Rak's reported knee and ankle issues

Watching ESPN and listening to NW insider, I found out that Rak has
had, for the past two years, recurring knee and ankle injuries that
have not healed correctly. In moving to the pros, do think there's
a chance of that recurring set of injuries becoming degenerative?

Could be something to look into but I don't think it's serious.

Who is Rak?

Of course the injury has to be considered and may drop him down on the boards of most teams. I think degenerative appllies more to bones but, reocurring ligament injuries are likely if not sucessfully surgeoned. A person's body has a lot to do with it too taking in consideration that this is a physically demanding game. Risk-reward if it's not a problem. If Ayers is gone at 13th overall I think we'd have to take that risk.

That's the reason I haven't been really high on Orakpo, but all else about him sounds good. I like it that he's a smart dude.

He had a great combine but it still sounds like he gets mixed reviews. I like E. Brown a lot too.

I hope we get either get one of the top 4 OTs or trade back.
