There are some good players this year that would be good pick ups but have some medical issues, players that come to mind is Laiatu Latu and Payton Wilson. How long would their careers need to be for them to be worth the pick?
Keep in mind the average career length of a drafted player is 2.5 yrs and 60% of players drafted in the first see a 2nd contract. Rob Gronkowski was thought to have only a 5 yr career due to back issues, Would you rather have a Pro Bowl player for a short time or a average player for 10 yrs?
IMO if the Hawks drafted a player with medical issues I would be good with a 4 yr career anything more than that is icing on the cake
