Fair enough. I will just respond with this link to the HS stats of a guy playing in the Cardinals system who was drafted in the 8th round a couple years ago. He was being talked about as a potential 1st rounder after his junior season (!!!) and actually slipped to the 8th round.
Yeah this is an extreme example, but it's a good illustration of what I mean.
