Thoughts? Kiper mentioned if not for the injury he'd have been top ten but I don't follow the SEC that much so don't know his history other than he was injured early in the season.

60% of the time it works every time. -
He was injured all of last year. He has been injured throughout his college career. If he stays healthy he could be a good player. We'll see... -
Has he been injured throughout, or just last year? I know that as a junior he was all-conference in the SEC and had 7.5 sacks as a DT."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

last year and he played with one arm and still got the double teamPass Jessica's Law and keep the predators behind bars for 25 years minimum. Vote out liberal, SP judges. Enforce all immigrant laws!Comment

true..the injury concerns me. I'll assume he was the BPA on TT's board.
I'm a little disappointed...with Lynch gone I was thinking TT would go Reggie Nelson or Meachem/Bowe.
As I think about it, I like this pick. Harrell supposedly is a great motor and leadership guy, plus he can learn from Pickett (and take over for him if -- God forbid -- Pickett gets hurt) and Kampman, and he frees Jenkins to play DE more. I like that TT is trying to build a strong D with players that have a motor (Kampman, Poppinga, Hawk, Barnett, etc.) and love for the game.
It will be interesting to see what happens in Round 2...Comment

Played 8 of 13 games as a freshman.Originally posted by retailguy
Played 13 of 13 games as a sophomore.
Played 11 of 13 games as a junior.
Played 32 of 39 games before this last year. He has injury concerns. Then again, if he didn't, would we have gotten him with pick #16? Has he had any knee problems? That would be the biggest concern."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Why did you leave off 2006? Played in 3 of 13 games? or something close to that?Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
My point is that the "injury" bug has been REPETITIVE. I actually like the guy, and have always believed you can never have too many linemen. But trying to characterize this pick as less of a "risk" than it is, is simply silly.Comment

biceps is sort of a freak thing. Nice perspective HW. I do think it's an injury risk but I think that is the only reason we got him to begin with so like Minny; I think I'll take it.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Possibly because everybody knows that he was injured last year. He played 24 of 26 games the previous two years before that.Originally posted by retailguy"There's a lot of interest in the draft.

Why pick an injury guy??????Comment

Risk/reward. If the guy truly has top 10 talent, somebody is going to draft him at some point. It's up to a team to determine where the spot to risk taking him is. The one thing I've told myself is that everybody says this draft is really deep at WR and S--possibly the only 2 positions. Maybe Thompson felt he can get good prospects later at those positions. The RBs after Peterson and Lynch are all grouped together, so it wasn't an option.Originally posted by BooHoo"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I've heard Thompson say he takes into account risk reward when he drafts a player. Things like character and injury are in risk and things like love for football, size, speed, production, football skill are in the reward....Originally posted by BooHoo
I'm just taking an educated guess based on what Thompson says he'll do:
I think he took into account all things with the players in the draft and even with the injury risk; he felt Harrell was the best guy to take with that pick.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment
