Reports: Cyrus Kouandjio off 20 teams' boards

[Ruff]

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!!!

Is this just a rumor to try to lower his stock further though?

Ian Rappaport gonna get a big flaming bag of dog poo on his front porch from a guy who's initials are CC.

[tiger7_88]

Shocking.

I wonder if CarolinaCoolin will throw a tantrum and tell us how wrong we are...

But... but... but... JAMES ANDREWS!

Maybe we could bring back in Otah to mentor him on how to deal with injuries.

I wonder what they mean by long term?

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?

[frash.exe]

This all sounds plausible, but I just viewed a rumor mill aggregated in the days land hours leading up to the draft and most of them were wrong if not dead wrong so we'll see if this story has any legs

Or knees

[Krucid]

It's hard to invest an early pick into a guy with knee issues. If he is there in the 4th/5th then i would take a chance. However, he won't fall that far.
