Don Banks brings up some "new" injury concerns about Adrian Peterson.
But at least two teams that SI.com spoke to acknowledged that Peterson's health was a consideration in their draft analysis.
A high-level source on one team said the evaluation of his team's medical staff was that Peterson will require a surgical procedure, which would delay his availability at the start of training camp and perhaps longer. That team estimated Peterson would be sidelined after the procedure for "two or three months." That would likely mean Peterson would miss the entire offseason workouts of the team that drafted him and make him questionable for the early part of the preseason.
Peterson claims he is healthy and told the NFL about his injury at the Scouting Combine. I don’t know how serious this is, but in light of the durability questions already surrounding him, it’s something to consider.
Banks also delves into the trade scenarios in the top half of the first round. It’s a good read, with plenty of possible maneuvering going on.
