Jack Ikegwuonu to miss 2008 season?

Wisconsin CB Jack Ikegwuonu (a second round projection) tore his ACL and might not get drafted now.

Bob McGinn, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports University of Wisconsin CB Jack Ikegwuonu (knee) suffered serious knee injuries while training Tuesday, Jan. 22. He suffered a torn ACL, a torn MCL and damage to his kneecap and will need reconstructive knee surgery, according to a source. It is unclear if he will be taken in the 2008 NFL Draft.

if you were a GM would you take a 6th or 7th rounder on Jack

With the way surgery has advanced lately, I'd take a chance on him if i had an extra 6th or 7th round pick. The kid was good and while he might lose a step, he could turn out to be just fine. I mean if Willis McGahee can still play, then this kid should recover fine.

Good point about McGahee, Davis7907.

Ya, that's why I would give up a 6th or 7th round pick for a guy who is a 2nd round talent (only 2nd round talent because of how deep the CB draft class is this year) and pick him up that late. I think it is a low risk, high reward situation, because a lot of 7th round picks don't even sign with the team or they get cut soon after.
