life of these kids you never want to see something like this deprive them of it.

Still recovering from my sports hernia surgery that took place on Jan 14th. I wasnt able to get out if bed for about a week and just now am able to walk without a limp.

It will be 2 more months til I'm back 100% and that's if I'm lucky. Some never completely recover. Hands down worst pain I've had. I've broken bones, herniated disc and even fractured my skull. None compared to this.

THIS....

and you may laugh, but I'm dead serious. If he's there in the 3rd round, the Cowboys would be stupid to pass on him. I'm not so sure they should pass on him in the 2nd round, but I'd understand ( depending on the scenario ).


The Cowboys could even give him until the 10th week of the season before making a decision on activating him or leaving him in the IR for the entire season.
