Moses vs Cyrus vs Bitonio

The only one I have a strong opinion on is Cyrus -- and it's not a positive one. This is an arthritic knee; do any of you have relatives with arthritis? Did it ever just magically go away or did it get worse with time? My guess is the latter. This knee is not going to get any healthier. He may get cleared for a season, but that's all the doctors can do. I just don't like how the future's looking from a medical standpoint.

 

We don't know that he has an arthritic knee.  There has never been an official report saying he did, only combine rumors that have not been corroborated.  Heck, he wasn't even called back to Indy for a combine medical re-check like any other player with a significant question about health.

Take Cyrus, we just need him to give us a good 5 years. That's 5 drafts where we'll get a chance to replace him before his knee collapse.

Desperation? Bad teams do this. Potential upgrades will be available in the 3rd. Still think the staff has more faith in Chandler than anyone in the draft. He resonds to coaching, is athletic and has the size for LT

Bitonio.  I like mean streaks and consistency.  He brings it and his versatility is a huge added plus.  

 

Moses is really good but not really a mauler by any means but has got the build which is hard to ignore.  I'm just not buying him in the first over who else could be available.  A lot of people would have to be gone for me to say he's the most valuable addition we can get.  

 

When it comes down to it, JB has the least amount of issues and most minimal curve.  I just think we want a tough sumbitch who can clear the path and most importantly protect Cam.  He brings all of the above.

After reading that report about Cyrus' knee, he seems to be fine and the OL I would choose (personally I want a WR in the first round but Cyrus would be my second choice).  It'll be three years since he's had the surgery come this fall, I think he's fully recovered.  I've never heard anyone complain about Thomas Davis having an arthritic knee.  And out of curiosity, what is not to like about Bitonio's size.  He's 6'4", 302 pounds and only 2 inches shorter and 12 pounds lighter than Moses.  He's the same size as Jordan Gross although he doesn't have the same skills I grant you that.  He can't do anything about his height but I'm sure he could gain 10 pounds.
