I wouldn't necessarily say that, but what the injury is needs to be assessed.

I would say the bigger problem is the injury often prevents seeing them able to work out to really get a good assessment of explosiveness, agility, speed, etc.

Tape shows a lot, but a live workout also helps. And if they haven't played a game in like a year or so, a workout is especially important.

On that basis I guess the Bengals wouldn't have drafted its first HOF player.

Your 'argumentative troll' is starting to stand out. To troll properly, you need to add in some constructive, positive content so that people don't start to catch on.

How many QBs are going before 17?
Maybe 3? If so that means we should be able to get the 14th best non-QB. There should be some very good guys available and I would hope we do not target any offensive player unless the guy is an amazing offensive lineman.

I'm pretty good with where we are drafting. It's not always the top 5/10 guy that ends up being the best at a positional group.

I'm more willing to sit and take the BPA at 17. There should be some impact guys at spots we need (Edge, S, CB, OG). There also should be a WR or TE that would help immensely as well if we go that route.

I think it's just 2 this year. Sanders from Colorado and Ward from Miami.

It's not a great QB draft and that might be all the QBs taken in the entire first round unless someone jumps up into the bottom of the 1st to get a 5th year option on a 2nd round guy.

Agree.  I think these Milroe in the top 10 mocks are crazy.  I could see a surprise guy go in front of us since teams are so desperate.

Either way, there should be plenty of guys we can use at 17.

Yep. QBs always jump up the board once the combine comes around, but the pool is so much smaller this year to start...
