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

You can cherry pick a team of guys drafted 2nd Rd or later that would win a Super Bowl. Historical data shows that the success of level of 1-10 picks is higher than past #20 tho. Making the right pick at every level is crucial for success. The higher the pick is though the higher the expectation level is as well.

Cameron Jordan is a great example. As a #24 I thought he was a solid pick and good value. The expectation level for him is nowhere near what was (and has proven right for) #7 Aldon Smith or #11 JJ Watt tho.

Not sure if we even disagree or if it is just semantics
