The issue was the number of different injuries, along with a potentially degenerative injury, and then questions about his speed. So, not just one thing.

That said, it's a high risk, high reward pick. If he can stay healthy, potentially a top player.

Monti didnt go specific about his knee issue and looked even bothered cause of the question during draft day 2 press conference
Then the other passive journalists didnt press him to say something more , at least how they were fine drafting a player with a medical flag in round 2
Just gambling or the outcome of the medical exams was deemed satisfactory.
We know how it worked out for Caleb Fairley

ESPN claims a Michigan football draftee was the second-best selection in entire 2025 NFL Draft

A series of injuries dropped Michigan football star Will Johnson completely out of the first round. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, during Round 1 of the 202

Here is the whole list. Cardinals had 3 "steals" in his top 100 steals.

The other injuries were turf toe at the end of 2024 and a tweaked ankle before the combine. Nowhere near as serious. I was talking about the potentially degenerative injury.

Garrett Williams and DRC both tore their ACL in college. Those were much more riskier picks.

Listened to the official Cardinals podcast, where they had assistent GM Dave Sears on.
Asked on Johnson he commented on the knee and speed. Said that the injury was not a concern, but mentioned that teams had concern on speed and then indirectly answered by saying that he was a great scheme fit for this team.

Their #1 CB.

So I assume that means the team agrees with what the top draft experts are saying that he’s great in the right scheme. Bugler commented on the speed issue and said that would disqualify him for some teams where the outside have to have deep speed, but great in zone. I believe we run the 2nd most zone and the most variation of zone.

I absolutely love the pick, but with that said... If they were that sold on him being great, why wouldn't they trade up 5-10 picks to ensure they got him...

That’s like saying why isnt every team doing this for basically every pick they love? Not feasible.

They said the same thing about DRob last year - that he was a perfect scheme fit for the Cardinals and maybe 2 or 3 others. Some players fit any scheme and others don't (apparently).
