It's semantics. What's getting ridiculous is how to focus in on one word and completely ignore the rest of my argument.

Your argument is completely flawed, and that's why you're shifting to your regular routine of being overly defensive.
You're correct about the semantics though... you're still insinuating a 2nd round pick is wasted if not used on a potential star / impact / valuable player.
Again, if that 2nd turned into Lance Bouma is it a wasted pick?
The entire problem is that you have a completely skewed and unrealistic take on what needs to happen with a 2nd rounder for it not to have been wasteful.
If Smith turns into anything close to a Bouma with a bit more offense, that is a home run with that pick. Even if he makes the roster in a 3rd or 4th line role, it's miles away from being a "waste".
