if you want to expect the same out of a 1st rounder as you do a 7th thats up to you, but im not sure most people do. generally speaking, i think most people expect starters out of rounds 1-3 and role players out of the latter rounds. their are some positional exceptions imo, like guards for example.
i really have no idea what your point about quinn is. its irrelevant as to where he was "supposed" to go. im loosely judging actual production vs expected production by slotting.
I don't expect the same out of a 1st rounder as a I do a 7th...speaking of hyperbole.
I just don't care that a solid role player --like Conwell, Holcombe (99 FB ), Wilcher, Waddy, Kendricks etc--was a 2nd rounder.
And I have to say that to me, caring about that sounds like an excuse not to be objective about the player.
Teams need solid role players. One of the reasons Jackson could run as well as he did in 2011 and 2012, with all the OL injuries and with him getting older (8th and 9th years) is because LK was such a versatile blocker and good H-back type (lining up inline, out, and in the backfield, yet run blocking effectively from every spot).
I save the kinds of complaints you're making for guys like Avery, Leonard, Klopfenstein, Travis Fisher, Shepherd, Polley, and Quick etc...actual busts.
