Did they fail to sign other players they drafted? I suppose one could argue that their strategy as to picks 2, 3, 4, etc. could have been different if they thought they would have more money available. That seems awfully difficult to link conclusively, though.
As the articles have clearly stated, Rocker did not voluntarily disclose medicals prior to the draft.they drafted a guy without seeing his medicals
Again, it’s very clear that they had a plan in place should they not like the medicals, which is: don’t sign him and take the additional first round pick next year.WITHOUT a plan in place should they not like them.
Drafting/building a draft strategy around a player whose medicals are unknown is surely a debateable (questionable?) strategy.It's inarguable that they were unprepared.
But, assuming the team wants to do that, how exactly would the team be better prepared for a situation in which their doctors say “the medicals are a problem?”
Serious question; I’m open to being convinced. Can you explain how they should be better prepared?
