Exactly. ACL tears are almost common at this point when they ended you in the 90's.
There hasn't been dramatic progress in this injury. It's still rare and not many good outcomes.
And I'm not against risk. If you'd told me before this draft that Veach was trading up into the top 10 to grab his LTOTF I'd say "He knows what he's doing. Take your shot."
That isn't what we did. We took a big gamble because we didn't want to trade up. We hoped to get lucky like we hoped to get lucky with Kingsly and all our other long shot LT picks.
