Unless Hamilton’s knee injury is problematic, I doubt he will last until 10.

Don’t believe it was ACL or MCL but something that kept him out since October game with USC. He’ll be thoroughly probed and examined at combine so we’ll know more then.
Kyle Hamilton had a "fat pad impingement"
Inflammation of the fat pad in the knee can be a stand-alone condition or can exist with other knee conditions such as patella tendinopathy or patellofemoral (knee cap) pain. The majority of the fat pad sits underneath the knee cap, and can be felt as a ‘spongy/soft’ region. It is also known as Hoffa’s fat pad. It can become inflamed if you bang/knock your knee directly (e.g. falling onto your knee), or can be due to overuse. It is most common in active individuals particularly dancers and those that kneel as part of their job (e.g. a carpenter), but can also be an issue with runners and footballers. An MRI scan is the best way of diagnosing fat pad inflammation.
Physiotherapy is the first line treatment for fat pad inflammation and is likely to involve a period of taping and activity modification if the pain is severe followed by rehabilitation to strengthen weak muscles around the knee. However, it is not uncommon that an ultrasound guided injection is required to settle the inflammation and should certainly be considered if pain is not settling. A steroid injection can provide rapid pain relief and speed up your recovery.

Thanks for that GMF. Don't see anything there as to long term effects, healing other than pain management from steroid and other injections. My question would be is this guy gonna be a cripple after 5 years. Are there any other NFL guys with similar conditions and what can we learn from them.
Some more thoughts. (gmf, if you think this should be broken out into a separate thread, please do)
We are all in agreement that Wilson needs a better supporting cast and there have been various approaches mentioned to doing this.
But if you listen to the announcers on tv games for the past years, at one time or another they have all said the same thing - 'The quarterback's best friend is his tight end".
SO, I began thinking, when was the last time the Jets have had a tight end who can strike fear into the other team; the ability to turn any pass from anywhere on the field into a touchdown? The last ones I remember were Barkum and Caster.
The game has changed, and more of the good teams are using the tight end as a major weapon.
Why should the Jets wait until the later rounds to fill that spot with a player who is just OK?
I'm beginning to think that if the top TE prospect is there at 10, the Jets could do a lot worse than picking him there.

I agree that TE is a must early round selection, but we should be able to get at least one of the top three at the top of Round 2. I'm hoping for McBride at either 35 or 38.
My bad. I posted early in the morning. Thanks for correcting me, Old#15.
Hoffa's fat pad syndrome also called fat pad impingement, infrapatellar fat pad syndrome, and Hoffa's disease, is a condition characterized by anterior knee pain, pain in the center, and front of your knees, due to inflammation of the Hoffa's fat pad.
And no it is NOT Jimmy Hoffa, for you smart asses out there...
With Surgery:
Severe pain, an antalgic block, and defensive behavior are considered diagnostic of fat pad impingement. In our cohort, Hoffa's test was positive in 86.2% of patients in the partial resection group and 84.6% of patients in the subtotal resection group.
Without Surgery:
“Generally, ice — a lot of ice — will help bring down the swelling that results from the impingement. Rest, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, and strength-building and stretch exercises are also usually advocated. Sometimes, the area can be taped so that the fat pad is not impinged on.
So honestly this could be a long term issue it will be on the medical check to assess the long term affects and will have to trust their diagnosis...
not going to disagree with you there!!!
Had the same thought, thanks for beating me to it.
Please tell me the Nittany Lions DE won’t be on this list . I’m beginning to like that kid
I don't know yet every one has to Feb. 4th to make a decision
players that stated they were going to NFL backed out to return to school
I posted some Sleeper Offensive Linemen in the Jets Global Forum
each prospect with their own topic/thread
enjoy the reads
the best one I think if he declares is Tennessee OT Darnell Wright
played a full season as a freshman at RT
split time LT/RT and RG in his sophomore campaign
and this year his Junior year played LT
also have his scouting report through the Tennessee Team page

Damn I liked Jarrett Patterson.
me too. he needs to work on strength, but his technical skills are sound. Sort of like BC's Lindstrom.
Exactly Right. Draft EDGE early. Get Me some guys who can get to the QB on a consistent basis and you will see changes happen.
Once again OL should be the priority right after Edge. GUARD should a priority. Dominate the Line of Scrimmage and you dominate the game.If the guy fits the scheme on either side of the ball does it make a difference what round He is drafted?
Ricky was another fave of mine! I am acquiescing to @gmf1369 's inclination for Cade Mays. 6'6', 325, brawler, nasty.
