This kid has had a history with injuries going back to high school. You take a gamble but boy this sucks right now ughhhh.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Good news if you are Jeremy Hill or Mike Gillislee, I suppose.

I get that. Great fit but the injury history in the 1st is understandable. I don't hate the pick at all. I had a 2nd rd grade but have a thing about drafting RB/WR that early.

Early in the first round you never make sure he’s healthy 100 percent. He was but he has had nagging injuries.

I was hoping this was a 1st round pick that could contribute from week 1 on, pretty rare for a Patriot rookie. Damn.

Now recovery + losing all camp = red shirt year. Onto 2019.

Interesting how different media sources have a different outlook on this injury.

If the knees hold up through the contract i love the pick. Talent is definitely there and I also had no problems going there at 31. We will have to revisit this in a few years to see if we made a good pick.

Way to early to tell with that take. It’s a long season.

rap wraps it up . lets go with this and hope he comes back soon enough

Its a gamble though. You're never gone know how someone's body will hold up, esp w the injury history.

You have to live w it I guess.

He's only out for a few weeks. It's not like they IRd him.

I really thought Gilly was a breakaway speed back but last year he ran like a lumberer. Maybe he will surprise me this Preseason with the Speed I thought he had in Buffalo.

Yes but you always worry when it’s the knee but like some reports have suggested it might be minor.

Agree but all reports say it's minor

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Agree but all reports say it's minor

Is anything "minor" w his knees though?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Is anything "minor" w his knees though?

Sure there are.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Sure there are.

Injury history w the reports we've heard mean anything involving his knees are serious business.

It's Aug & it's already an issue.

Plus the extra body we'll have to carry if it lingers into the season.

 

[maineman209]

Do you think he will end up getting the majority of the goal line work this year?

Not sure why him and not Burkhead. They're pretty much the same size ... 5015 v. 5012, both about 215 ... and both can run and catch. Hill, at 6010/233, seems the more likely "power back", size-wise, for goal line/short yardage.
