I agree with your first rationale here, but not as much with your second.

Every position has guys that are found in later rounds.  But it doesn't mean you shouldn't take a guy in the first if you find him to be a superior player.  Centers often fall in to the mid rounds, but that didn't stop the Steelers from drafting Pouncey in the first, and it paid off handsomely for them.  Same with Cleveland with Alex Mack.
