I actually wonder if it isn't an organizational strategy to target injured players just for the sake of always having what appears to be a legitimate excuse. Or perhaps it's more incompetence than conspiracy - other teams may have better injury weighting processes for the draft. Or they could have better conditioning/recovery programs. What's for absolute certain is that it goes beyond just dumb luck. By drafting players who are already injured or who have red flags(like say recent disc surgery or extremely out of shape family members) they are at least tempting fate.
