No matter what name gets turned in on the card, every draft pick comes with risk. Some are character, some are scheme fit, some are just evaluation-based. And some are medically related. There’s plenty of reasons why draft picks don’t work out and medical, either injuries known prior to being drafted or ones sustained during a career, have a profound impact on a prospect.
In the Pittsburgh Steelers’ two drafts under GM Omar Khan, they’ve taken plenty of health risks. To varying degrees and of course, teams can have different medical evaluations just in the way they can have different player/ability evaluations.
