It's easy, and only takes a few moments.One huge underrated aspect about our top picks this year (N'Keal Harry, Joejuan Williams, Damian Harris, Yodny Cajuste) is no injury history, seems like all our draft picks or top ones always seemed to have some history of injuries or were injury prone so this is huge.

So that history will protect their ankles, ACLs and achilles from someone falling into their feet or their heads from concussions ? Guess that protection didn't work for Bentley last year when he randomly suffered a torn biceps.
It is not underrated. It is mostly irrelevant.
I think the most hilarious thing of all is the fact so many people on here have been crying for a decade that BB has left the cupboard bare because of poor drafting.It was quietly hilarious last year that the rookie with the biggest set of medical red flags was the only one healthy at the end by the season.
It may not be underrated, but I disagree that it's irrelevant. Past injury history (or lack thereof) certainly doesn't guarantee anything either way, but not having significant injuries in their past at least removes some chance of re-injury or compensation injury. I'm not going to say it's a huge boost, but it is nice to not have an Easley situation where you're always thinking, "He's a great talent, BUT..."

You are simply falling into a trap here. Having no injuries in the past has absolutely zero predictive value for the future when it comes to a sport like football. The corollary is that just because someone was injured before there is no reason to think he is likely to suffer the same injury again.
Gronk is the best example. Player who overcame a broken back that made him sit out his entire final college year and went on to a HoF career. People like using this absurd notion of "injury prone" when in reality you could have exchanged him with any other player that had perfect health and he would have suffered the very same injury given the individual situations.
Nobody would have not have a high ankle sprained when Pollard fell into his legs, nobody would have not broken their arm if hit like that on the PAT and above all that Ward hit would have shredded anyones ACL.
As @slam said. Sony the one with the worst medical history ironically was the one left standing last year.

I didn't include Stidham on the list.
