It's very easy to over look players in that range.

I think rankings are analogous to navigating by dead reckoning. The further you get from certainty (be it the #1 overall pick or your place of origin) the higher the potential error.
#4 on a draft list could be selected anywhere from #2 to #6 without a lot of surprise.
If #46 on a list is picked anywhere from #23 to #69, it isn't "off the board"
