Well, that has to take him off the board at 3.
some dumb guy

That seals it, with the 3rd...or 9th...or 12th...pick. The cardinals take Francis Mau-i-go-a to the hospital for back surgery and then will be ready to start in 2027...maybe

poor kid, that sucks. back issues are no joke. I could see him sliding to the second round.
Herniated disc doesn't have to mean surgery.That seals it, with the 3rd...or 9th...or 12th...pick. The cardinals take Francis Mau-i-go-a to the hospital for back surgery and then will be ready to start in 2027...maybe
Time and rehab can help it fix itself.
But like I said before. They never fully go away. Huge red flag.

If correct, that likely drops his value considerably. I don't wish back problems on anyone.

Bailey has to be the pick at 3….if we trade down to 9 or 12 they could still get proctor ( who the browns supposedly love) or the Georgia kid….o line still in play

Hes definitely off the table at #3 but wouldnt surprise me if he is still an option in a trade down.
Almost assures us we will draft him….

"sources say....." i am not taking any "sources say, week of the draft" rumors as fact.
So he has both a herniated disc AND teams arent at all concerned with his medicals.
I think this has more to do with fans overrating the seriousness of disc issues than faulty reporting. You put the average weightlifter under an MRI and you would probably find half of them have a partially herniated disc with no symptoms. There is a lot of variation in the severity of disc issues. It sounds like whatever Mauigoa has is not as serious as the problems Rob Gronkowski had coming out of college.
Gronk had 3 disc issues in his career and each time came back at full strength. In general a microdisectomy is a super high success rate procedure for football players. An ACL tear is much more worrisome and people dont bat an eye at drafting a guy with an ACL tear high (Jameson Williams).
If there were reports of multiple bulging discs I would be concerned. If he needs surgery he can recover, if he doesn't, disc issues can actually heal without intervention.

This is your regular everyday normal injury. Then he's off to the brawling pits for the next decade(+). Guess I should consider myself lucky.
Although, if there was a granted chance of glory it would be hard to pass up.
