Re: 2017 Draft Prospects
 

I usually watch the entire 2nd and 3rd rounds too.[/QUOTE]

The first round has become an event; a show for TV. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds are where the bread is buttered. It is what builds depth and, when lucky, can yield a bonafide starter/star. Those rounds are just more intriguing to me now because of all the pomp & circumstance associated with round 1. The "other" rounds are where great football teams are built. Just my opinion. HTTR

From NFL Network -

UCLA linebacker Takkarist McKinley is another prospect who has drawn medical concerns from teams ahead of the draft. He underwent shoulder surgery following the NFL Scouting Combine to repair a torn labrum and fix a glenoid fracture.

Teams have different evaluations on McKinley -- some believe he has a chance to be ready for the season, but according to many, the belief is he'll start the year on non-football injury (NFI) list and have to miss six games as a result
