Kinlaw?

[Cardsmasochist]

Did anyone read Walter Mitchell's article on Javon Kinlaw on ROTB?

Kinlaw has tendonitis in his knee and had hip surgery in college.

Yet Peter Schrager of the NFL Network and Mel Kiper have Kinlaw going in the top 10.

How would you feel if the Cardinals spent the 8th pick overall on Javon Kinlaw?

Nope. If we traded down to ~16-20 though, I'd take him.

I don't like that he has tendinitis in his knees at what, 23 years old? No thanks. We really need to nail this pick and not dick around with it.

This, screw the bust or boom potential aspect. Take a freaking proclaimed stud without the least chinks in his armor. Yeah, it's still a crap shoot but I would rather we draft a guy who is considered a bust because he is only good for a top ten and not great than taking a guy who is out of the league. We are drafting in the top ten... we have the luxury of not having to reach

I think taking Kinlaw is very much a Reddick type move - I'd be very unhappy.

Yeah, I was surprised when I read that. I really hope we are not spending a 1st on Kinlaw. I really don't know what Kiper and Schrager are thinking.

Please Keim don't get cute.

Wasn’t Keim said to like the DT from TCU, Blackock?

he has injury issues too.

I agree it would suck but for different reasons.

No way I touch anyone with that injury at #8. My son was a D1 college football player and suffered from that and after several of the latest and greatest procedures was never able to function when it flared up.

I love the kids story but feel like he has the highest bust potential in the first round.

 

[WildBB]

Higher risk/reward. Shouldn't be the pick at 8 though.

 

[BACH]

Yes. But not at #8.
