If McGahee can still get drafted in the 1st round after destroying his knee,
I think Stewart wont have a problem.  At the very least, he'll be an early
2nd.

SOME DON'T THINK INJURY WILL HURT STEWART

On the surface, Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart's surgery to
repair a broken bone in his foot has raised red flags.  But some
league insiders appreciate the fact that Stewart addressed the
situation now, even though it puts his short-term financial interests
at risk.

"It's not a real big deal," said one league source.  "I don't think he
gets out of round one.  He's simply too talented.  It's not really, in
my opinion, any different than Heath Miller having surgery to repair a
sports hernia before the draft.

"I actually think it's responsible and somewhat honorable that he had
it fixed now.  He did it so he'd be ready for camp at the expense of
his draft stock.  A lot of players would not have done that.  I think
it reflects positively on the kid and I don't think teams will hold it
against him.  He's too good.  The Bills drafted Willis McGahee in
round one, and Stewart is every bit as good with a much less serious
injury."
