Giants select Azeez Ojulari

Could end up being a good pick for them. 

PFF loved them some Dickerson:

Dickerson was hands down the best center in the country this past season and earned a 91.3 overall grade to lead the position. He’s played every offensive line position at one point or another in his college career. If it weren’t for the torn ACL he suffered in the SEC title game — the second ACL tear of his career — Dickerson would be a top-25 player in the class.

 

The ankles don't bother me, he had no problems his two years starting at Alabama. The ACLs depend if they're clean, players have torn the same ACL twice and have had long careers. It's when players tear multiple ligaments that they have more trouble getting back to 100%.

Casey Hampton, DT, Pittsburgh Steelers
The 325-pound All-Pro defensive tackle just finished the twelfth year of his NFL career despite having three ACL reconstructions, the first on his left knee in college in 1997 and his right knee twice while with the Steelers in 2004 and 2012.

I'm more worried about his legs than his head.   Both ACLs, and both ankles... this guy might need to become RoboCenter...

 

nah, wont matter he will play well qhen healthy, just like JP...   lol.  

 

 

 

he just wont be healthy much.  always rehabbing something.    Nothing new for us.

I thought Ojulari was in play for NYG at 11 before he was flagged for the knee. 

Azeez is a problem

I'm surprised to see the lack of love for the Dickerson pick. I'm ecstatic, he's the kind of guy good football teams are built around. 

The ecstasy is mitigated by the injury concern.   He's not a slam dunk.   When healthy... is a dangerous qualifier.

Hey, Lane's got a bum ankle.  Guess we should get rid of him in favor of who, a lesser talent who can stay on the field?

They probably should look to replace Lane in the next couple of years if his ankle continues to be an issue.

Thomas Davis, LB, Carolina Panthers
Davis tore the ACL of his right knee three times in three years before returning to the Panthers this season.

 

Spin it...

You're acting like there is no reason to not like this pick when they just made this same mistake 2 years ago. Yea, forgive me for not believing this team will get lucky with someone coming off injury. Past 5 years have been great for us in that regard 

I agree but I also don’t hate the pick. Trying to stay as positive as I can through this rebuild.

One of the best IOL prospects in the draft.  I was thinking Humphrey as a C or Wyatt Davis as a G, but the Eagles land Dickerson who can play both at a high level.

Sure, he’s had injuries.  If he can get healthy he’s gonna be a very good NFL player, and valuable because of his versatility.  No doubt the talent and leadership is there.

@HazletonEagle   I would have preferred Trey Smith in the 3rd.   Great player.  Great person.  

maybe youll still get him in the 3rd.

Football Team selects Sam Cosmi, OT

 

Just getting in from band practice.....

They passed on Moehrig for Dickerson???

Wtf Howie...I was praising you on here last night and you go and do that shizz lol

Eagles take a player that would be a 1st rounder if not for medical concerns.  Sky is falling.

Giants take a player that would be a 1st rounder if not for medical concerns.  Damn, great pick.

Once it fully heals there's no need for a brace.  The brace just gets them on the field sooner.  

Tra Thomas thinks all OL should wear knee braces and I'm not sure why NFL teams don't make it mandatory just to simply protect their investments.

 

I know at BYU all the O lineman wear knee braces, and why shouldn't they? 

Most OL lower body injuries come from getting rolled up on from own team mates or defenders on the ground around their legs, it's not like OL are jumping or making sharp cuts or dragging dudes down, put on some effing knee braces!

Maybe Browns take Terrace Marshall and finally move on from OBJ

For Cornerback, would love Molden in the third. Safety, Ar'Darius Washington or Jamar Johnson. LB Baron Browning. Quite a few good players could be there.

He announced it as a guard. 

Maybe they intend to move seumalo to center After kelce retired and keep Dickson at guard. 

Landon Dickerson is really good at football guys.

So wait...it's impossible for Dickerson to come back and stay healthy? 

No.  I acknowledge the talent, but also acknowledge the inherent risk.  You are popping the champagne like there's no reason for concern.   

 

Wentz fails to finish seasons due to injury, he's an injury concern.   But, this guy fails to finish 3 out of 4 collegiate seasons due to major injuries and he's just a stud with no risk attached?

 Not now.  He’s a G/Tackle.  Again.  We need defense.  

defense shmefense

CBs are falling, we could get a good one at #70.

The Browns under Berry are very good at this.

Dickerson is either gonna be a great pick or a disappointment. There probably isn’t much in between given his injury history. And if we had to bet, of course I’d side with his injury history.
