CHRIS BORLAND.....A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN OPINIONS ON HIM AS AN NFL PROSPECT

[sharpe1027]

Except that, understandable concerns aside for the moment, he played for the better part of two years and did not suffer from it again. So he is a light year or so ahead of Datko in that department. He has demonstrated on the field he has recovered.

What that means long term, I have no idea.

It means if he injures it again and we draft him then we should have known better. It also means if we don't draft him and he does well, then we should have known better.

You have been posting long enough to know that by now.

Yup, all because the Packers have the NFL's only truly incompetent medical staff, awards not withstanding.

Repped. Perhaps we can print this on a T-Shirt with a picture of Justin Harrell.

[Bretsky]

I think you would be challenged to find anything who really liked the Justine Harrell pick

A least a few in here would like Borland

Truth be told I'm not sure he's a fit in Green Bay. We need some extreme speed at LB so San Fran and Seattle don't keep making is their bitches. With the speed...he also needs to be able to play....aka..Brad Jones...Goodbye

But I do think he'll be successful in the NFL

[Carolina_Packer]

I'd take him on my team...in the right round. If he slides enough, draft him.

I feel the need for speed

That's right, we need someone dangerous.

[sharpe1027]

Wist?

I don't understand the question.

Nice job on the research Patler.

Borland was a great college player. I'm not convinced he'll be a great pro player unless he's in the right scheme. I don't think he's a great fit in GB and would prefer a bigger, faster ILB.
The injuries are a concern and many are dinging Mosley in another forum topic for it.

Not that I absolutely think Mosley is Patrick Willis and Borland is DJ Smith, but I worry about Borland's ability to consistently take on a OG or cover a TE when he's giving up 4-5 inches in height/arm length.

Patler with some good draft prognostication:

Bad shoulder knocks Badgers' Borland off one NFL draft board

or perhaps, Patler is a mole trying to get Borland to fall to a team in the late 2nd/early 3rd.

In other news, some things have not changed:

Meanwhile, executives with three teams said their medical people weren't concerned about the concussion history of Badgers wide receiver Jared Abbrederis.

According to the article, he had two surgeries on his left shoulder and one on the right. I was aware of only the two on his left shoulder. I would not invest a high draft choice in a linebacker who has had three shoulder surgeries already.

Borland was a true freshman in 2009 when he played with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. After the season, he underwent surgery and sat out spring practice.

In 2010, Borland injured the same left shoulder early in the season, played in just two games and had more surgery. In December 2010, he had surgery on his right shoulder for a torn labrum.
