Heard this too...initially i thought Monroe would be a "realistic" guy to grab if we traded up (even though Danny/Vinny wouldn't think so) but w/ the knee thing there's no way in hell I'd take him. I dunno to me it's like any top 10 or even top 15 pick should meet qualifications of elite prospect but also clean injury history. The injury thing just multiplies the bust factor that much more.

Well I guess the question is that if Eugene Monroe were to fall to #13, would you take him?

On a different note, looks like BJ Raji is in the clear.

I see Ruh. I would take him if all other top OT prospects were gone along w/ Jackson and Rey. In other words if it's between Monroe and Orakpo I'd take Monroe easy decision.

...dude I can't believe Raji was slandered that way. Saw a headline today asking whether SI owes him more than an apology...i would say so. But mostly I'm just happy for him all this got cleared up prior to the draft. I won't be surprised if he goes top 5.

Unlikely scenario but I'd take him in a heartbeat.
