Completley disagree. In football you can find talent anywhere with good scouts
That sounds like the whole process of scouting, ranking, and drafting is meaningless. I agree that you can find players anywhere but the probability of success is what is tied to the draft position. Even a serviceable LT like Bushrod taken in the 4th Rd is not common. Most top notch pass rushing DEs or LTs either are higher end picks or never hit the free agent market. I rate the Saints scouting as elite with the number of gems they have mined.

Just as an example, players selected 1-10 in 2007 nfl draft...Jamarcus Russell, Joe Thomas, Gaines Adams, Levi Brown, LaRon Landry, Jamaal Anderson, Ted Ginn Jr, and Amobi Okoye (I'm leaving out AP and Calvin cause they proved to be top talent)
After the 10th pick there was Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, Adam Carriker, Darrelle Revis, Lawerence Timmons, Leon Hall, Dwayne Bowe, Jonathon Beason, Joe Staley, Ben Grubbs
