PirateHookerMD Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Value pick in the second now. Brutal for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGMcD2 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Sad for him. You really hate to see that. I hope he is able to recover quickly. This means one less guy that goes off the board before we pick at 25. Tough because he’s not a position of need, had the potential to push a few guys down we would be more inclined to take. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t take him RD1 If he’s around when we pick again in RD2… maybe. If he’s there in RD3 I’m running to the podium or trading up if I’m Beane. This will be a tough evaluation for teams. 3 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: Elite passrusher is ALWAYS a position of need. If he’s still there at 25 it’s a real conversation. Sure. If he was healthy I think it’s a conversation, he would likely be BPA. I wouldn’t touch an Achilles tear in the 1st round. It’s not a conversation there at 25. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) It’s not a position of need. And it’s a major worry coming off an Achilles injury. But this kid is elite. Just in a short 3min vid this kid had like 6 strip sacks. He’s a turnover machine. hes 100% in the conversation at 57. And honestly, it should be thought about if it’s at 25.

Unless it's a franchise QB you can draft a first round player to sit a year especially when you don't know how he will recover. I'm not sure much about his game but if he requires a burst from that foot I would imagine he won't be himself for two years. I know this is similar to mcgahee and I'm not confident we did the best thing in that situation. Could McGahee been a much better back than he was, I would imagine so.

Kayvon Thibodeaux took some criticism for leaving the combine early because he said the drills were so far apart in time. But why risk injury when he has little to gain and a lot to lose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 If they give him the same timeframe as Akers, I wouldn’t be upset with taking him at 25. He will be available around week 6-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Bucky Brooks tweeted out video of the injury and said that he couldn’t believe the lack of concern from the coaches and officials that were there.

Blank Stare Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I think they go some combination of WR and CB in the first 2 rounds, but you have to give it strong consideration if he’s there for us in the second.

Rubes Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Pretty amazing to see how far we've come in the past couple of decades with this injury. Previously, if you tore your achilles, no way you could come back and have the kind of power and force needed to be an impact, speed NFL player—ever, much less in 6 months.

He will be available around week 6-8. That was so irresponsible for Shefter to tweet that "doctors expect Ojabo to be on the same timeline as Cam Akers" (6 months, which is an anomaly... 9-12 months is typical). This sort of recovery is about as predictable as the weather in WNY. Also ridiculous is the statement that "Doctors expect a full and complete recovery." When have doctors ever not expected a full and complete recovery and even if they didn't, would they ever say it? Thank you very little, Shefty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 For starters, I'd fire that jackass who walks AROUND a person in pain to retrieve a ball. I'd want to know someone didn't run out there to render aid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Could not justify taking him in the first, BUT, I could see sending next years first to somebody to get him in the second. You think you are picking 32 next year, you aren’t getting that talent in that range and it’s always a position of need. If you can pull it off, I’d be happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soflabillsfan1 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 6 months may ass. He will not have the same explosiveness he had pre-injury at 6 months. That's a total fantasy. Sucks for the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 You people are high if you think we are taking him at 25. Come on, we are in win now mode. It’s WR or CB, not a busted EDGE when we just signed Miller. Achilles injury is worse than an ACL. It’s a tendon it connects a muscle to a bone, the ACL just keeps 2 bones stable. You never know how these guys are going to recover it’s just not easy to predict like an ACL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
