Royals season ended in late October with a foot injury and may drop to the 2nd or 3rd round due to that. Great talent, but I am very leery at this point of the Saints drafting guys with injury histories. A history of durability needs to be a requirement for at least the next few drafts, IMO.
Correct he’s likely a day 2 prospect. With his production last year and this year however I think there’s a chance he could sneak into the end of round 1 if he blows up at the combine.
While I get wanting guys to be healthy with how the last few seasons have gone, I also want guys to be talented. There definitely is a balance that needs to be had. To my knowledge that foot injury was the only injury he had in college and not enough to sway me from wanting to draft him. Any player can have a 1 off injury, and I don’t think the foot injury is likely to have any long term effects or additional risk of reinjury.
