A toe injury shouldn?t be a risk down the stretch, so i think even if this is true, he?s still a mid 1st.
4-6 months is a long time and there is no guarantee that the surgery won't make it worse. He needs it done before the draft to have any chance to still be a first rounder.
If he drops to our second and we don't end up with McFadden in the first, then there's absolutely no reason not to take him there. The kid is an absolute beast. I highly doubt that would happen but I can dream, can't I?
Remember Willis McGahee. His knee was basically lunch meat, and he still went in the first round. Stewart has a problem with ONE toe...it should only keep him out for mini-camp.
