You draft the player that will have the most impact over the course of his career, not just who will play the best his rookie season.
Ya know, I really don't see why drafting a healthy good player somehow limits the guy to playing only one year. You get 4 years or 5 years (with 1st round option) out of him. With the injured guy, you get 3, maybe 4, but since we don't seem to exercise their 5th year option, it's really only 3 years or even less if they miss additional time. Ross played in 27 games. That's less than 2 years of work from him. I'd rather have had a guy whose a good player (and there were many on the board at #9) who would have played for 5 years.
Let's just load up on some injured guys. After all, somewhere down the road they maybe, might, sort of help the team. Who needs wins this season anyways with the job security Mike Brown provides his inept staff.
