Agreed! Why others in here can't realize what you're saying if facts is beyond me!

Receiver is one of the best early picks you can make based on positional value. WR2 are getting $15 mill a year in FA. If you get a WR1 in the first round of the draft you’re saving $20m a year for five years.

Downs is a fine player. Maybe he has a Jamal Adams type career. Not a game changer.

Yeah that one bad injury. He also broke his clavicle the next year and had a hamstring injury the following year. A few games each of those seasons he missed, but that doesn't point to being injury prone.

Pirate king hates the pick.

Headed to Kalishi to make a future all pro prediction on Tyson now

All completely unrelated injuries, and of them the hamstring would be the most concerning if it was something he dealt with throughout college, but it only popped up last year.

The knee he played 3 seasons on after, and the bone injury, as long as it was properly reinforced, shouldn't be an issue. As long as his hamstring has fully healed there is no injury concern.

Got tired of arguing that point. He essentially missed an entire season, then played in something like 15 straight games before the bone break.

Our medical staff sucks. Like worst in the league.

We had near the fewest soft tissue injuries in the league last year per underhill on his pod

And he tried to play through the hammy and injured tje other one. So he really could've taken few games off but he wanted to be out there.

His route running and explosion out of his routes is easily the best in the draft. He can go up and get the ball too.

And the bone break was late in the season and allowed him to fully rehab before the next.

As long as the hamstring proves to be a one off, there is literally nothing here. So knock on wood the hamstring was just a bad sprain that has healed fully.

Sadly just a lot of freak one off injuries.

We are due for good injury luck one of these years with how bad it's been the last 3 or 4.

Much happier with Tyson at 8 than I’d be going Tate at 4.
