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.

Tai Street?

Willis Mcgahee.
List isn't long. Didn't love the pick. But I'm okay with 1 4th rounder in 2 drafts being used on an injured redshirt player. Good ol' Trent mortgaged the future of the team on them.

I am not saying I am enthused by this pick, but does anyone else find it ironic that many fans think they should have drafted Josh Sweat here instead? A guy with a much more devastating knee injury who still doesn't play like he was projected to 4 years later?

Aaron Colvin did as well. Plenty of guys did. We just have a bad taste left over from Baalke favors but could be his guys just weren't going to be good regardless of injury given his track record.

so just because lynch picked him. that means he will work out. your post is really stretching to give lynch cover in my opinion i just have never heard of seen in the history of the webzone posters all of a sudden rolling out the names of guys who have come back from acl injuries to justify throwing away a valuable fourth round pick. if anyone would have tried to do that with trent. the flaming would be amazing

justifying blowing a pick on this guy by saying gore came back. its part of a vision and well thought out plan and it will work out cuz lynch picked him is f**king mind boggling to me

On the top of my head, three recent prospect who became good players after tearing their ACL in their last year of college or through the draft process, RB Gurley, CB Colvin and LT Ogbuehi.

So people are upset we drafted Street who tore his ACL in a private workout, but were ok with the idea of giving a long term deal to Allen Robinson paying him a s**t ton of money, who is coming off a torn ACL? Street will make a fraction of what Robinson will, and Pettis as well. People need to chill the f out.

Well one is proven in the NFL, kind of a big difference no? I'm mad about it because of two things, no question that better and healthy players were on the board. Almost positive we could have got him MUCH later. Teams are usually in no rush to draft a guy who tore his acl a month ago and is a surefire IR player his first season

I'd have loved Robinson but 1 great yr and a couple good yr is hardly proven and he got 14m a yr and 18m fully GTD on a 3yr deal not worth it IMO.

No guarantee Street was there later, no,one can honestly say that being 10p% certain.
