And in the 2001 draft the very same Eagles took 5-11 Freddie Mitchell (90 receptions in 4 seasons) 11 picks before the Bengals took 6-1 Chad Johnson.
And Simpson was not that bad of a pick at all if look at the entire league instead of just cherrying picking the one example that fits your argument. He had more career receptions than two of the WRs taken before him, and is fifth among the 10 WRs taken in the first two rounds that year.
