Quote:I disagree with you on the first part. If you're drafting someone in the top five, you're expecting him to be a longterm fixture on your team and playing at a high level throughout most if not all of that time. These players are expected to be well above the league average. If Jack, or any player drafted at five for that matter, would last for only five seasons, it would be hard to call them a truly successful pick.


That said, I agree with you on your second point.
