The counter argument is the Jack has a short shelf life. You might not want to waste it during rebuilding years.

Not much for me. That just means that the knee is reasonably well but a pounding on it from the rigors, of football might blow up the current status of the healed process. The type surgery he had depends on his knees staying healthy with reasonable activity.

We've had enough bad luck with injury risks and drug risks for me to look at Jack or Spence at 34. There are too many other quality players available to take the risk. It doesn't matter how good these guys are when they're suspended or walking the sidelines on crutches. You don't see the best teams constantly gambling on these high risk/high reward players as much as we do.

I mean Jack has elite, elite defensive potential. That's hard to pass up even with an injury risk. I'm really torn on the guy. To me the draft is all about truly impactful players. Those are the guys that ultimately make the difference on a franchise. Jack does have that type of potential. And man he can hit and hit hard. Not to mention cover. I really think he is the ideal WLBer in our defensive scheme.
But I'm not a doctor. If we take him I'll trust our medical staff and be thrilled.

Jack is a top 10 prospect so you have to consider him but I think the fact that there are so many 1st round caliber guys left on the board (Robinson, Dodd, Reed, Ogbah, Billings) that are clean off the field/in terms of their health makes it difficult to pick him at 34.
If we were at 45 and most of those guys were gone I'd be much more about it, and even as it stands I'd be happy with the pick, it's just a roll of the dice when you have other very good prospects available who don't come with as much risk.

They'd have to throw something else in, a first next year is regarded as a mid 2nd this year.

According to the infamous DVC our 2nd and 4th for their 3rd and 2017 1st...
I'd do it, another shot at that franchise QB next year...

Good point but turnarounds are looked at in 2 year increments these days,it's not a 4 or 5 year plan.

I'm gonna throw Mackensie Alexander out there as someone they may be looking at. Rated highly a lot of places. Still available.

Dunking and cutting drills are far more stressful on a knee than a 40 yard dash.

Talk about a 180 on Jack.
I know it's much different as 2nd rounder but you said none of this about him before.
