I think that's fair. He was still considered to be a good prospect, but not elite. But you rarely get elite guys in deals. Teams are too committed to them.
You see flawed guys get moved around - guys like David Rundblad - because teams aren't completely convinced they can hit their potential.
Esposito didn't turn into a junk prospect until his knees betrayed him.
