Would Khalil Mack in the top 5 feel like a "Gene Smith type of pick"?

People cite "rankings" of the player which have the player currently around 5 or so, but has Mack been there this whole time? Nope. He pretty much rose late to get him there. Gabbert did the same thing. Ratings mean little unless they show a consistent placing at the top, such as Clowney. The small school concern is real with Mack. Doesn't mean he's destined to fail, but theres a risk. People instead are quick to latch on to Ware as the outlier and automatically assume Mack will be that. 
 

It is absolutely nothing like the Alualu or Gabbert situations.

 

Alaualu was never looked at as a potential top ten pick.

 

And Gabbert fell progressively as the draft got closer. When he declared, Gabbert was considered to be more likely the first pick than even Cam Newton.

 

You're not making sense.
