I believe it’s a no brainer to take him if he falls to us at 3rd round. He’d be top 15 if he had two hands

Where do you play him?

He's a cool story, but I think he will never be a full time starter. Teams will take advantage of his weaknesses...

Every analyst saying he’s a Day one special teams star. What’s his weakness? I understand he’s missing a hand, but other than that? JPP was still very productive with basically one hand. I think he’s a stud lb and to take a shot on him on a position we need, why not

Same was said about that gump Minkah. Shaq is an elite athlete. Find somewhere for him. Even if it’s certain packages, he flies around the field and has a nose for the ball

He's small and he obviously disadvantaged on one side.

He's missing fingers not a hand.

Draft him in the 5th, if he's still available. Worth a shot.

I feel like his nub is perfectly shaped for knocking balls out of people’s hand.

I feel like he's great in pass coverage, but he leaves us a little short-handed in run defense.

If he’s there in the 4th I’d take him.

Ok, this is just not cool, but I’ll admit I chuckled.

Supposedly, when Jeff Ireland was in Florida, he went to all of Griffin's games. He got a deal for season tix on StubHub.

You see guys play with hand injuries (broken fingers, etc where they have to wrap the hand and can’t grab.

It hurts his value but day three to get a great athlete that’s all heart.... I take that.
