    2 1/2 games for anyone in 3 years is not a lot of time missed.

    NFL draft profile says he missed 3 games because of injury.

    "Missed bowl game in 2013 due to knee injury, two games in 2014 due to partially torn bicep and seven games in 2015 due to receiving impermissible benefits."

    Your really arguing over 1/2 a game? He missed time from the game before the bowl game due to his knee. If it was at the beginning of the season who knows how long it could have plagued him. He also still had his leg/ankle injury in the next bowl game. The NFL seasons are longer, the players are bigger and more physical. You go from playing roughly 12 games to 20+ in the NFL including pre-season and post if your team makes it.

    You are missing the point entirely.

    I think you are, bud. Yes technically he missed 3 actual games. It just happens that two of the big injuries were bowl games. The fact is the guy has durability concerns. Spin it anyway you want, these are the facts. Wait until a longer, more stressful NFL season takes a toll on the guy.

    So was Darrelle Revis not a shutdown cb for half his career when he got 0-3 interceptions? He absolutely changed the defense by being able to blanket anyone. If we can eliminate the top wr's from catching the ball, that'll have a bigger impact than 4 interceptions and frankly, CAUSE more picks, sacks, fumbles because the defense can load up to defend the other receivers and force the qb to hold the ball!

    The number 1 trait of a cb is not interceptions. If it were, why did the Rams let Jenkins walk?

    wake me up when something happens!!! Tunsil or Ramsey...Ramsey or Tunsil..;_));-))) If healthy Vasquez would be a nice pick up. Great if he could play RT.;))) Now a days you need fast LT & RT because teams have two speed rushers.

    Most seasons, someone says this guy is the best LT to come out in years! Blah blah blah

    A lot of people thought Manziel would be great and Bridgewater would bust. Those of us who evaluate the tape and the person had a better idea!

    We'll see his amazing athleticism whe he puts it on display so we can compare it

    3 games in 3 years. There is no proof that injuries in college translate to injuries in the NFL. Lewan was healthy as an ox in college and he has had injuries problems in the NFL.

    Every player is different. Locker played through injuries all the time in college. How'd that turn out?

    If that's the case than why isnt Jaylon Smith easily a top 5 talent in this draft talked about anymore? So what if he'll redshirt a season in the NFL, under everyone's logic college injuries don't translate to NFL and players are coming back from acl like nothing now.
