There is risk for sure. But his game is real, and it is a perfect fit for us. He's stout vs the run, physical at the point, and gets to the QB. One of those players where measurables go out the window.

Unfortunately that medical is a concern but we wouldn't be able to touch that dude if his neck was good. He's a top ten edge IMO. Kind of guy who could end up being the best player from this draft in five years.
At first I thought he's a medical risk so teams should stay away. Then I thought he's not gonna last till 19 anyway ( as long as he clears medically) so who cares.. Finally, I figure if we can get this stud at pick 19 and keep him for 4 or 5 years at Edge, even if his medical condition worsen and he retires after that... he is still definitely worth it. But there are are other edges moving up too, and one of the best Corners will be there at 19 as well. So many good players at 19. So glad I'm not McSnead.

I'll never forgive the Rams if my man DeJean is available and they pass on him.

Mitchell and Wiggins balled out today (before Wiggins hurt himself). Arnold was relatively disappointing in athletic testing. As was Rakestraw. Since it was a close race for top CB, Mitchell may have solidified himself with an outstanding athletic profile. Arnold may be the CB available to us now, who I liked as my top CB.

Wiggins weighing only 173 lbs was a big ouch for me. He's got the length speed and ability to play a corner but man is that a skinny dude.

Maybe I am getting too caught up in the combine, not necessarily the workouts, but seeing game tape of these guys as they are working out. It does look like there will be a ton of value in rds 2 & 3. I would have no issue with multiple trade downs to late rd 1 or even early rd 2, in order to get more top 100 picks. They can really set this team up for the future with last yrs draft and another banger this year.

It would also put them in position to even sacrifice next yrs draft a bit, if they have to trade multiple picks to move up for a future QB.
 
What are the red flags?
I’d say the narrative around avoiding additional medicals at the combine, repeated stories around trying to get around rookie contracts, CBA requirements and questions around work ethic and coachability. Any team that drafts him will have done their due diligence and made a risk based decision (as is with all draft picks). Seems like a risk
