Why Reuben Foster fell.. Dodged a bullet.

i'm pretty sure this is all why the saints were drawn to him.

Dodged a bullet? Or maybe his shoulder gets fixed and he becomes an all pro linebacker for the next 12 years

On TV, Mayock said: “This kid’s got tape like Kuechly.” On TV, someone else worried about how long Foster’s surgically repaired shoulder would hold out. Earlier, the Niners said their doctors passed Foster and thought his shoulder was okay.
Lynch hollered to his chief medical officer, Jeff Ferguson: “You guys worried about his shoulder?”
“What shoulder!” Ferguson yelled back.

We need players who can play right now.

If that's the expectation for rookies, then it's a poor one that is bound to cause people to make rash, kneejerk comments when a player isn't ready to play immediately.


The Saints would be happy for a rookie to play a large role immediately. Like any team. But if our hopes for the season rest with a rookie being an impact player right away, then we're doomed because very often, it takes rookies a while to get used to the speed and difficulty of the NFL game.

Foster's talent far outweighs the concerns at 32 in the 1st round.

I think Foster will be a problem anyways, so they should be thankful the 49ers took him before they did. The guy had an ego problem beforehand, well, once he gets paid how do you think he will act then?? Nah, I'm happy he's a 49er!
