As much as Carolinacoolin and other guys want to preach about this guy, the report right now by Ian Rappoport is that Cyrus is off at least 20 teams' boards all together, due to his knee.

@NFL_CFB: . @RapSheet says he's hearing Kouandjio off the board of about 20 teams (knee concerns). Says #Redskins team to watch w/ him.

There is concern from Alabama's team doctor, but only on the long term.

@RapSheet: Talked to #Bama doc Lyle Cain about Cyrus Kouandjio, who is off many boards. Said: No short-term concerns for cartilage wear. Only long-term

CarolinaCoolin so mad right now.  He's probably furiously working the phones to ESPN, NFLN, and individual team offices to let them know how stupid they are and how he knows for a FACT that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Cyrus Kouandjio's knees!!!  Dr. James Andrews said so dammit!!!

I wonder what they mean by long term?

Probably that the injury concern is there, but four, or so, years in the future. Much the same thing we heard about bowers when he came out of Clemson.

Good question.  Is "long term" 3-5 years, 10 years, 20+ years?  Hell, everyone that big is going to have long-term knee issues.  I have to assume that it's "long term" in terms of his football career which I would interpret to be closer to that 3-5 number.  I know Charlie Casserly said he'd take him if his medical staff was saying that he was good for 3-5 years and I assume a lot of GMs would agree with that at some point in the draft, but where is that point?  2nd round?  3rd?  Even later?

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
