Does injury really effect your draft stock?

You’ll be okay, Matt.

Willis McGhee it defiantly effected him

Corral will be fine, his ballsack only helps with real GM’s

A rolled ankle doesn't

I think Byron Leftwich getting carried down the field was one of his selling points when the jaguars wasted their first round pick on him.

True was 20
Years ago modern medicine and
Healing has helped knee injuries , but was only answering the question in affected him

Now that there’s proper medical care and analytics readily available to just about everyone in D1/FBS, unless the injury is life threatening or career ending, it really doesn’t matter anymore. Not only that but depending on the injury history, some come back better than ever with more knowledge of how to better take care of themselves.

The Denver Broncos selected Butt with the first pick of the fifth round at No. 145 overall, ending a slide stemming from his torn ACL in the Orange Bowl against Florida State.

Butt had taken a $2 million loss-of-value policy that he started collecting insurance on when he wasn't picked in the top half of the third round Friday night.

He first started collecting, at $10,000 a pick tax-free, in the middle of the third round, a source with knowledge of the policy with ISI told ESPN. By being passed over in the fourth round as well, Butt was set to receive $543,000 on the policy.

The 2016 Mackey Award winner for the best tight end in the nation, Butt suffered a second torn ACL in the Orange Bowl. The subsequent surgery prohibited him from showing teams what he could do.

Prior to Butt's injury, he was projected to be picked near the top of the second round, which would have grossed about $4 million in guaranteed money. As the first pick in the fifth round, Butt will receive about $380,000 in guaranteed money.

With the $543,000 of tax-free insurance money equated to about $900,000 that is taxed, that means the Orange Bowl injury cost Butt around $2.8 million.

Butt took out a $2 million total disability policy with a $2 million loss-of-value policy attached before the start of the season. The loss-of-value rider cost roughly $25,000, a source said.

It's only one example. Put yourself in his shoes. Would you regret that decision?

It did, cost him the number 1 pick.

I think Burrow passed him on draft boards before his injury.

Looks like Butt should have opted out of the entire season then. No point in ever taking a risk, right.
