Where do you stand on the possibility of using our first pick on Jermod McCoy

[charron]

They know what he was, they don know what he is currently or what he could become. The last 2 are complete guesses.

 

[Beaker42]

Only if he can do everything he did before the ACL gave out. And TBH - it will give out on him again. Once you have an injured leg, you have a leg that will be injured again. Just like concrete - you have cracked concrete and that which is about to crack.

 

[DUO_CORE]

He's be a lock at 12 or 20 if he had any warrants.

I don't want damaged goods in the first round. If the guy hasn't played at a high level in 2 years, then no. You don't draft injury projects in round 1. We should be able to get 2 day 1 starters on defense.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

Will he run at all pro day or combine?

Its going to come down to combine medicals with him.

One take away from yesterdays press conference is Secondary and LB is what they are looking at in the 1st.

For the life of me, despite the needs being pretty obvious, I will never understand telegraphing our intent in the draft. Put out some stories about being desperate for a OT or being love with a safety. Anything!

Im fairly confident every team knows the positional needs of other teams. And can probably with fair accuracy at least in 1st round tell you what players most teams are eyeing.

If Dallas says we are taking a guard in 1st not a single soul would believe it because we have 2 very good ones already and need help at LB and Secindary specifically.

Tore his ACL 12 months, and hasnt played since

However probably a top 5 pick in this draft if he didnt tear his ACL. He is a better CB prospect than Sauce was coming out imo

Where do you stand on the possibility of him at #12

It's a hard No. If we're in Win-Now mode, we cant afford him not playing to 100% in Wk1, after all he's got to get to speed with the jump to the NFL, hard enough to do, without not playing for 12 months as Revel indicated. Havent we learnt from our history of injured draftee failure.

100%. I wouldn’t argue otherwise.

But to the extent that I could confirm or refute our intentions, I wouldn’t be like “yeah, we definitely want McCoy, unless Bain should fall to us”.

I mean, let’s not be more transparent than we need to.

Revel is not a fair comparison. He was not as good a prospect, had less recovery time and played at ECU compared to Tenn.
