So we've said before, it would be nice if we lucked into our next Freeney/Mathis type DE.
Well he could be it, its why I picked him in the poll. Its a risk (health), and maybe there was a bigger need at CB (with the idea that better coverage that forces QBs to hold on to the ball for 1-2 more seconds would let the pass-rush-by-committee thing we had last year work even better). But still, getting someone who is a legit threat to pressure the QB on every snap can be a game changer. |

Doctors didn't have any concerns, Ballard asked. They seem to think risk of recurrence is low and he is capable of having a long career.

Ballard mentioned to McAfee that the neck concerns were alleviated because that had two years of tape on him.
It's always going to be in the back of your mind, but it's not like this just happened. He played two full, productive seasons post-injury. |

Latu positives:
Latu's surgery was performed by the same Doc who performed Peyton's surgery. You can't compare him to Leighton Vander Esch because Vander Esch never had the surgery before entering the draft. So he played several season with a bad neck. NFL.com Lance Zierlein has a Latu player comp is TJ Watt and I think that is an accurate comparison. Latu is guy with production and skills not traits and hope. Almost every draft analyst, coach and NFL executive believe that Latu is the most skilled pass rusher they have seen in years. |
