Nobody can.
They simply have a larger appetite for risk and/or believe the reward to be high enough to justify it.
I wouldn't, in all likelihood.
But you could show an MRI of a completely successful knee surgery with a totally 'healed' Patella and it still wouldn't answer the questions that actually need to be answered. Happens all the time that guys get hurt and they 'heal' and go through full recovery and are medically cleared and they're just...not the same guy.
And you will not - can not - know until they start to play.
This is one of those odd instances where I don't think you need any sort of information asymmetry in order to reach different conclusions.

Maybe 100% is hyperbole, but they aren't taking him at 31 unless they're extremely confident. They know a lot more than we do and it's extremely odd that so many aren't willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with a very talented player. How had Burkholder and his team not earned the benefit of the doubt?
I understand being concerned, but hating the pick even if they sign off? It just reeks of not knowing what you don't know. Sorry.
