When you draft players with injury history you don’t get to lament their latest one, Dennis. Miller, Davenport, Turner, Mckinstry coming next. Why does this organization use high draft picks on kids with serious issues already.

Who the hell is Kendra Miller?

Risk/Reward and value.

Which hasn't been working out very well of late.

Only day one but tremendously disappointing! I was, though, encouraged by DA’s calling him out.

This was the most “encouraging “ thing I could take from this situation. DA saying you can’t make the team from the training room.

Alvin Kamara had multiple serious knee injuries before the Saints drafted him.

Marshon Lattimore had lingering hamstring issues before the Saints drafted him.

I'm sure the list goes on, but DA is right, its time to stay on the field.

If you only draft football players with no injury history, you are only going to be able to draft guys that never played. It's a different story when it's a degenerative condition like Tyjae Spears.

They all produced more than he did at this point in their career. He’s had 1 game and no training camps.

Cough cough, Bresee. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doensn't. sometimes guys have perfectly healthy college careers, and get injured a lot in the NFL.

I think you are missing the point. The point is that you can't always tell if a guy is going to have injury issues based on his past.

 

[Wheelo]

I wish other teams used this logic. We may have had a shot at Joe Burrow.

Things revert to the mean over time. We were sooo far in the black on the risk/reward scale after signing a repaired Brees in 06.

Yes but you would think a team that’s know for not having the best medical staff and history with off injured players would…..

We definitely do seem to like playing with this fire too much. You’d think we would eventually see a stronger emphasis to the other end of the spectrum, but it seems like we just really don’t care about injury histories, and are constantly paying the price for it.
