That would be as bad as taking a tackle in the first round with a significant injury that would limit his ability to catch up to the NFL level for at least a few seasons...

Remember there was some doubt when the Bengals drafted their only Hall of Famer out of college because of significant knee injuries.  And there are also countless cases where the player was durable in college and glass in the NFL (Chris Perry).  

Almost every pick in Rd 1 has some warts of some kind.  However, it is a very deep draft of really good talent on defense and I am sure they will be adding depth at LB, DT, DE, and possibly CB.
