Thoughts, is it possible Nagy and Juan didn't like Leno's fit along the OL and thought a guy like Wilkerson can play as adequately is him but paid much less?
This is beyond frustrating as he drafted a questionable LT due to health concerns and cut Leno. WTF was Pace thinking?
All I can think of is that the injury wasn't considered serious enough to be a deal breaker. He missed the final games in college due to a lumbar strain. Nagy calls his back issue "back tightness.” If it is something that they can heal and not be a chronic thing, then the Bears landed a 1st round LT talent in the 2nd round. But it's definitely a risk/reward thing. I wonder if butkus3595 has any input on this?
Without knowing exactly what his injury is its hard to say one way or another. The back is a tricky thing, and its not worth rushing him back from whatever it is. What I will say is that if we didn't trade up to get him he was going to be taken where he was regardless. Perhaps some of you have forgotten the run on OT's that was happening in that range.
