You mean comparing an OT with injury issues to another OT with injury issues is unwarranted? Our medical staff obviously cleared Otah too.

I'd prefer not taking a guy in the 1st round with injury issues, especially one from Alabama. Those Alabama guys are already beat to hell by the time they get to the NFL. Saban kills those kids.

No. His knee is fine. After he had his "botched" surgery he went on to not miss a single game for two years. Most comparisons on this site are ridiculous. Any wr out of USC he's Jarrett. Cyrus is nothing like otah. Gtfo

Tons of teams supposedly flagged him for medical issues at the combine.  Only time will tell if his knee is "fine".  I'd rather not roll the dice on that at #28.  Yes, Dr. James Andrews said his knee is fine and he's the leading expert on the subject, but he's not perfect.  Too many question marks on that knee for my taste to take the kid in the 1st.

His knee is fine. Do some research [/quote=CarolinaCoolAid] No u ...in all seriousness. I don't see anything saying he is not with a bad knee. If this is another one of those events that takes place to have a player drop to us, I am all for it but I am weary of offensive linemen with knee problems. That's their livelyhood man. They need their knees in this NFL. Especially if they are playing 10+ years.

Star's heart condition was via an infection. Cyrus' knees are from botched surgery. His knees have been checked out already and the news isn't good.

 

But the botched surgery report, as well as reports of failed physicals, came from rumors at the combine.  But his doctors have refuted the botched surgery claim as well as that his knee is bad...so I really don't know. 

 

So, I'm just asking that if our team doctors evaluate him and determine that his knees should not be a problem, would people still have a problem taking him at 28?

Walter football has us taking him in the THIRD round of this week's mock. Fwiw.

 

That's about right, assuming several others are already off the board.

 

A lot of hype surrounding this guy but even with good knees, he is not a good LT.  He couldn't handle speed rush in college, tried to make up for it with size and strength.  The pros will eat him up.

You're simply choosing to take one side of the story.  Dr. James Andrews is the leading expert on the matter, but there seems to be a ton of other well qualified people who are disagreeing with him on this one.  There's not such thing as facts on a matter like this.  It's all opinion and it sounds like there are a lot more opinion saying "nay" than there are saying "yay".

 

Also, you mad.

This is the key right there.  Neutral, unbiased doctors are flagging the kid while HIS DOCTORS say he's fine.  I have zero experience in the medical field, but in my professional experience, neutral, unbiased opinions tend to be the more accurate opinions.

False. More are saying yay then nay. The majority say his knee is fine.

Also. You have no clue what you're talking about
