If that was the case Cleveland would have won the super bowl for the past 15 years. It's actually quite rare for first round picks to carry entire teams and who wants that scenario anyway? Every season, not counting comp picks and UDFAs 224 players get picked. Only 32 are in the first round and of those several never see the field..
Bottom line, don't get hung up on which round players come from..
While Round drafted in doesn't exclusively predict success...more Pro Bowl players are drafted in the 1st Round than the 4th.
Here's a good article that examines Pro Bowl players selected by Round from 2000 to 2007.
1st Round: 12.5 Pro Bowl Players drafted per year.
2nd Round: 5.5
3rd Round: 2.0
4th Round: 2.375
5th Round: 1.625
6th Round: 1.5
7th Round: .75
UDFA: 4.125
