No one ever said all draft picks should be contributors or stars.   It is pointless to even argue against it, because it's such an illogical and fake sentiment. 

It would be like me going to the Reds board and chastising fans for wanting 5 20 games winners to comprise the rotation -  Just to 'set expecations'

Not always.. 1st rounders can be picked for future starters also.. ie QBs and Tackles are two areas that are picked not for year 1 but for year 2/3
