It was actually well known before the draft that he had a neck issue, but the Cowboys decided to roll the dice anyways just like with Jaylon.
That is why he lasted to pick 19, if totally healthy with no neck issues he would have been a top 5 pick.
He started 1 full year at a small school. You're out of your mind if you think he could have been a Top 5 pick.
Boise has never produced a Top 10 draft pick and they've had a number of players with much better college careers than LVE. Ryan Clady is as high as any BSU player has ever gone at #12.
I like the guy, but come on. First LB wasn't taken until #8, and the second was taken at #16. LVE didn't have the accolades to force his way into the Top 5 regardless of injury.
