We brought Devaney in here to run the draft. I hope he does his job.

This is basically where I come down on this one. It's a tough situation, as you don't want to take a prospect that you know the defensive staff doesn't have as their top preference, but what did we bring Devaney here to do? If we're not going to give his opinion the respect and significance it deserves, why hire him in the first place?

I, being in the party of not knowing, can't tell you if he is or he isn't, but in my opinion, the people who are saying he's not healthy are not coaches or doctors.

According to the Pro Football Weekly article and Howard Balzer, it has been team doctors who have questioned his health. Additionally, you can't exactly believe the words of a GM or coach when it comes to the draft and this time of the year, so we're back in square one with that.
EDIT: From Bernie on this topic...
