Good post. That's the way I view it as well. The graph plotting chances of NHL Player versus Draft Position should look like a very steep ski jumping slope.
This is partly why I noted in the JBo thread that I'd be ok moving the late first round pick from the Pens. Draft top 10-15ish, or do your best to defer to another point when you can.
