If you never take injured players then you miss out on guys like Deshaun Watson, Leonard Fournette, and Anthony Munoz.

We have different views of drafting. That's why I'm better! 

Watson couldn't finish the year, although he is a better QB than Dalton, he wasn't available which knocks him down. Fournette would not have been my pick in the 1st round. Munoz was just the best LT ever and the team knew it was a gamble. But that was Paul Brown making the choice [totally different], not want-a-be-man like Mike Boy.
