Is Baalke drafting for us again?
Better question: Is there any player, drafted by any team in the NFL, that was suffering from a major injury at the time he was picked, ever pan out to become a starter? Serious question, because my mind is BLANK when trying to think of examples.
Kevin f*gan, who was the greatest point of attack run defender in NFL history. Tore up his knee in college, taken 4th round by us in 1986. Dominated for three seasons (88-90) before the ticking time bomb knee blew. Gave us great situational run defense when he did manage to get back on the field from then on.
