multiple teams passed multiple times; that is the nature of any draft...the fact that teams take a pass on a player in round 3 for example doesn't mean a whole lot.
teams generate boards and slot in players based on value vs draft position...a guy like Kozun is definitely a risk, hence the reason why he dropped. However, in assessing risk/reward, you'd think some team might think a 5th round pick is worth the risk/reward for a guy like Kozun.
you can covet a player, but also believe that they could be available in the fifth round...value for the pick is a big part of any team's draft matrix.
