When rebuilding, I tend to favor "safer" picks. I prefer Pittman to all those WRs save Jefferson. Wilson & Ruiz seem thexsafest. Followed by Murray, Queen, & Baun.

I agree with you on Jefferson for sure. It would be a miracle at this point actually. 

But, I disagree with you on "safer" picks being Ruiz or Wilson. 
Wilson's draft range has gone up and down from 3rd round all the way to the 1st. Those are the players that scare me b/c it's hard to get a grasp or gauge how good they could be. 
Ruiz is just off my board altogether b/c we don't need a Center as we've already got 2 starting caliber Centers. 
Ruiz is as much a guess if you want to switch him to a Guard as anyone in the draft. 
He was 1st team Center, not 1st team Guard. And, he hasn't played that position since a little bit his Freshman year. No thanks on position change players at #33. That's not a safe pick IMO.

That's not unusual.  Every year it seems like there are many players that everyone thought was a 1st round talent, that seem to fall to later rounds.  There are a ton of factors that play into that phenomenon, things like looking at game footage as compared to "testing numbers, weather that talent fits a team's specific scheme, personal issues identified in interviews, and the always unpredictable runs on position groups that always seem to happen at some point in every draft.

It's kind of the same as in the business world, supply and demand rules the commerce.  The rarer something is, the higher value it holds.
