[QUOTE="Vrill, post: 662953, member: 5566"] In my prior post, I mentioned Billings has a shoulder problem that has nagged him his whole career. Its an old weight lifting injury from High School. So basically, we as fans were wanting players with injury concerns. And injury concerns is why every single player we wanted to draft have slid completely out of the first round. Jack (Knee) - It was mentioned yesterday that some GM's are afraid Jack wont last through his rookie deal before finishing that knee off. Jaylon Smith (Knee) Ragland (Aorta) - This really bothers a lot of GM's apparently, not just TT. Billings (Shoulder) So nobody thought these guys were worth a risk in the first round, much less the Packers. NFL scouts and GM's do their homework on these guys. Remember, drafting a player is an investment. Some investments can be damaged goods. So it comes down to risk vs reward and I guess teams didn't want to risk it in round 1. So keep in mind, nobody drafted these guys in the first round. It wasn't just us. [/QUOTE]
