Late rounds are a crap shoot and some of these players are late bloomers.

While I personally think it would've been better not to have traded the 6th round pick, your logic is kind of silly. It's like saying just because there have been a few lottery winners in the past we should all go a buy lottery tickets.
Trailer Fire didn't say there weren't any 6th round picks who became successful, but the chances are really slim. Listing a few players who are an exception to that doesn't support your point any further than what everyone already knows.
