I'd bet he slips out of the top 10.

I agree.

i could still see the 49ers picking him up

And this comes out a week before the draft? What sh-ty timing, sucks for him.

It does stink for him but thank goodness for our Skins that this news got out - I would pass on Branch now - there are too many options with players who have a clean bill of health out there.

all the teams have known about this. i am guessing that is why he hasn't seemed to be an object of our affection. i guess there is debate about whether he actually has stress fractures but considering the other issues that have been raised this guy is going to end up being a steal for someone in the later half of the 1st round.

I thought him slipping out of the top ten was like month old news.

One way to look at this is that it completely explains the combine workout. The other, obviously, is that he's damaged goods.

Yes. Thank goodness he didn't appear to be on our radar. Bad news for him, for sure.

MMMMM.......49ers won't pass on him anyway....
