The odds are that our top 3 picks will not all pan out, but not so rare that it takes "insane luck" for it to happen.
In '06 our top 4 picks were Joseph, Whitworth, Rucker, Peko.
In '09 our top 3 were Smith, Maualuga, MJ
In '10 our top 3 were Gresham, Dunlap, Shipley. (plus Geno in the 4th). Shipley's career was ended by injury, but he was an impact player as a rookie with 52 receptions so you can't really blame that on any poor draft selection.
So that is 3 times in the last 10 years. Rare, but not "insanely" rare.
Then sorry for the use of hyperbolic language, but a situation like Shipley or Rucker is added on to what I mean. Even they contributed, but an issue like luck (Regarding injuries) stopped them from being the kind of players they could have been. This obviously doesn't mean they were bad picks though. Anyways no reason to fight over semantics. Love you Fred :)
