    This is mcGahee's second serious knee injury. He missed the end of his final Senior year of High School because of a knee injury that limited him to just 5 games in 2000. I don't know if its the same knee.

    I mention it because i think this will be a real factor when it comes to deciding whether you take him in the 4th or 5th or 6th round. I think only a team like the Raiders or Houston with many extra picks would pick him before round 4.

    Two busted knees in 4 years is not good news for any running back ...

    I've heard this talked about. It was the same knee because we were talking about the chances of cartilage damage, just like with this being Foster's second.

    I'm telling ya, the guy won't make it out of the 2nd. Too many teams have already fallen in love with his talent. I really don't think he will ever be the same player, but I ain't the one drafting for these teams. The Texans in particular have fallen for him. The mock I posted earlier today has him going in the 2nd to the Texans. While that would be dumb for them, I can really see them doing just that, considering their need at the position and the derth of quality backs there.

    I would puke if the Panthers drafted him earlier than 4th round, in fact make that 5th round.

    I would be truely shocked if anyone spent a first day pick on him.

    I'm willing to put up money behind that.

    Damn, just what we need.
    Another potential talent, spending most of his time on IR, like Tooka and Foster, taking up cap space while a half-ass #2 gets most of the PT.

    Just say NO!
