I get that logically, the mathematical probability of landing multiple quality starters late is highly improbable. However, there have been some anomalies over the years that give me reason to think that there is something to be said about in depth scouting and the targeting of players with specific sets of skill to fill a desired role. Think back to the "Legion of Boom" years of the Seahawks defense. That unit seemed to be littered with mid and even late round starters that didn't just fill a role, but excelled.

I'm not saying that just any team can pull something like that off, but one's that know exactly what they are looking for in a player have a much better chance.
