- that way you can get something out of his fall without the bust risk.
I don't feel like being less prepared for the combine than he arguably should have been makes him a worse prospect -- I just think Oher is the third best OT in the draft (after Smith and Monroe).

I don't see the bust risk though (admittedly, I didn't see it with Gallery either). He's a three year starter who has shown questionable off-field decision making, but has no physical defects, durability concerns, or questions about his ability.

For me, it's just that I don't know how well his college-dominant skill set will translate. I feel like it might force him across the way or inside. But if I'm the Redskins, that's a small price to pay at No. 13 if he's say, the next Leonard Davis.
