I do wish (not just you) would not give comments based on a player's draft position. To me once they make the team whether a free agent or a high pick, it is irrelevant to performance unless I am the owner giving a PR to Tobin or  team's GM. The Pats have a free agent CB playing lights out, we have high draft picks underperforming, but has nothing to do with them being drafted higher, it has to do with them not doing their job.

I understand the higher picks make more money, but the players don't give or earn respect on draft position, they earn it on performance results from each other and the coaching staff.

While I understand the take on draft position, I only brought it up because a late round draft pick is not expected to be even be decent as a rookie, if ever. On the flip side, I expect a 1st round draft pick to come in as a rookie and be a quality starter. I expect a Day 2 draft pick to take 1-2 years before becoming a quality starter at their position.

Any player can play well, and any player can play poorly. However, I just expect that if you're going to take a player earlier in the draft, it's because you expect their ceiling (and floor) to be higher than picking someone later, and as such expect them to become a better player quicker.
