Why is it so hard to say the Chiefs and their medical staff will know A LOT more than we do? It's just a matter of fact.
If they truly have no ****ing clue, he won't be the pick at 31.

It's a physiological question that lies more in the realm of PT at this point than purely medical. And yes, in terms of that, having a great staff to estimate the regained explosion and ROM and so on will be important. Even with that, until he hits a football field, though, it's all just conjecture.
You championed taking guys coming off Achilles tears a few years back and found out the ROI wasn't good. I'm surprised you're this adamant about a similarly detrimental injury.
I would not take a chance on it in round 1, I just wouldn't. There is too much risk involved. Could he be great again? Absolutely. Is it likely? Not based on historical results. I'd take a shot on that in round 2. Round 1, I want more of a sure thing.
