Day 2-3 Targets YOU Want to See

Okay so we don't take Scooby. Or Killebrew. But for The love of God draft Jack.
Well... he is a faster choice...
I don't like the idea of by the end of three-years, the length of his rookie contract, the time may be up for his knee. Just at the moment when the rebuild is scheduled to turn the corner to being competitive one of your building blocks has to undergo a still very iffy procedure.
Gun to my head I wait a round and cast my net in Jaylon Smith's direction... at least he'd be mended by then, if it's going to go his way. And the word on him is that the nerve is question is stretched and not severed, which dramatically increases his recovery odds.
That said... currently there is no gun to my head.

Here's the Dr.'s report I alluded to for Smith...
That’s because the lateral damage stretched Smith’s nerve “enough to make it go to sleep, but it wasn’t stretched enough to be structurally elongated or visually very damaged” like more severe injuries, Cooper told USA TODAY Sports. There’s normally a one-month lag time before the nerve regrows at all, and once it begins, the rate is only about 1 inch per month.
“He’s had time for his nerve to regrow 2 inches, and the area of where his nerve was injured is 6 inches above the muscle that it innervates,” said Cooper, who’s also the Dallas Cowboys’ head team physician. “I wouldn’t really expect him to get much innervation back into that muscle for two or three more months. Then once it does – I’ve seen kids who are completely paralyzed like him on the lateral side and not able to pick their foot up at all (that) wind up being totally normal.”
