Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the draft room. This is the Draft Podcast of the Packernet Podcast Network.

If you'd like to call in, like to give your thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, mock drafts, rumors, favorites,

least favorites. 608-561-3-23243 is the phone number to do so.

There's two main things I want to get to.

I'm guessing that won't take all of our time.

There's a billion different things,

but there's two big things that have emerged,

that have become very large storylines.

And so I want to touch on that. So the first thing I wanted to touch on here,

there's an article written by Corey Kinnon. He has his own substack called Draft on Draft.

Or is it daft on draft? It's daft on draft. In the story is a little blurb here,

and I want to read this. Ending on a bummer here, I was told by an NFC scout that Ohio State

All-class safety, Caleb Downs, had a couple of issues flagged during his medical check.

Nobody expected him to test this week anyway, so it flew a bit under the radar.

However, I was told that Downs was flagged with a partially torn meniscus this week. That is not a

serious concern, but also being flagged with a potentially degenerative acl. He says this is not to signify any sort of a

significant drop for downs who likely will return to get a second opinion and a second check.

Besides, plenty of NFL players have been flagged with degenerative knees before, but have gone

on to have successful NFL careers. Apparently since then, Pat McCaffey has talked about it on a show. He reached out to

multiple NFL teams 5 plus. Their unanimous feedback, nothing endowed medical is a deterrent.

This stock will not drop. There's no significant concern. Teams view future kneewear as possible

for any player at this level.
