Nick Perry is watching you, NFL QB's!
Speaking of the 2007 draft class, it was very poor, in my opinion:
So, I guess one would say, two "starters" (Mason and Bishop), and a solid role player (Jones). The others were lucky to make it through their rookie contract on the team and some didn't. Without picking Bishop, this would have been a very, very bad draft class. Good thing he did, though!
This article summed up the injury fears about Harrell soon after he was draft:

We got a decent 3rd down back that was probably drafted too early, and solid WR, a FB that lasted a couple years and only really made an impact on special teams, a future solid MLB, and a decent K.So, I guess one would say, two "starters" (Mason and Bishop), and a solid role player (Jones).

Real GM Football said:Barbre and Rouse could tip this grade way up, but if Harrell can't stay healthy it's a huge setback.
Many of us shared that same fear and unfortunately it turned out to be reality.
