Kind of a shame, the same happened to Ricky Sapp in 2010, knee injury at Clemson that was not properly handled caused a plunge.
Wasn't he talked about as the #1 overall pick for a time?

NFL Draft Scout thought he was the top OLB in the draft for awhile. Compared him to DeMarcus Ware.
-
When he's healthy he's a force. This only makes Aldon Smith all the more valuable.
-
Aldon Smith has health questions as well, as you know. Gotta wonder about that leg injury he had. Doesn't help that he played on it but love the toughness as well as his ability to still make plays despite the injury. He's got a lot of talent and he's better than Jason Pierre-Paul was coming out IMO.

There is a solid dual tiered pool of passrushing DE/OLB types in this draft, some who will go early, and some like Bowers, UNC's Carter, and a couple of other players who should slide into rd #2 or even early #3.
Have read we visited with Brooks Reid from AZ. -
I'd put him in that second tier of prospects Alen, the Bowers and Carter class of guys who really should be good players in the NFL but they have more questions than say Smith or Kerrigan or whomever, deep draft at that position wouldn't mind a trade back into rd #2 but for IL's Wilson not an OLB.

Anyone think Von Miller might slide just a hair b/c he's a part of the lawsuit?
