I have pick 1.01 and am pretty sure I'm taking Austin. I don't understand the "injury risk" because he is small. To me, injuries are much more player specific - I mean Aaron Hernandez, Beanie Wells and Darren McFadden are all essentially prototype size and yet are always hurt, whereas I'm not sure Warrick Dunn, Steve Smith (broken leg aside), or Marvin harrison (all of whom would be consider very undersized) ever missed any significant time - Harrison played nearly every game for years and he was th same weight as Austin and 4 inches taller.I know the idea that someone is "injury prone" is not statistically proven. I also know there's players I always worry about being hurt and others that I feel pretty safe with.
I wouldn't consider there to be any "injury concerns" with Austin, but anyone out there who thinks his size doesn't raise the "risk" of injury above the average (6'0, ~190) WR or your proto-build WRs (6'3, 220) isn't being realistic.
The NFL is filled with the top 1-2% of college players. These are the biggest, strongest, fastest guys from the talent pool.
Austin will be facing defensive backs in the NFL every week on par with maybe the 2-3 best he saw in his college career. This is where I am concerned about Austin. We're all hoping he's going to be so electric, he can use his atleticism to seperate from defenders and get open. In the event the NFL defender is able to nuetralize (to a degree) that dynamic speed/agility he relied on in college, a guy who is 5'8, 175 is going to have a difficult time using his frame, toughness or route running to offset any other shortcomings.
