The real point of it is, the Chiefs took an enormous risk regardless of who gave what opinion. That's a franchise-altering pick if it does or does not work out.
You never looked at the data. The data is up to 2 years ago, and I can tell you recency hasn't made things any better. The past 2 seasons haven't seen any further increases in the likelihood of the injury being something most players can overcome. None. I don't know what's so hard to understand there.

The 25% number came from a PubMed paper where they included guys from 25 years ago and guys that were 40 years old.
If you have another paper you want to share link it up.
