Unbelievable. The worst were the detractors with the "one-trick pony" argument.

My son Landry.
Who TF was saying that b******t?
I wanted him BAD, but he wasn't available with the 2nd pick. Even when Lynch moved up to draft Pettis, Landry was long gone. I guess you could have drafted him in the first but Mike McG is doing a fine job at RT.
Can you imagine him, Barnett and Buckner? Those are the type of players you want to build your defensive line with. Not AA, Marsh and Solly.

A lot of people were saying that in here, go back and read through the thread. A LOT of people
I'm passing on Barnett IMO he's nothing special as a edge rusher.

The problem is, when Landry fell, virtually everyone was reporting that it was due to concerns about his medicals and his ankle being a ticking time bomb, not his actual ability to play. Its a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" type situation. Imagine if the 49ers had drafted him and he had gone on IR? The same people complaining that the 49ers didn't draft him would be complaining that Lynch blew a pick on an obviously injury-prone player.
If Landy stays healthy then Tennessee got a steal but if his injury issues due eventually catch up with him, it'll be a different story, only time will tell.

I'll take a wild guess and say Phoenix wasn't onboard with drafting Landry.
I liked him just fine as a player, this team just hasn't had great luck with players who have injury issues over the past decade. Reports about him having back problems and chronic ankle issues explained why his stock dropped so rapidly.
A note on BC edge player Harold Landry as he remains on the board: Some teams have him flagged medically (knee/back). A difference-maker at an impact position when healthy, though. Had 16.5 sacks in 2016.
