Mosely latest draft stock

[deanpet21]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of injury concerns with Mosley around the NFL. Teams are worried about a knee injury and feel that Mosley is entering the NFL beat up like many other Alabama prospects in recent years. The devaluing of inside linebackers doesn't help him either. Some sources have told WalterFootball.com that they think Mosley could slide to the second round - similar to Manti Te'o in the 2013 NFL Draft.


Wow 2nd round. Meaning he is there when we pick. How bad is this injury?

he would be a decent choice at 34 if the knee check out

decent? if the knee checks out he would be the steal of the draft.

Understatement of the year.

Honestly, I've only read bad things about him until recently. hoping we get a veteran FA. May have to make some cuts.

 

[skinz2winz]

Vilma?

 

[martinez]

if he falls to us and we feel his knee isnt a big issue then we draft him.
im hoping we get bullough or andrew jackson in the 4-5 rounds.

 

[gkekoa]

In the mock, I got Max Bullough in the sixth round for Houston.

nice steal

It is not only the knee but he has had multiple surgeries on shoulders, elbows, etc. nit a very durable guy and for the position he is playing, needs to be. If he is there at 34 take him, but I have concerns over shoulder injuries that are recurring from an ILB.

Didn't realize he had all those injuries. That concerns me. ILB has some of the most violent collisions.

 

[Sharkinva]

Starting to sound alot like another NFCEast ILB with alot of talent but a serious laundry list of injures going into the draft. And as Im sure you all know IM not a huge fan of taking guys with a history of injury high in the draft.

I doubt he has dropped that much. I hear this stuff about pretty much every player year after year. Teams like to put out rumors like this in hopes that other teams will slide on a player and they can pick him up.

His biggest injury was a hip injury on this play:

Wouldn't say something like that makes him injury prone, just something that happens. He recovered well.

I think he'll do well in the NFL and he has a great attitude so you won't have to worry about him being a bad team mate or doing stupid stuff.

A couple snippets from various sources...

Amongst a litany of injuries suffered in Tuscaloosa, Mosley dislocated his elbow (as a freshman) and hip (sophomore).

Durability is a concern. He dislocated his elbow and hip in 2011 causing him to miss 2 games and part of the National Championship, respectively. He also underwent shoulder surgery following the 2012 season.

Still, he is talented enough to take at 34.
