No it isn't. He played 2 seasons since the surgery

One pick has been made and it was for an elite college ER. What's the issue?

Have you been drinking this morning? The Titans drafted Lathum

I do indeed. They passed on boomer 3 times

The Colts didn't want him anyway. They passed on him 3 times

Yes. The money difference from the top of the 1st and the second was much more

From @nsurg "So he had a cervical fusion... this is a surgery I do frequently. Once it heals the surgery is more or less the strongest part of the neck. The biggest problems with a fusion in this context are: (1) loss of nerve function prior to surgery may or may not recover after surgery, usually over the next 3-12 months (but his production after surgery implies no major concern on this) (2) the patient will have somewhat accelerated wear/arthritis at non fused levels. While this is a real concern, it will unfortunately be more of an issue for him later in life, after his NFL career. Peyton had this surgery as his final neck surgery before playing for the broncos, but his problem was number one above, he apparently never had the same arm strength as before. Ahmad Bradshaw also had this same surgery in 2013, he already had I think 6 years of RB play prior to that. His YPC held up but was utilized less, but this may mirror more a tapering RB career. I'm not personally worried about the medical status of this player, but I have no idea the actual details obviously. I will say that very few surgeons would be eager to clear the player to play afterwards, mostly for the stupid liability things in medicine. I think it's fair to say we got a really nice pick here for value." https://forums.colts.com/topic/76891-colts-select-laiatu-latu-edge-ucla/?do=findComment&comment=2646941

A doctor would not be sued. They are giving an evaluation. He isn't their patient. No doctor would be willing to give evaluations if they were liable for future injuries. What I have read is the danger from the surgery is behind him. He didn't have nerve damage and the fusion was a success

"Easily traded back"

Who are they?

I'm hearing the Bears are going punter

I guess. But he isn't the speedster many are hoping for. Aren't he and Pittman very similar?

Penix is the 3rd qb taken. Bo Nix before McCarthy

After just giving Pittman a new deal, I don't see Ballard doing that

And a huge extension

I'm sure Boomer would have played in Indy. He didn't have the options Elway had. Boomer was drafted in the second round not first overall

Because Goodell recently had back surgery

What does this even mean? Elaborate

When did Esiason refuse to play for someone?

He hasn't been here 9 years

I change my position on the trade. I think the Colts trade down

Ok, makes it hard for the team, not the players.

I guess I missed it. In what context was he talking about him?

Maybe, but are there reports the teams have been talking?
