Drafting a quarterback in the seventh round worked out well for the 49ers with Brock Purdy, and today they've done it again.The 49ers drafted Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke with the 227th overall pick.Rourke probably would have been a higher pick if not for the fact that he has twice torn his right ACL. Last year he played the entire season despite suffering his second ACL tear at the start of the season.
