Medical/Physical 're-check' for Jaylon Smith will be April 14~15 in Indianapolis...

Deuce McAllister made an excellent point earlier in the week re: how we can't afford to 'redshirt years' with draft picks...

New Orleans Saints cannot afford 'redshirt years' with top draft picks, Deuce McAllister says | NOLA.com

My concern is not just missing this season and possibly part of next season, but him having a lingering, debilitating injury as Vilma had...

It's not like he is Sam Mills, Mike Singletary; but with him missing even one season, foolish to invest first or second rounder on that scenario...

This "mock" was drafting JS in the third round. You could draft a completely healthy player & see him get injured at camp with no pads on (see Dante Fowler). I would have absolutely no issues if the Saints FO decided to draft Jaylon in the 3rd healthy or not.
