If he's there at 4 you take him. If you don't, you deserve to watch him succeed somewhere else and make you regret it for whatever you passed him up for.

Stress reaction…..NOT a stress fracture.

It can become stress fracture if not given proper time to heal. They can also put a screw in as it currently stands and give him 8 weeks to heal.

This is one of those cases where Schefter's pedigree doesn't matter. Hopefully he's right but he's no Dr.

In spite of this news....might be enough for him to drop to 4.
Stress reaction is NOT a stress fracture!!!
To be clear it is usually not a visible as a break in the bone. More like microscopic inflammation.

Reactions do not require surgery and conservative treatment can heal. Will it return with playing time in the NFL is the question.
Tough decision for teams at the top.
Once he gets past 3 it becomes an easier decision to take him.

There are three teams ahead of us. They can't all just take Hunter. If it goes 1) Hunter 2) Ward... who is third?

Mike.. that's a good question.. with the Carter news.. this definitely impacts who goes where... I wish I could say Graham...

I've had 4 foot surgeries since I was a kid (I'm currently 60). The most recent being 3 years ago when I had an artificial ankle joint implanted (which also required the Achilles Tendon being stretched). That surgery was performed by now retired renowned foot surgeon Robert Anderson. He's the one that was often mentioned on sports websites whenever a Pro Athlete sought a 2nd opinion for a foot issue.

If Carter's situation is not another Dominique Easley, and it sounds like it's not even close to being so (what the hell was Bill thinking), and will not prohibit him from being a long-time and dominant player, than this could actually work in our favor. It's too early to know what is really going on. We just have to hope that the Patriots Medical Staff know their stuff. This is a new wrinkle, but I wouldn't completely write him off until we know much more.

Vrabel should accidentally step on the foot when he shakes his hand and see how he reacts.

At the end of the round you have to consider some injury risks at 4 overall you should get someone spotless. Hopefully this is much to do about nothing for Carter's sake and so he pushes Hunter to us lol.

Carter will drop big time.

Teams will go over him with a fine toothed comb:

It's a weird situation where the spotless guy isn't anywhere near Carter. There is a gap between Carter and Graham.

I’d be disappointed with Graham at 4,
I’d rather trade down.

A Disruptive DT who's well Coached: Hmmm you are alone there guy.

I know where you're going LTD: it's a very Deep DT Draft: But I believe if you can get the #1 at the position you take him.

It’s a deep draft for those kind of guys.
