I may be placing too much emphasis on this, but I had the exact same body type when I played tight end/middle linebacker - 6'5", ~235. I was constantly having joint issues with my shoulders, knees, and elbows, and doctors back then told me I always would because of my body type.I know sports medicine has come a long way in 45-50 years, but  to whatever extent there was truth in what they said, I can't help remembering that the guys who were built like pit bulls instead of beefier baskteball players never had to have ther tendons and ligaments babied like that, with the ultrasound, heat/ice treatments, etc. I'm not saying we shouldn't take him, because they know more about this than I do, but I would probably cringe if it happened on Day One or even any time on Day Two.But someone is quite possibly going to take him fairly early, and they may wind up hitting a grand slam. I just don't think it's something we need to do.I was really excited about Trotter a few months back, so I started paying more attention to him, but the more attention I paid the less excited I was. In games, I just wasn't consistently seeing tha athelicism everyone else was talking about. But damn - the man does have skills.</blockquote>
