No grooming needed here. He’s pro ready, best C in the country and the leader of one of the best college Olines in history. Yes the injury history concerns me but I’m not "throw ish at my TV” angry at all. He’s a long term successor at a very key position. 

He was so loved by his team and respected by Saban he was allowed to take a snap in the Natty with a torn ACL. Saban doesn't do stuff like that. He's got the same fire and drive as Kelce. Best college center in the country and it isn't close. (Plus I love his offsides dance)

I think there going CB next year in the first round. But agreed, they better address the Defense now. 

This run on olineman is helping some very good CBs get pushed down the board:

Aaron Robinson

Tay Gowan

Ifeatu Melifonwu

Paulson Adebo

Benjamin St-Juste

Robert Rochell

Israel Mukuamu

PFF can say whatever they want. We gave up 65 sacks. Good for the most with a 15 sack margin....... top ten for most sacks given up in a season EVER.

My concern is the injury history, waiting for him to be healthy.

We draft a team guy who was the leader and one of the most respected players on a all time team and Dallas drafts a guy kicked off of two teams for character issues.  Some things change and some things stay the same.

Not according to all the armchair GM's here that know more than Stoutland

Well no one will know because he probably doesn't even play this year.

Don't forget our guy is injury prone. Fits right in.

Dickerson is a beast. He played Center in the SEC. Gonna get dinged up there sometimes.

Nothing wrong with waiting for him to be healthy, imo. Reason I say that is draft picks are for the long term, not the short term. The concerns are obviously how the injuries will affect him long term and if he’ll continue to get injured at an alarming rate.

Maybe Jeff Stoutland pushed for this pick? I'll trust his judgement if that's the case. He's easily our best position coach, so maybe he thinks that strongly of Dickerson.

Oh well, if the Seahawks can get lucky with Metcalf, maybe our injury luck improves as well. At least the talent is there. Worst case scenario, this is another Sidney Jones gamble, but I think we'll fare better this time around. This isn't a JJAW selection where we pick an inferior talent too early though.

Dinged up is what happens when someone hits your car with a shopping cart not ran over by a monster truck. 

Kelce needs to stay healthy and groom this kid while they work on him.

Well the Good news is the player is not worried about it. He is looking forward to getting on the field and helping out the team. Watch his interview they asked about his injuries repeatedly. He didn't talk about it much other than to say he's ready to contribute.

I mean not only was he the best Center in college, he was the leader and heart of one of the best OLINEs ever. Love this. We got our next Kelce.

And it’s a fair concern. I just know this kid will lockdown the C position for the next decade.

Very true. I think the LSU nose guard was 360 lbs last year.

The team does not need the best sideline cheerleader because he is constantly injured. Do you trust this eagles medical staff to keep anyone healthy, I sure don't.  Also having an O-Line player with a history of knee and ankle injuries can't be a good thing.

I hope so! I always like investing in O line.

They just haven't drafted defense high in 4 years.

Here is his injury history, only one year was he not the best sideline cheerleader before the end of the season, hard to be the best if you cant complete a season

2016: Torn right ACL (season ending)

2017: Ankle (season ending)

2018: Ankle (medical redshirt, season ending)

2020: Torn left ACL (took a snap in title game
