Keionte Scott is a guy who I think would be an awesome fit for what Parker wants to do, I just wouldn't take him at 20.

If we could move down about 10 or so spots and add a 2nd he'd be an excellent target.

I agree, I think the nickel may be a bit of a safety, corner hybrid type in what we want to do. And that's what this guy fits in my opinion. The first is way too rich. But he won't last to the fourth. It's why a trade down feels so necessary for this team. If you can aquire a second or third round pick that's what I would use on this guy.

So he runs at his Pro Day. Blazes a 4.3 forty.

Is available in the fourth round. You'd say, nah OFF MY BOARD!

I always find it funny when someone says a guy should be off the board. Unless its a massive charecter issue or a career ending injury they would be on my board. Just moved down.

Yeah, I would. I don't want injured players. I'm sick of it.

If you're only drafting players that have never had any kind of injury in the past, your board is going to be awfully small.

Where do you draw the line?

Well you're crazy sir. Career ending injury in your book.

I agree with you in theory. There's a point with most injury risk guys that it makes sense to take the risk and draft him anyway, whether it's the 3rd round or 4th or whatever.

To be fair, though, if you knock a guy like McCoy down to around the 4th round on your board you're effectively taking him off your board anyway because someone will almost certainly take him before that.

And that's fair. But you never know what others think. We knocked Revel down to the third round last year. Maybe we should have knocked him down further. We have no idea when another team would have taken him. But he still would have been on my list of players. That's all I'm saying.

Frankly I'd grade a player on their film. Then I'd just have some sort of a negative number for the injury based on severity and point in recovery. But there should at least be some point that you look at a player and go, the talent outweighs the injury. Everyone gets hurt. And even if he isn't healthy today, it's not an injury that is likely to end his career. So I'd still have a point that I'd be ok drafting the player.

Now in this case, I'm not comfortable in the first. Maybe his private workout could change my opinion but had he rocked it today, I actually would have been ok at 12. Theoretically he should be 100% back by now. But we have seen that doesn't always happen that quickly with these injuries.

For guys that tore their ACL and took 450 days to heal? Might be a good starting point. It might sound irrational, but I want guys who are going to be on the field. How often does taking injured players work out for us? Seems like we have a pretty bad track record.

Minor injuries, I'm not worried about.

We don't know that he isn't healed. That's your speculation. Based on what? That he doesn't want to test at the combine? BFD. A lot of guys are doing that now, preferring to test on their school's pro day. He'll still be doing the medical shit at the combine, as far as I know.

If he doesn't test at his pro day, then I'll worry. Until then, it's a non issue.
