Logic Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) If this is true (and Allbright is usually pretty sharp, so I bet it is), I wonder when would be the appropriate time to draft him. Even if he doesn’t contribute much in 2021, if he’s expected to make a full recovery, he could be a hell of a value pick on day two. I wonder who else will fall out of round one based on medical questions. I read yesterday that Azeez Ojulari might be in that category. Gonna be an interesting few days!

MarkyMannn Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Willis McGahee didn't work out too well. Was it Shaq Lawson that had the shoulder? 2 1
Coach Tuesday Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I can’t draft a corner who has had back surgery from lifting weights. He’s off my board entirely. Too bad. 3 1 1
Mr. WEO Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 By your third back surgery, no one "fully recovers". Stay away from this kid. 4 2 1

YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 The appropriate time is never imo. Sorry, I know others will disagree. If the bills can’t examine him themselves which is indeed the case, I’m not wasting a pick. 7 1
Rigotz Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 It's fine to think he'll drop a bit, but wrong to "take him off your board." He is easily the best corner in the draft, minus the injuries. An appropriate landing spot for him is 20-30. Gronk had similar back problems and back surgeries in college and he plays a position that takes more hits. Also, does it seem a little suspicious to anyone else that the day before the draft a journalist is "hearing from anonymous sources" that an elite player will need more surgeries and is broken forever - so definitely don't take him in the 1st? 3 2

To be fair, It’s been said that Farley would fall down draft boards for a while now. I read at least a week ago that teams suspect that he is being overly optimistic in stating that he’ll be ready for training camp. I believe it was Albert Breer’s MMQB column that pointed out that team doctors have different opinions of Farley’s recovery outlook than Farley’s camp does. 1
John from Riverside Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 This is going to hurt us in a multitude of ways because Farley does not go earlier means that other corners we’re going to get drafted earlier 1 1

I'm guessing the original comment was made because it was a stupid pick for the Bills, not necessarily a stupid pick in a vacuum. The Bills had all sorts of needs, didn't really need an RB and made what was in essence a luxury pick that a team coming off a Super Bowl victory might make. For example, Dallas Clark was available when McGahee was picked. Not a great blocker but he would have gone down as best TE in Bills' history.

Yes, he has been falling down the draft boards from a top 10 lock to top 20-30 due to injury. Now, the day before the draft, we're hearing anonymous reports that he has SERIOUS medical concerns and will drop to the second round? I think it's more likely that teams want him in the 20-range and are trying to drive his value down vs Albert Breer's anonymous sources being right. 1
BuffaloRebound Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Maybe the Covid news is cover for him to not attend the draft if he is sliding down teams draft boards. 1

The Bills totally missed the medical on Lawson. Everyone here on the local sports radio knew that he would need shoulder surgery but the Bills totally missed it. Sure enough, he needed surgery and his rookie season was a bust. 2
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Beane and the Bills behind this and Etienne? Do they want someone to keep falling to them? I say it's possible 1 1

Well this thread is about a player getting drafted after a major injury...so forgive me for assuming they were referencing McGahee's knee injury since they also mentioned another player we drafted that had injury history. But perhaps they meant something else.
Billzgobowlin Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 In my opinion he never was a shutdown corner and this makes him potentially undraftable if he will have to have many surgeries. He doesn't have game film for a year and in a covid world he is much too high a risk for the first 2-3 rounds 2
