bump. It's an OP procedure which isn't that big of a deal...he did have back issues in the past. THAT'S the big deal IMO.

Someone is gonna get a steal after this news came out.

All micro diseconomies start as outpatient unless the person was in a car wreck or lost bowel control. Before I would even consider him I would need to see his MRI pre and post surgery. He had a micro disectomy ( typically removal of bulging disc touching his nerve) which means he needed a laminectomy which shaves part of the bones to get access. Depending on how bad his symptoms were (loss of feeling in extremities) would also tell you how long recovery will take. Dee Ford had this surgery, same with JJ Watt, Tiger Woods. They all needed multiple attempts too. I would not spend first round draft capital on the hope he can play this year given the typical recovery timeline.

I do have experience in this subject having read extensively and going through it personally to recover physically. It's a potentially multi year process. Most will be able to walk normally (if it's lower back) in a few weeks. The nerve takes months to heal, so I wouldn't expect him in a weight room doing heavy squats or deadlifts, contact on the field is another story.

Hard pass for me, Baalke says go but he loves projects.

Great info man. Farley is a hard pass for me as well. This draft is pretty damn deep at CB and he isn't worth the risk at all.

The fact that he needs this surgery after missing a year of football is simply too concerning. I would have to pass.

Maybe his back issues cause him to drop to 2nd round, where maybe we can take a chance on him.

No. Sorry. Can't do it anymore. I want multiple rookie contributors.

If you can't take a top 10 talent falling to the 2nd round, you'll never have success.

It's all about risk/reward. I don't like it when we take injury risk guys near where they're projected, but if you're getting over a round's worth of a discount you've got to look at taking a swing.

Glad we didn't draft Brady Quinn a few years ago
