But it had nothing to do with how good/bad they were/are. 

It never mattered Tom Brady was a 6th round pick when grading him on his NFL performance

It's not just emotional reasoning because we couldn't have gotten Green AND Dalton had we picked one of the 1st round QBs.  Dalton being a 2nd rounder has a profound effect upon the way we built this team because taking Gabbert (or Ponder, or Mallet, etc) with the 4th overall pick means AJ Green goes elsewhere and if Dalton is picked by another team who "reaches" (I say reaches because even though Dalton has proven he is better than most of the 1st round QBs in his class he was a 2nd rounder then) we have to roll with a different QB.

Again, perhaps we are just dissing different things but the notion of getting value out of a player is heavily dependent upon where he is selected in the draft and who you didn't select in lieu of taking him.
