What are the chances that a healthy 7th rd pick even makes the team?
Have you seen our roster?
Depends on what position that pick is used on but you are looking at someone who is very likely to be on our final roster if he even has a pulse.
Strief and Colston were both 7th rounders. Thomas Rawls went UDFA a year ago. Talent can be found anywhere.
Look at how many UDFA's/Rookies made the team/got serious playing time last year. Many of them were not good by any means...how many positions on our current roster could legitmately be upgraded with a 7th? off the top of my head WR depth, OL depth, DL depth, DB depth, Starting K...all of whom if they make the 53 this year would play serious minutes and could evolve into a starter if we got a "find".

You wouldn't consider him in the 7th rd?
How many times has Sean been burned drafting players with injuries/potential. When has that ever worked for this current regime? Jaylon has a worse injury than any of those players.
How many teams would have passed him over how many times by that point with full knowledge of his medical records, with better rosters, and more picks than us?

But way more often than not, 7th rd picks don't make much of a contribution.
I understand the injury is bad, but if healthy, he would be in the running for the #1 ranked player in the draft.
If we are just picking examples out of a hat, I remember a QB that we signed who most said would never get back to his previous production due to a possibly permanent injury.
