Jaylon Smith-Do you burn a mid-round pick if he is there?

[chargerkdb]

The injury is bad, that much is clear. He was probably a top 5 pick before the knee. I wouldn't touch him in rounds 1-3 but if he falls outside of there would the Bolts be tempted. The guy may never play a down in the NFL or he could redshirt his rookie year and be a perennial pro bowler. A lot of folks are advocating Myles Jack at 3, well this guy was an equal or better prospect before the knee. Who would take a flier on?

[UtahBolt]

I would in the fourth or later as long as we had another pick in that round. So far that is only the sixth round, which if he was there I would absolutely take a flier on him there. If we are able to trade down and get an extra pick in the fourth or later I would jump on it then too.

[chargerkdb]

Id consider jumping up in late 3rd if it just looks like a 1 year recovery thing. It would certainly be a good deal to get 2 top 5 talents in the same draft. Pre injury he was a beast. I'm still seeing mocks that have him mid to late first. I think after the injury re-check and the consensus being he won't be ready til 2017, he will drop out of 1 and 2

I can imagine a team like the Titans with three second rounders picking him up.....they would still have 2 second round and 2 third round picks

Just don't trade the 4th this year.

I think there are a lot of good players in the middle/late 1st round through about the beggining of the 4th. Hard to take Jaylon in there with so many good players without the medical risk.

[Big Dog]

Our picks this year are so high that they are really 1 round higher, so our 2nd rounder is more like a late 1st rounder.

So I'm chocking on using a 3rd rounder or even 4th on him, but after that I'm good ... Problem is he goes in the 3rd round ... Because someone will take a flyer if who they wanted / targeted isn't there ...

[Formula 21]

So you take him over a tight end or safety? Not me. I think he'll go by end of 2nd.

[boldarblood]

If you can get him in 4th-6th round for sure. Otherwise to much of a risk. He's a heck of a player if healthy.

[Blue Thunder]

San Fransisco is another team that might take him since they have a lot of picks in this draft and they have been known in the past to draft players with medical issues and "redshirt" them for a year until they are healthy.

[rikardo]

He has nerve damage, I would not draft him until the 6th round...

[Gwynning_Spirit]

Yeah, me neither.
