Sad for him. You really hate to see that. I hope he is able to recover quickly. 
 

This means one less guy that goes off the board before we pick at 25. Tough because he’s not a position of need, had the potential to push a few guys down we would be more inclined to take.

Elite passrusher is ALWAYS a position of need.  If he’s still there at 25 it’s a real conversation.

gives us the option to trade down or even just take him as a future guy.

I wouldn’t take him RD1

 

If he’s around when we pick again in RD2… maybe. If he’s there in RD3 I’m running to the podium or trading up if I’m Beane. 
 

This will be a tough evaluation for teams.

Sure. If he was healthy I think it’s a conversation, he would likely be BPA. 
 

I wouldn’t touch an Achilles tear in the 1st round. It’s not a conversation there at 25.

It’s not a position of need. And it’s a major worry coming off an Achilles injury. But this kid is elite. Just in a short 3min vid this kid had like 6 strip sacks. He’s a turnover machine. 
 


hes 100% in the conversation at 57. And honestly, it should be thought about if it’s at 25.

Unless it's a franchise QB you can draft a first round player to sit a year especially when you don't know how he will recover.  I'm not sure much about his game but if he requires a burst from that foot I would imagine he won't be himself for two years.  I know this is similar to mcgahee and I'm not confident we did the best thing in that situation.  Could McGahee been a much better back than he was, I would imagine so.

First round picks should skip all underwear drills. Only ends up bad. Go for the interviews and medical and nothing more. 
 

let your tape do the talking. 

Kayvon Thibodeaux took some criticism for leaving the combine early because he said the drills were so far apart in time. But why risk injury when he has little to gain and a lot to lose?
