Look at this way years ago we traded up and got Ki-Jana. Carter, a can't miss stud who was injured after we drafted him. He was never the same after the injury.
This year we drafted a guy who was injured before drafted him and a late 6th round pick (not much investment). I will go on a limb and say he has almost as good a career as K. Carter, you can quote me on that.

Heck, even if we get that level of production, it'd be a win. Ki-Jana wound up being a solid goal-line back (21 TD's) and played 7 years.
I imagine surgery has come a long way since 1995 as well.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
