As much as Carolinacoolin and other guys want to preach about this guy, the report right now by Ian Rappoport is that Cyrus is off at least 20 teams' boards all together, due to his knee.

@NFL_CFB: . @RapSheet says he's hearing Kouandjio off the board of about 20 teams (knee concerns). Says #Redskins team to watch w/ him.

There is concern from Alabama's team doctor, but only on the long term.

@RapSheet: Talked to #Bama doc Lyle Cain about Cyrus Kouandjio, who is off many boards. Said: No short-term concerns for cartilage wear. Only long-term

CarolinaCoolin so mad right now.  He's probably furiously working the phones to ESPN, NFLN, and individual team offices to let them know how stupid they are and how he knows for a FACT that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Cyrus Kouandjio's knees!!!  Dr. James Andrews said so dammit!!!

I wonder what they mean by long term?

Probably that the injury concern is there, but four, or so, years in the future. Much the same thing we heard about bowers when he came out of Clemson.

Good question.  Is "long term" 3-5 years, 10 years, 20+ years?  Hell, everyone that big is going to have long-term knee issues.  I have to assume that it's "long term" in terms of his football career which I would interpret to be closer to that 3-5 number.  I know Charlie Casserly said he'd take him if his medical staff was saying that he was good for 3-5 years and I assume a lot of GMs would agree with that at some point in the draft, but where is that point?  2nd round?  3rd?  Even later?

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
