Round 4, pick 1. 101st pick overall.

Edit: for those wondering about everything going on with McCoy’s knee and health:



For those not wanting to watch a 1-2 minute video:


“NFL Reporter Charles Robinson Explains Jermod McCoy's Draft Slip: "It's not the ACL tear issue, that’s fine...He has a bone plug, which was basically a piece of bone and cartilage was used to repair a degenerative cartilage issue in that same knee, and now there is a thought process among doctors that this is now going to have to be replaced again… And I had one team tell me that if there’s a severe slip it’s because there are some teams that are taking the position that if this next surgery, which would likely knock him out for the entirety of the year, is not successful, it will effectively end his career"”

“Because what you’re doing to fix it, is you’re taking a piece of bone and cartilage from somewhere else in that knee - that [bone and cartilage] is not necessarily load-bearing - and you’re transporting it to try to fix the defect. And you can’t keep doing this over and over again.”

He's a no-brainer in the 4th round.

I knew he was going to fall more than the analysts were saying. I suspected his injury was worse than led on and that's why he didn't come back. But the vast majority of 4th round draft picks don't pan out. And getting a potential top 10 talent in the 4th is a steal. Honestly a bit surprised no one gambled on him in the mid/late 3rd.

Wishing him a speedy recovery and that he is able to fully get back to form and get a big NFL contract in the future.

I’ll predict he has a longer career than anyone the raiders drafted before him this year…

Wow, that all sounds horrible. And just really bad luck that this all happened.

So is this what caused him to tear it or did they just discover it when they went in to do surgery? It sounds like the doctor screwed McCoy, is this the case? Why was it not fixed right when they did surgery?

It was fixed with a bone plug.
Picture a golf divot replaced but doesn’t tie back in with the grass around it as expected.

Agree with that. The question is how long will the new plug last and how often will if have to be replaced. Apparently the first plug is not lasting very long and if it is required every two years, his playing time between surgeries may be every 2-3 years resulting in playing less than 50% of the time he is his still trying to,play. It is a very difficult situation for both him and his team. Hopefully, a new/different procedure might change the need for frequent recurring surgeries. Wish I knew more about the procedure.

I’ll find out here. They have to much fluff in the later rounds. Honestly after round 3 they should just draft off camera.
Players don’t even show up to walk the stage.

This.

Reminds me of Trey Smith.

Trey played his last season and showed he was able to play.

McCoy could possible be 2yrs removed from playing ball if he gets this second survey and the possibility of losing a step and/or scared of hurting that knee again may hinder him.

Glad he got drafted but I probably would’ve took a flyer on him late 5th or 6th.

I hope you are right.

I am afraid he will never play a down in the NFL. That would be a shame. He has such talent. Although I would like to see him have a great career, I don't want to see him confined to a cane/walker at an early age because football aggravated his knee.

If healthy, JMac can help return the Raider Defense into some semblance of what it once was. I remember when the Men in Black were much more feared than the "Steel Curtain" or "Purple People Eaters."
