Tell me you don't read the link without telling me you don't read the link:

So not a knee injury, I minor hamstring injury that they had minor surgery on. Yet you NEVER STOP banging on about it like they drafted a guy with a torn ACL.

My recollection is he had a history of nagging minor injuries. I don’t think he was technically red flagged by anyone, nonetheless I’m sure there were concerns. He was picked earlier than most projected him. It’s fair to say he was a bit of a reach where he was taken. The Cards needed a rusher in a draft in a lean draft for that position. Still his rookie year was actually on pace with developmental prospects who became useful players. IMO he still has a chance to be a solid rusher assuming he hasn’t been impaired by his injuries. I expect him to have a decent contribution this year as the Cards figure to have a challenging rush coming from numerous pressure points. If they get a DT who can collapse the pocket, this will be fun to watch.

He was one of the youngest players in that draft. He doesn't turn 23 until April. He was drafted where he was due to the stage he was at just 20.

I am on record as being highly skeptical of Beej, but I cannot argue with your post. This is a level, reasoned take, Harry.
