I believe they did all the diligence that is possible at this point.
Like I said earlier, if all he has been cleared to do, really, is squat up to 225 pounds, you're not measuring yet if the leg has returned to the full strength and form that it had before the injury. You can't be.
Maybe they did some additional tests beyond that leaked thing about his squats from Wednesday. I'd feel a lot better if we start hearing some of that now that the pick is locked in. I don't think we have yet, but hey, it's only been like 14 hours since the pick was made.
Maybe Matt Derrick will be courageous enough to dig into that as much as the Chiefs will let him. He's probably the best guy for the job, considering he has torn both patellar tendons.
