He's the best WR in the draft in my opinion. As long as he clears those medicals, he's gonna be a star in this league, but hey that's just my humble opinion.
He’s not even doing drills because of a pulled hamstring. Hes the clear cut best receiver, but the best ability is availability. I’m not drafting him if it were my choice. There’s too many good players to spend the 13 on an injury prone WR

Could care less if he's doing drills. The medical is way more important. If he checks out there, I'm all for drafting him. Is it possible he wasn't able to work out that whole time he was out with the initial injury? Maybe he wants to get in the best shape possible to show out at his pro day? I think this is extremely possible based on the fact that this is essentially the biggest "job interview" of his career.
First time I watched one of their games was to get a look at the QB. Ended up focused on the wideout.

That's why I believe what I believe. Anytime I watch his tape he just really stands out. Some of the things he does cannot be coached. I also believe he'd be super NFL ready as his receiver coach was Hines Ward. Those medicals need to come back good though.First time I watched one of their games was to get a look at the QB.

Well, yes, but the concern remains. In your statement we’re talking about injuries.
It’s not that he doesn’t get cleared, it’s that he has a history of injuries. Getting cleared isn’t the hard part, it’s staying healthy. Track record says that’s not his strong suit.

Even though we are talking about late pick vs 1st, Puka's inury history was horrible as well....injury history in college doesn't predict everything. If the Rams think they can better manage his aches and pains, why should they be scared to draft him? Before saying we shouldn't take a chance on anything like that, isn't any player we take on technically a chance taken? Tyson has shown legit star potential/production..... that's what I'm ok with betting on if his medicals check out.
Puka is a rarity. And even he has missed time. And while yes he has shown legit star potential, he’s not the only one in the draft that has. If we had Tate, Lemon, and Tyson all sitting there, while I like Tyson’s skill set best, I’m taking him after the other two…but missing nearly 48% of your college games is concerning.
That's the risk. But on the other side of the equation, you have a WR who has rare movement skills and the potential to be one of the best route runners in the NFL (if not the best). None of the WR prospects are perfect. I thought Tyson was the most impressive, so I'm sticking with my gut here. Obviously, if the Rams find medical red flags, that's a different story.

If Tyson checks out medically, I'm going Tyson before those 2. As jrry32 said it so perfectly, Tyson was the most impressive. Anyone that watches his film can easily see why he's so highly thought of.
