It's important to focus on the word "prospect" when talking about these players entering the draft.
prospect definition - a person regarded as likely to succeed

To say someone is the best prospect in the past decade doesn't mean they will be the best NFL player at their position in the past decade.
It means they have a very high likelihood/chance to be successful in the NFL and are expected to be above average.

So basically when talking about Kyle Pitts, if he isn't the #1 TE in the league in a few years, that doesn't mean he's a bust. He could end up being, for example, the 6th best TE. He's just considered the TE most likely to succeed in the NFL compared to other TEs who have entered the draft in the past decade.
