Important stat:

 

The Panthers have no plan.

Everything but the injuries seems great.  Outstanding first interview.  I hope they used better Drs this time and are correct on th medical.  If they are this could end up an incredible pick as his upside is undeniable.

I get that, and yet none of those injuries are career enders for young lineman nowadays. So yes it's a raised risk. But not exactly a guaranteed career ruiner either. High risk high reward. Again drafting super conservatively can be just as big an issue. For every "drafted Sidney Jones with an achilles injury" story there's also a "scared to draft Metcalf cause of a neck injury" story.  Not that either are remotely comparable to ACL injuries in a lineman but still. 

Funny part is that you went straight to the extreme.  There's nothing wrong with just drafting good players without the question marks.  Why does it have to be 'high risk, high reward' or 'no risk, no reward'... from the Sydney Jones to the JJAW?   Why not just get good players that know how to play and don't have baggage of injuries or just no skill?   

There were lots of options in each of those drafts that they could have gone with rather than risky picks, or risk averse?  In this draft there were still a ton of options for them to add talent without the caveat of 'if he can get healthy'.  This isn't about staying healthy for Dickerson, its about getting healthy, something that he has yet to prove he could do at the collegiate level.  Why would we expect that he could do it in the NFL, when he couldn't do it once in the NCAA?

Yea but a team that didn’t really need a TE and who wasn’t linked to Ertz took the second best guy.

Nice find.

Every scouting report I've read has been extremely high on him.  I have yet to read a single report that doesn't have him among the best linemen in the draft.

That's great.  Sidney Jones was considered a top 10 CB.  14 different line combinations last year.  14.  I'll gladly take a guy with slightly less talent who has a clean bill of health.

The problem with Dickerson is he's a big IF.  Round 2 isn't the place to be taking ifs. 

So someone like DK Metcalf would have been off your board until the end of the draft with his back issues?

Huh?

Actually the way the board is falling it's perfect for the Eagles to trade down.

I'd settle for a non-head scratcher or medical red flag.

I'll say it again.  Dickerson NEVER finished a college season. 

Panthers 1st/2nd round picks are what I was hoping the Eagles combo would be lol

You were late and used a spoiler tag.  Now I have something to complain about.

Has anyone questioned his talent?   That's not the concern here.

So if the injuries aren’t a concern, why was he there?

Thats rhetorical.

And he's going to Joe Brady offense.  That helps Darnold a lot.
