That’s not really debatable.
It’s literally the injury and character concerns, which they may know more than we could think to know. We know Burkholder put him under a microscope so if he clears him, I think they’ll take him if possible. The character concerns are accepted by this franchise. I’d imagine they trust the leadership of the locker room to take him.
I will say this: there’s a big difference between a Tackle and a skill position or DB player. He’s not cutting, running 40+ yards downfield or running the same. 90% of his job is within 10 yards.
Also wonder if medical advances were done on him? Suture anchors are the new thing that Aaron Rodgers had done on his Achilles which greatly helps recovery and prevention of re-injury. I read that that is used for this tendon surgery as well. That might be the case bc **** me that guy looked loose at his pro day. Dude was moving after 5 months post-op and it was nuts.
Listen fellas. If Burkholder clears this kid and Andy Reid feels like he’s his guy, you ****ing do it. I trust Andy here. There is no better draft to do this if our staff really believes in a tackle.
I do not believe in Jaylon Moore long term. Neither do the Chiefs based upon his contract. Josh Simmons scares me. I’ve made no changes in that regard, but if they take him I’d imagine they did an incredible amount of due diligence on him. I’d trust them if they went this way.
They’ve earned that trust.

Yeah, I don't have the ability to know the medical. If the Chiefs clear him I would be excited because he has Pro Bowl LT ability.
