Speaking of the 2007 draft class, it was very poor, in my opinion:

1st round, #16 overall--Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
2nd round, #63--Brandon Jackson, RB, Nebraska
3rd round, #78--James Jones, WR, San Jose State
3rd round, #89--Aaron Rouse, S, Virginia Tech
4th round, #119--Allen Barbre, T, Missouri Southern
5th round, #157--David Clowney, WR, Virginia Tech
6th round, #191--Korey Hall, LB, Boise State
6th round, #192--Desmond Bishop, LB, California
6th round, #193--Mason Crosby, K, Colorado
7th round, #228--DeShawn Wynn, RB, Florida
7th round, #243--Clark Harris, TE, Rutgers
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). 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:

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.
