Twitter: Jay Ajayi with knee concerns

[Idgit]

If it's a shredder, it's probably a case where, when the ACL was shot, his meniscal cartilage took a pounding from all the up and down movement. That shreds the cartilage and can lead to clean ups and bone-on-bone conditions in some areas.

But this stuff ought to have been fairly well known well prior to the run up to the draft if it's an old surgery. He'd have been icing the knee chronically after games in college for years.

Hopefully we have red flagged this overrated player.

Not a fan of this RB anyway

I don't like him either, but its bad news that he is getting pushed down the board. Rather he push other players down the board to us at 60, Coleman.

Coleman isn't making it to 60 under any scenario.

jump up jump up and get down!

Sounds like a degenerative condition. Frank Gore had the same thing basically and he has been a horse.

Well, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions unless we have a definitive diagnosis. There has been no professional assessment of that injury made public to my knowledge. Suffice it to say that teams will have certainly performed due diligence before taking any extra risk.

 

[reddyuta]

all we need him for is 4 years,can he handle playing RB in the nfl for 4 years?

And this comes out now the week before the draft when they would have found out during the combine?

I hate these two weeks. It's lying time.

If your plan is not to give out a 2nd contract to a RB, then it's hard to justify using a 1st round pick on one. Not that they would use a 1st on Ajayi.

Personally (personally), I would not draft a rb in the first unless it was Gurley. I doubt that Gurley falls to Dallas, so yeah, I guess you could say that I would prefer they not draft a rb in the first.

Coleman isn't making it to 60 under any scenario.

I don't believe he will either, but this doesn't help that scenario.

Recently i've been contemplating a small trade back and banging the Coleman pick.

You have to remember that a first round back has the 5th year option, you probably would part ways after the 5th year regardless.

 

[Spectre]

Should read: A number of teams have red-flagged Boise St. RB Jay Ajayi... because he isn't a very good rb.

That's why I like these two weeks. It's so up and down--whereas the rest of the draft season is more or less static

Im all for a trade back anyways.

For the needs we have and what is available i'll take as many picks as we can get.

Our core players are set and we could get a lot of good players to really stack up on D.

 

[tm1119]

Hopefully he falls to the 3rd and we take him. Just keep drafting rb's and don't give them 2nd contracts. That's probably the best way to go about the rb position in today's nfl honestly.

Ajai's agent

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It will be interesting to see where this leads to in the coming days.

Sounds like some misinformation being thrown out there to down his stock.
