Don't draft KC, TE Tony Gonzalez...

He is going under surgery on his foot, news say he will lost most part of the season, if not, the whole of it.

I can't find a link on this anywhere. If he can't provide a source, we'll delete this thread.

He might be confusing Gonzalez & Shockey. Here's some info on Shockey's foot from Yahoo news.

Jul 23 Giants tight ends Jeremy Shockey won't be ready for the start of training camp, but the rehab on his surgically repaired right foot is going well. Michael Eisen, writer and editor for the team's official web site, noted that Shockey would "hopefully" be ready "to practice about two weeks into training camp. His foot should be sufficiently strengthened so it will not be a worry during the season."

Views: It sounds like Shockey is right on his original schedule, so that's good news. Stress fractures can be tricky, but we're anticipating that Shockey will be ready for the regular season.

Since Gonzales is the elite player at that position it probably worht the risk to still take him. If the reports are wrong then you have the diference maker on your team. If he is really hurt then for the most part that TE you sign as free agent is going to pretty much the same quality as the 7th or 8th place guy.


Of course, this is less a concern if you are in league that drafts closer to the start of the season instead of the start of training camp.

Rotoworld is my favorite source for daily sports news and injury reports. Gonzo's name hasn't appeared, so all should be well with him as a draft pick.
